Former Boston pitcher Paxton Crawford said he used steroids during his time with the Red Sox, claiming in a magazine story, "It was just everywhere."

Crawford, who detailed his steroid use for this week's issue of ESPN The Magazine, gave a brief telephone interview to The Boston Globe published Thursday, in which he said numerous players in the Boston system used performance-enhancing drugs.
