MANAGER FOR the Texas Rangers, Ron Washington has shoocked many by apologising on Wednesday for using cocaine in the 2009 season. The Major League Baseball manager had made this statement in a press conference in Arizona, in the presence of most of the Texas Rangers team.
Ron Washington even offered to resign from his position, as well as voluntarily submit to additional testing by Major League Baseball in the future. Nolan Ryan, Texas Rangers president and Jon Daniels, general manager, apart from other officials decided not to accept the resignation as he had once used cocaine once.
Nolan Ryan said, "We think of him as part of our family. Just because somebody in your family makes a mistake doesn't mean you quit loving them. We'll move forward."
Ron Washington concluded saying, "I didn't have much to say, other than the fact that I was sorry for what happened. I hope they will allow me to continue to lead them. They embraced it. And if you look around the room, you'll see the support they have for me because they know the support I have for them."
