Steroids, Rafael Palmeiro, and Naming Names with Baseball Legend Jose Canseco

[DucatiPaso750]

I am on Canseco's side. Yes, he is arrogant, however, what he said in his books was true. I now suspect ALL world class atheletes, with the exception of race car drivers, to be taking some type of performance enhancement. Maybe he sold out his commrads, however, baseball, our national past time, sold us out.

[philpont]

When I was young,about 20 years ago I was in try out camps with the NY Mets and Philadelphia Phillies. From the head scouts in charge of the program,we were informed that baseball was purely a business where a person if they were good enough could come out with a million dollar bank account and never would have to find a regular job again. Competition was fierce and a young drug dealer came up to a group of us at Phillies camp and offered to sell us steroids. He said to beat everyone out,

[philpont]

@philpont roids are needed. I t will make you quicker and give you the edge. After that time,I could see he was right and everyone knows he is right now. Pro sports is a complete fraud designed to separate a fool from his money. There are no losers in their business. Players of the losing team still come home to mansions while their sucker fans get arrested for these people and barely could pay their bills. Wake up America and stop making people of little importance rich for playing a kids game

[transitny]

...I should also say that I believe what Canseco has said, even though he's self-serving. I always knew that there would be players using drugs, players corking bats, doctoring balls etc. to get an edge...But 40% or 50% of the league on drugs (or whatever ridiculously high percentage)? Baseball has been operating on a fraud level for at least 20 years...

[transitny]

Am I the only one who's washed his hands of baseball? I might be an exception...But ever since the steroids and HGH scandal broke out, I have not watched or paid to see a game and I don't think I ever will again. I was an avid Mets fan from I was a little kid, I watched every game and went to 3 or 4 games a year. Now that all of these players have been exposed as cheats, I feel as if I was robbed of money and time when half of the game was on drugs...

[yankeesplayer2010]

he ruind baseball in mah opinion

i mean is cleaned now and i still love the sport(YANKEES ALL DAY)!!!

but i think he ruined it cuz now we dnt see 50 HR or more anymore

and that was a big part of the game 2 me but is w.e cuz now pitching is comming back soo im not that mad anymore

[darkinsdme2]

Last I checked, anabolic steroids are an illegal substance so why is this dicklicking, scumbag not in jail for the rest of his pathetic life for distributing which carries a much harsher penalty than using? Also, it's not MLB's responsibility to contact shithead to get steroids out of baseball. All MLB can do is set the rules and drop the hammer on those who don't follow them but it is up to the owners/managers/coaches to regulate their teams. MLB only owes Canseco a lawsuit and felony charges.

[darkinsdme2]

Let me add this too...let's say steroids, hypothetically, are involved in the NFL, NHL and NBA. Are we really going to let dickholes like Canseco attempt to fuck every professional sport up...true or not? Let's say Ruth, Aaron, Jabbar, Gretzky, Howe, Jordan, Chamberlain, Cy Young, Reggie White, Bruce Smith, Deacon Jones, Ronnie Lott were all on steroids...should they all be removed from the record books, HOF and treated like villains? Fuck Canseco...he is a greedy, soulless, backstabbing prick.

[lalaluuubeee9]

as crazy as conseco sounds he is absolutely right

[overbeckjdizz]

well all i know is that jose canseco has a tiny penis

[ranzingerm]

God I hate this guy

[Islesowndisleague]

@ranzingerm Why for saving baseball????

[albertini9]

Truth is better than being a lying deceiving piece of crab like players in sports today. So lets root for cheating drug users while we put Jose Canseco aside as the bad guy. Jose Canseco has guts to do what he did and it takes people like him to expose drugs users and cheaters in many fields in life.

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

Lol Jose Canseco knows steroids.

He is the king of steroids. His whole game WAS steroids.

If he says someone's on roids, he knows what he's talking about,

[MrBodybuilder999]

Steroids are everywhere and it is fucking great..apart from all you american pussys given steroids users a bad name....jose canseco saying you need to respect...respect what? you fucking twat rat basterd!

[rkoistheman]

@MrBodybuilder999 its not great small dick bitch

[loslorie]

@MrBodybuilder999 agreed, steroids are amazingly good. i dont know why in the united states is so big deal.

[admrlcheese]

Obviously Conseco is only doing this for himself, and he's nothing but a piece of shit snitch. However I do believe what he's saying. Bud Selig knew about the steroids and so did all of the owners but they did nothing about it because after the strike McGwire and Sosa brought baseball back and the owners kept counting the money. You can't blame the other players for juicing for they needed it to compete otherwise no career and no payday. Now Selig is posturing acting all tough on steroids- BS!

[Mentallyawake568]

this guy's a bitch. hang yourself faggot already .

[RicardoElSalvi]

Canseco You Fucken Snitch ...

[camel595]

@RicardoElSalvi hahahahaaha

[i7vSa7vi7y]

Yeah. Haha. He got all butthurt.

[ChrisFlipsAlot]

damn roid rage kickin in at the end LOL

[alchavez20]

ohhh shit his steriod aggression is kicking in at the end lol

[nenzi671]

I think he is a fucking douche bag for ratting on everyone & naming names just to make a buck bc he was broke from overspending, but he apparently never lied about anything. He even said ARod was using before he was outted & no one believed him. Dont forget, there are still 103 names on the Mitchell Report who tested positive for roids but their names were not released. Yet. Let JC rat those guys out too to sell more books. JC is still a jerkoff & those shades at a press conference show it.

