Matthews Doesn't Give Specific Response To Report Of Steroid Use

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Los Angeles Angels outfielder Gary Matthews Junior wouldn't get specific when asked yesterday about a published report that says his name is listed as a customer of a steroid distribution network.

According to the Times Union of Albany, Matthews, former baseball player Jose Canseco and former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield are allegedly on a customer list for the two pharmacies in Orlando, Florida, that were raided Tuesday as part of a steroids distribution investigation.

When asked if he used performance-enhancing substances, Matthews said he hadn't read the story himself, didn't have all the information and wasn't in a position to answer specific questions. He added that he expects the matter to resolve itself in the near future.

Federal and state agents arrested four company officials who have been charged with enterprise corruption, criminal sale of a controlled substance, criminal diversion of prescription medications and insurance fraud.
