"Good morning, Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee. My name is Rafael Palmeiro and I am a professional baseball player. I�ll be brief in my remarks today. Let me start by telling you this: I have never used steroids. Period. I don�t know how to say it any more clearly than that. Never. The reference to me in Mr. Canseco�s book is absolutely false." -- 3.17.05, Rafael Palmeiro* testimony to the Committee on Government Reform, United States House of Representatives
