Here's what Selig has to say for himself:
Any admission regarding the use of illegal performance-enhancing substances, no matter how casual, must be taken seriously. It is in the best interests of baseball for everyone, including players, to cooperate with Senator Mitchell in his investigation.

A dark day for honesty, methinks.
In an unrelated story, Selig has been contacted by Russian president Vladimir Putin regarding an open position in the Kremlin's PR department. More details to follow.
