BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) -- A trainer who previously admitted supplying Jose Canseco with steroids now says he also gave performance-enhancing drugs to Mark McGwire.

According to excerpts released Friday, Curtis Wenzlaff -- arrested in 1992 for steroids distribution -- told ESPN's "Outside the Lines" that McGwire's goal was to get "bigger, faster, stronger." The interview is to be broadcast Sunday night.

McGwire last week admitted for the first time that he used steroids and human growth hormone on and off for a decade, including when he set the season home run record with 70 in 1998. He said he took performance-enhancing drugs for health, not for strength.

McGwire was hired in October as hitting coach of the St. Louis Cardinals.
