Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz talked with the media Friday about the PED claims leveled against him in a report.
Cruz said he couldn't talk about specifics of the matter.
"I want to be honest but because this matter is under investigation by Major League Baseball I cannot make any comments about it at this time," Cruz said. "As soon as this is done I will address you again and tell you everything I know."
Cruz has not talked with officials from MLB but said he would be willing to do so. Cruz was in Texas when he found out about the Miami New Times report last month and said it's been difficult.
"It's been rough, you know," said Cruz, who still plans to play for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic. "I've got to thank the fans and my family. They support me. It makes everything easier for me. It's right there. Everyone is talking about it. Everywhere I go people ask me about it."
Cruz said it will be difficult for the investigation not to become a distraction.
