    Athletes Reactions
    Padres third baseman Phil Nevin
    "I do believe that the mind-altering drugs and that stuff should be looked into. But I'm not too sure about steroids. It's a touchy subject. I'd say, if a guy wants to abuse his body that way, that's his business. That's his problem. We're all grown men."
    Mets first baseman Mo Vaughn
    "I know people can say whatever they want, but man, it's a shame that people leave the game and then they make comments like that. You talk like that, you make others who aren't involved with that stuff look bad. You live your life. I know how I live my life."
    Commissioner Bud Selig
    "No one denies that it is a problem. It's a problem we can and must deal with now. I'm very worried about this."
    Yankees manager Joe Torre
    "If it's something that's going to hurt you, you shouldn't do it. We all know how important it is to play baseball and perform at your best, but that's a helluva price to pay."
    Dodgers first baseman Eric Karros
    "I welcome drug testing for me at any time. I've never done anything, but I'm the only person I can comment on. I can't speak about other people, nor would I feel it was right to speak about them. If somebody wanted to use it, that's their own decision, and I would not be surprised if I found out that other players used it. It would not be shocking to me."
    Padres manager Bruce Bochy
    "I'm not surprised – maybe a little bit, I guess, but it's certainly not a big surprise. Players are using steroids. With Cammy's injuries that year, that rotator cuff injury, and his build it doesn't shock me. I think we wondered how he got through that season. Maybe that was the only way he could, with that."
    Padres GM Kevin Towers
    "I didn't know for sure. Guys don't do it in front of you. But guys get bulked up during the offseason and come in bigger and stronger and you wonder. It's a relatively new drug – at this game."
    Padres pitcher Trevor Hoffman
    "If it's as big a part of the game as they're saying it is, maybe it has to be addressed."
