We're trying to keep baseball within the Olympics after the 2008 Games, and this decision by the Treasury Department of the United States does not help us at all.

The result was very close in both cases, with a difference of only one or two votes. I think we and softball deserve another chance.

We have a duty to get back in the Olympics.

We are trying to find ways to return to the Olympic Games as quickly as possible.

Maybe this time, if we get another vote, we'll be 10 to 15 votes ahead. I don't think this is impossible.

We have done everything we possibly can. I always had the feeling of being able to get a good result.

As for doping, it's a minority. And we are working to address that, too.

I won't enter into a problem with the national committee. The position of Roldan is very good and very clear.

We will do all we can. For us, being an Olympic sport is very, very important. Baseball is one of the biggest sports in the world, it's the national sport in 14 countries. What other sport can say that, apart from soccer?
