Supposedly McGwire made a deal before he gave his Congressional testimony that allowed him to finesse the admission of his past use.

But he's still somewhat delusional about the effect of steroids on his home run performance, claiming it wasn't the drugs but rather God + Natural Talent that allowed him to "break" the HR record.

Jose Conseco is confused about McGwire's current position:

Jose Canseco says Mark McGwire is still lying about his use of steroids and his former manager Tony La Russa isn't telling the truth either.

McGwire admitted Monday that he used steroids for a decade, including when he hit 70 homers in 1998, but denied Canseco's claims that he injected himself and McGwire with steroids in bathroom stalls.

"I've defended Mark, I know a lot of good things about him," Canseco told ESPN 1000 radio in Chicago on Tuesday. "I can't believe he just called me a a liar. Umm, there's something very strange going on here.

"I even polygraphed that I injected him, and I passed it completely. So I want to challenge him on national TV to a polygraph examination. I want to see him call me a liar under a polygraph examination."
