07:48 AM ET 04.19 | Orioles star Brian Roberts said yesterday that his first direct exposure to steroids was when he saw teammates using them after he was called up from the minor leagues in 2001, but he never imagined he would succumb to the temptation to use the drugs. In an informal talk to high school athletes - and in an interview with The Sun - Roberts, a two-time All-Star and one of Baltimore's most popular athletes, described how he came to use steroids once in 2003, why he kept it quiet for years and why he ultimately admitted his mistake.

Give us a break. You figured it would make you better and you could get more money. Greed, that is all and nothing more...

Roberts, being the hayseed he is, thought they were talking about the pressure of "hemmroids" and what a pain in the ass they can be. So he figured that was why Palmeiro, Tejada, etc. were taking injections in their ass.
