Bo gets an apology

The home web page of the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin carries this retraction:

An apology to Bo Jackson

A story we published online March 24 and in print March 25 contained a quote stating that past "anabolic" use by retired sports star Bo Jackson caused the loss of his hip. Jackson has stated publicly he has never used steroids. We retract the quote and the further statement that the speaker personally witnessed this damage to his life. We apologize to Mr. Jackson, without reservation.
