Maybe he didnt have to work out as hard as the other guys, but the myth that Steroids make you magically big is one that should die.
Bonds was alledgedly taking them because they helped him recover faster after injury, from what I can tell..
This is probably what he meant. I mean, it's not like Canseco sat around eating Cheetos while everyone else worked out.
Jose Canseco.... A true role model for the youth of America.
Isn't Andro a type of steroid?
"but the myth that Steroids make you magically big is one that should die."
Use of roids in baseball best DIE.
In all professional sports.
You look at Bonds, and its pretty obvious he took SOMETHING, how late in his career, he got hyoooge.
"In all professional sports."
Yep......and a DAMN SHAME.
Why is everyone dumping on Canseco? At least he told the truth unlike all of the other "juicers". It's similar to the situation when the CIA stopped using bad guys as informants. Useful intelligence dried up because who would know better what criminal activity was going on bettter than "actual criminals". It's the same with juicers, junkies and dope fiends they all know where the dope is and who is using it.
Gee, what a surprise. La Russa knew?
Tony protests too much. Sure, Canseco is a selfish jerk, we have always known that. Most of us also knew that McGwire and many other ballplayers were roid freaks too before this latest brouhaha.
By the way, why is nobody talking about Ozzie Canseco (Jose's identical twin) as a benchmark for what Jose would have been without steroids? It's like being able to look at a clone. Ozzie Canseco career stats - 24 games, .200 BA, 0 HR, 4 RBI
"Why is everyone dumping on Canseco?"
Not dumping....but no respect whatsoever for his career in baseball along with the other CHEATERS.
Canseco was on WEEI's "The Big Show" yesterday, and from what I caught of the interview, this whole thing seems, to me, anyway, a big case of sour grapes. Canseco feels as though he was blackballed by MLB and that "white media members" purposefully destroyed his reputation because he was a successful Hispanic player.
Told the truth? He blames everyone else: McGwire, LaRussa, President Bush. Of course, blaming those three guys helps him sell books. We should praise him for trashing the president?
Uh, why should I believe this person?
