My life was on the line here and my career and everything I worked for, it was hanging by a thread.

The tragedy of all of this is that it happened to me and it shouldn't have happened. It ruined my life and my career. That's the tragedy of this.

The other deals with my life and my livelihood and my family and all that I stand for.

I'm not sure. I did not set it up. I have never done a polygraph test in my life. I didn't know what to expect. I was just there to answer the questions that they put in front of me.

I hope that people look at my whole career and appreciate that I've given everything that I've got.

I wish that they had the freedoms like the Japanese and the Koreans and the Mexicans and everybody else that has that freedom to come over here and play the game, because I know Cuba has a very strong baseball history.
