Orioles' Roberts admits HGH use


Orioles 2nd baseman, Brian Roberts after having his name show up in the Mitchell Report, admitted to using HGH during the 2003 season, but says he only used it once.


In a statement, made by Roberts himself, he said "In 2003, when I took one shot of steroids, I immediately realized that this was not what I stood for or anything that I wanted to continue doing. I never used steroids, human growth hormone or any other performance-enhancing drugs prior to or since that single incident."


He finished by saying "I know that by being a professional athlete, I am held to a very high standard. I never have and never will take that for granted. However, I am also human and I have made mistakes."
