In his first comments since an Al Jazeera America report linked him to alleged performance-enhancing drug use, Washington Nationals star Ryan Zimmerman was defiant Tuesday.
According to Chase Hughes of CSNMidAtlantic.com, the 31-year-old first baseman lamented the fact that the report could negatively impact his reputation within the community:
I've spent my whole career, my whole life really doing things the right way, so you're shocked. ... It's one of those things where you don't really have an answer. You don't know why or how this happened.
