Jose Speaks:
Jose Canseco is writing a book. Or at least he's talking to a reporter who's going to write a book for him. Jose admits to steriod use. Alert the media! He's going to name names of others who are using steriods. This has to be the biggest news since the good unemployment report at 8:30 this morning. :-)
I'm sort of disappointed that the Wall Street Journal is involved in this. This is a crass story that is being sensationalized. I really don't care about Jose's failed marriages or his relationship with Madonna. Who hasn't had a relationship with Madonna? (Hands please?) :-)
We now have a few people who say they either used steriods illegally, or know of people who used them illegally, or both. People will be calling for baseball to clean up it's act. I disagree. It's time for law enforcement to get involved. Subpoena Canseco and Caminiti and Brian McRae. Start talking to Bonds and Boone and the other people who have doubled their size recently. Make some arrests. I believe it worked in the 1980's in putting the cocaine scandal behind us (although, who really knows if anything changed). A superstar in jail will do a lot more to curb steriod use than any policy the union and management produce.
