Wonder why everything is so cryptic about this story?

Stuff like this:

"It's not what it seems," Schafer told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in an exclusive interview at the team's spring training complex. "It's different, but I really can't comment. I have to just let people think (what they will) and move on, and people will see by the way I play when I come back it was nothing like that. I'm the same player I've always been. It has nothing to do with any of that."

Why not just come right out and refute the allegation?

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. It sounds like he's guilty but just doesn't want to admit to it.

One thing is for sure, it sounds like he's going to have a lot of pressure on him to play up to the level that he did before.
