    Just one year ago, Jose tweeted about alien contact and time travel. This week, he again tweeted about alien contact, threw in Bigfoot, and expressed concern one or both having the coronavirus. Is he admitting they gave it to him or that he gave it to them? Is any of this true or even possible – including aliens or Bigfoot having the coronavirus? In 2019, after announcing that he’d had contact with aliens, Canseco and Morgan Strelow at Morgan Management announced that five lucky people with $5,000 to waste (ah, those were the days) could “Go on a Bigfoot and...

    Jose Canseco’s political aspirations know no bounds. According to his most recent social media activity, even the office of President of the United States is in his sights. When last we left you, the former Oakland Athletics star was eyeing the position of president Donald Trump’s chief of staff. His offer to help his “little buddy” came in the aftermath of John Kelly announcing his decision to step down as chief of staff in February, and Trump’s top choice to replace Kelly, Nick Ayers, turning the job down. Now, after an overwhelming groundswell of eye rolls and “sure thing, Jose’s,”...

As seen in the photo above, Poulton sports a face tatto mimicking that of professional boxing legend Mike Tyson.

    Former MLB star Jose Canseco says he will show his support for Caitlyn Jenner, the former Olympic decathalon gold medalist Bruce Jenner, by living as a woman for one week. “I can't say exactly how it's going to be done yet," the slugger told the New York Daily News. "It will be done for about a week — it will be on my Internet show called, ‘Spend a Day With Jose.'"

  • Canseco to Sue MLB and Union for Steroids Backlash

    NEW YORK — Jose Canseco plans to file a class-action lawsuit against Major League Baseball and the players’ association, saying he’s been ostracized for going public with tales of steroids use in the sport. Canseco said Wednesday that he has discussed the suit with lawyers and intends to enlist Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro to join in the suit. Canseco said the basis of the suit would be “lost wages—in some cases, defamation of character.” “Because I used steroids and I came out with a book, I was kicked out of the game, but I have not been inducted into...

    Roger Clemens, future Hall of Famer, welcome to family court. No, Roger isn't getting divorced--in fact, former teammate Jose Canseco wrote that Clemens was very devoted and faithful to his wife Debbie during his baseball career. What I mean is this--Clemens has been accused in the Mitchell Report of using steroids. Clemens hotly denies this but throws up his hands in exasperation, repeatedly asking, "How do you prove a negative?" Well, how do you? This is exactly the position that so many fathers are in when faced with false accusations of domestic violence or child sexual abuse in family court....

    WASHINGTON (AP) - Retired slugger Mark McGwire Thursday told a congressional panel investigating drugs in baseball that he would not "participate in naming names" of players who used steroids. McGwire did not say in his opening statement to the House Government Reform Committee whether he used steroids. Two current players, Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro, said they never used steroids. That duo and McGwire were accused of using performance-enhancing drugs by Jose Canseco in a best-selling book that helped prompt the hearing. In a tense scene, Canseco sat at the same table as the other players as he told the...

    Instead of pitchers and catchers, the opening of baseball's spring training seemed preoccupied by syringes and steroids. One day after stores began selling former American League MVP Jose Canseco's book of doping allegations, the New York Yankees, Washington Nationals, and Cincinnati Reds opened their training camps. In his first press conference, Yankees manager Joe Torre faced a torrent of questions about the proliferation of performance-enhancing drugs in America's pastime, with the subject taking the first half-hour of the 45-minute session: "It doesn't go away, unfortunately." In light of the quick sales of Mr. Canseco's new book, Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant...

    President Bush was unaware that some of his players allegedly were using performance-enhancing drugs when he was the general managing partner of the Texas Rangers, the White House said yesterday. As the Daily News first reported Sunday, Jose Canseco claims in his upcoming book, "Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits and How Baseball Got Big," that he introduced Rafael Palmeiro, Juan Gonzalez and Ivan Rodriguez to steroids after he was traded by the Oakland A's to the Texas Rangers in 1992. Canseco claims Bush must have known about his players' illegal drug use but did not address it. "If...

    On June 3, Chicago Cubs superstar Sammy Sosa hit a routine ground-out that had extraordinary consequences. His bat broke, exposing an illegal, cork-filled center. "Corking" makes a bat lighter, so that a hitter can swing it faster. Bat speed generates power, and Sosa, with 505 career home runs and a record three seasons with 60 or more homers, was assumed to be a premier power hitter. When previous sluggers were caught doctoring their bats, they were publicly humiliated and suspended. In the most recent incident, in 1994, Cleveland Indian Albert Belle was suspended for eight games. But things have gone...

    Already Convicted, Jose Canseco Arrested Again Former Major League Baseball player Jose Canseco, already under house arrest, has been arrested again. Canseco was arrested Friday at his home at 10131 N. Lake Vista Circle in Davie for a probation violation, according to the Davie police. Officers said that Canseco, 39, tested positive for steroids, a violation of the terms of his probation.

Canseco reportedly used a "controlled substance" on or about June 3. This is Canseco's second...
  • Senate to hold hearing on steroid use among athletes

    WASHINGTON -- Congress is going to look into steroid use in baseball, following the recent disclosure that two former league MVPs used the muscle-building drugs. Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., said Monday he plans to hold a hearing that also will look at steroid use in the Olympics and among college athletes. Dorgan is chairman of the consumer affairs, foreign commerce and tourism subcommittee of the Senate Commerce Committee. "Everybody knows how damaging use of these steroids are to athletes' health," Dorgan said. "We've got an issue to face as a country, not just among baseball players, but also with college...
