I am embarrassed and would like to apologize to my family, the Rangers organization, and our fans that I was taken in on this charge.\" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added, \"Because this is an ongoing case, I cannot discuss this matter any further at this time.&amp;#8221;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
