Sammy Sosa has responded to the controversy caused by the pictures taken of him at the 2009 Latin Grammy Awards last week. In the photos, Sosa appeared noticeably whiter than his usual self. The erstwhile dark-skinned Sosa caused a stir on the Internet after photos circulating showing his new complexion shade. In comments to ESPN Deportes, Sosa said: "I'm not a racist. What happened was that I had been using the cream for a long time and that, combined with the bright TV lights, made my face look whiter than it really is. I don't think I look like Michael Jackson." He says he applies the bleaching cream, which he acquired in Europe, before going to bed.
