TEMPE, Ariz. – Gary Matthews Jr. would not comment specifically on a report that his name was listed as a customer of a steroid distribution network.

“I haven’t read the story myself, and I don’t have all the information,” the Los Angeles Angels center fielder said when asked if he had used performance-enhancing substances. “So until I get more information, this is going to be my position.”

Albany County (N.Y.) District Attorney P. David Soares, who led an investigation into the distribution network, said that athletes’ names were on the client list, although he would not identify any of them.

The Times Union of Albany, which first disclosed the investigation, reported that the names of Matthews, former baseball star Jose Canseco and former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield were allegedly included on customer lists for Applied Pharmacy Services in Mobile, Ala.

The two owners have been indicted by an Albany County grand jury.

Matthews spoke with reporters briefly before taking the field at the Angels’ spring training camp, beginning the session by saying he would not answer specific questions.

“I do expect it to resolve itself here in the near future. … Until we get more information, I just can’t comment on it,” he said.

Matthews said he didn’t know why is name was reportedly on the client list, adding, “That’s what we’re working on, trying to find out. I will address it at the appropriate time.”

The 32-year-old Matthews, a longtime major league journeyman who had a breakthrough season with the Texas Rangers last year, signed a $50 million, five-year contract with the Angels in November.

A career .263 hitter, he batted .313 for Texas last season, set career highs in homers (19) and RBIs (79) and became a first-time All-Star.

Angels owner Arte Moreno said the club was seeking more information about the report, and that he, general manager Bill Stoneman and manager Mike Scioscia were among team officials who met with Matthews.

“We don’t have much information, obviously, and you’re dealing with the players’ association. They really want to get more information,” Moreno said. “We had a meeting just to basically tell him how we felt, that ‘we’re not going to ask you any questions until you’re able to tell us, but we’d like you to be straight up with us.'”

The Angels are the seventh major league team for Matthews, who has been waived three times since making his major league debut with San Diego in 1999.

“Gary has said he doesn’t want it to be a distraction,” Scioscia said. “He played yesterday in our intrasquad game, he’s going to play tomorrow and he’s going to keep getting ready for the season. We have to see the direction this thing goes and while it’s unfolding, concentrate on getting ready for the season. That’s where we want Gary to be.”
