On Sunday, Chicago Bulls guard and this year's MVP, Derrick Rose, denied having told ESPN that he believes performance-enhancing drugs are a big problem in the NBA.
Rose was supposedly asked by ESPN how much of a problem, on a scale of 1 to 10, he thinks the use of performance-enhancing drugs is in the NBA.

In response, Rose reportedly said, "Seven. It's huge, and I think we need a level playing field, where nobody has that advantage over the next person."
But on Sunday afternoon, Rose released a statement in which he basically denied having ever made such a statement.
"Regarding the quote attributed to me in ESPN The Magazine, I do not recall making the statement nor do I recall the question being asked," said Rose. "If that was my response to any question, I clearly misunderstood what was asked of me.
"But, let me be clear, I do not believe there is a performance enhancing drug problem in the NBA."
