Even after admitting to having used steroids in the peak of his career, Mark McGwire says that there isn't a pill or an injection that would give him the "hand-eye coordination or the ability or the great mind that I've had as a baseball player."

And now you want to come clean on the verge of your new job? I'm not buying it. What is it that Oprah always says Maya Angelou says to her? "When someone shows you who they are the first time, believe them!" SUSIE VALENTINE, MINNEAPOLIS
