Baseball outcast Jose Canseco regrets writing his
2005 steroids tell-all "Juiced" and is scared for his
health after 23 years of performance-enhancing
drug use, an addiction he claims he kicked only this
year.
"The biggest mistake I made was, I should have not
written (the book)," Canseco said. "The more I think
about it, the more I regret mentioning these players
in my book."
The disclosures are part of "Jose Canseco: The Last
Shot," a one-hour documentary airing Monday night
on A&E. The program followed Canseco this summer
through a trail of health, financial and personal
setbacks and notes his Oct. 9 arrest for trying to
smuggle a female fertility drug across the Mexican
border.
Canseco, 44, was arraigned on a misdemeanor
charge last week and has a Nov. 4 court date.
In the documentary, Canseco reiterates his claim that
baseball powerbrokers forced him out of the game,
angering him to the point that he "wanted revenge."
The book was his revenge, he said, and he named
names "to show I was telling the truth" about the
steroid culture.
Canseco wrote in "Juiced" that he injected Mark
McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Juan Gonzalez and Ivan
Rodriguez with steroids.
The program does not get into Canseco's role in the
Roger Clemens perjury investigation or the release
of "Vindicated," a book labeling Alex Rodriguez as a
possible steroids user. An A&E spokesman said
there was not enough time to fit in all of Canseco's
recent problems.
Gee do you think? Oh wait a minute, we are talking about Canseco. He does not think!:nono:
