"Did I put them in contact with the people to acquire them? Yes. Did I educate them on how to use them properly, and what way, shape, or form, and when, and with what supplements? Yes. Absolutely"
About this Quote
A brisk, prosecutorial rhythm runs through the lines, a self-interrogation with preloaded answers. The rhetorical questions land like cross-examination, followed by clipped affirmations that project certainty and control. The cadence suggests a man who knows his role in a controversial system and refuses to hedge: facilitator, educator, broker of access and knowledge.
The admission is not just about procurement; it’s about infrastructure. “People to acquire them” gestures to a network, suppliers, intermediaries, quiet corridors where performance enhancement becomes logistics. “How to use them properly… when… with what supplements” signals a technical vocabulary and a culture of protocols: timing, dosage, stacking, ancillary compounds. The language transforms illicit practice into a regimen, hinting at a harm-reduction ethos: if it’s going to happen, better it be done “properly.” That framing becomes a moral defense, a recasting of complicity as stewardship.
There’s also self-fashioning at work. The speaker positions himself as both whistleblower and architect, the insider whose expertise confers credibility. The emphatic “Yes. Absolutely” functions as branding, staking a claim to authority while implicating a broader ecosystem. Individual responsibility is acknowledged, yet the emphasis on education and contact nudges attention toward the collective: teammates, trainers, tacitly permissive institutions. Cheating, in this telling, was not a solitary sin but an organized practice embedded in the era’s incentives.
Tension hums beneath the composure. To teach best practices in an illicit domain is to inhabit a gray zone where care and corruption blur. Mentorship becomes a vector for risk; leadership becomes leverage. The tone resists contrition, yet the precision of the details reveals how normalized the behavior had become, so normalized that safety protocols and supplements are part of the package.
What emerges is a snapshot of power, influence, and rationalization in professional sport: a confession that doubles as indictment, exposing the machinery that allowed ambition and silence to outrun oversight.