[ThaShipenator]

haha i love it when he tells that dude to fuck off. good shit conseco

[cookiegate]

You can just come out naming people and not get away with it. So it must be true. Now call him a rat or whatever but it is what it is.

I dont like a rat either but he is on the good side of this. Now I would not rat on somebody and put them in jail. (Unless they are a rapist or something like that). But a steroid cheat.

Fuck em. They undermine the integrity of sport.

[sandro28grizz]

@cookiegate He's on the good side of this? How? He didn't do it to save the sport, he did it to make money. Canseco sold his comrades down the river just to make a quick buck. He was broke, so he just figured "Well, I have alot of dirt on alot of people, so I could use it to write a book and get rich again". And then what did he do? He started appearing on reality TV shows trying to parley his re-emergence into the public eye into more money. He's a scumbag, the worst kind of scumbag.

[eddyisawesome43]

@sandro28grizz Amen. Canseco is awful, he's not doing anything for the game, everything he does is for himself, publicity, and the end making money. Whether or not what he says is true, which I personally don't believe all of his allegations (ESPECIALLY not Magglio), Canseco is doing all of this for himself. I can't believe how obvious that is.

[mmelindam]

@eddyisawesome43 You are so right!!! Canseco is a pathetic piece of slime....

[WooDRaTs00]

canseco has made a post-career of media attention

[Michlimania]

Fuck MLB...tell it like it is Jose!!!!!!!

[Michlimania]

How many 250 pound packages have you seen?

Been to prison?

[victorkipp]

He is the only one telling the truth.

[jasontman36]

It only took five years Joser! Hope your writing a new book now. Call it 'I TOLD YOU SO".

[redSOXnation1988]

victor conte is the godfather of steroids ...... along with the "CHEMIST" patrick arnold

[THEHALOHUNTER11]

Mark is on your side now Joser. What took him so long? It must have been the roids.

[arsepoetica71]

Let me start out by saying that I love Jose Canseco for blowing the whistle on steroids in baseball...but I wonder if he would have done all that if he would have hit his 500th home run and been inducted into the hall of fame...

[mastermason79]

He is sill Mr 40/40! 1986 Donruss Rated Rookie #39 is still a legendary card to own.

[MacPr0xnxx0]

so true Jose stand up for what you believe!!

[morgoth195]

Canseco was obviously telling the truth, but why is this shithead so eager to screw his comrades over? Because he's a faggot media-whore who craves attention. He only wrote this book to get some face-time and make some money - and mind you, he was a bottom-feeder who needed money when he "wrote" this book.

He may have told the truth, but he's a bigger scumbag than McGwire, Bonds, or Palmeiro will ever be. He ratted on his partners-in-crime for a paycheck. Think about it.

[allprog]

he ratted them out because they didnt stand up for him when baseball was tryna nix his ass- he still had a couple good yrs in him and he couldnt get a contract

[member5738]

So what? Who cares about Jose Canceso? Atleast now you know those guys are all phonies.

[DAF91788]

Clemens for VP

[bibi4939]

what a cock sucker!

[928matthewgrace]

It Is all A DISGRACE and Selig and the rest of MLB are criminals . to watch the records of Hank Aaron, Ted Williams, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays fall to guys who wouldn't even be in the league without cheating is heart-breaking .. I LOVE this game I hate the cheaters, That means about 90 per cent of the league dirty rotten cheaters...

[steroidsR4losers]

It IS a disgrace to ALL sports!

Stay natural buddy!

[mcd4552]

your a piece of shit and i want you to know that

[wilheim007]

the greats umention would have to be on it to compete nowadays.

[yomamadontfuk]

I hear that Jose Canseco did a gay porn movie on steriods with Peter North.

[Judgingis4losers]

congress should not take away the right of the individual to choose what medications they will take to improve the quality of their lifes!!!!!!

[steroidsR4losers]

You created an account to chase me off youtube. lol!

[kjlinguisticsgeek]

Canseco is the posterboy for the steroid era but most of these players that he has named have tested positive for steroids or some banned substance.

[randyjsing]

Now here we go.

Canseco is right...AGAIN!

Say what you will about Jose, but he keeps telling the truth! Let me tell you how the players could've stuck it to Canseco...they could've TOLD THE TRUTH well before Canseco wanted to start naming names! I don't feel sorry for a single player that tried to deceive the public.

[97carded]

@randyjsing  agree

[darkinsdme2]

@randyjsing It's not about being "right". If you're going to go that route, then letting someone die in your car on the way to the hospital because you're obeying the speed limit is "right." If someone breaks into my house with my 2 year-old daughter in there with me, trying to talk things out with them instead of blowing their appendages off is "right". Is he telling the truth? And about whom is he telling the truth? Might as well say Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth were on steroids.

[randyjsing]

@darkinsdme2 When I said he was "right" again...I was referring to the fact that players were calling him a liar, yet the VERY names he named ended up testing positive after all. That's what I meant. Therefore your hypothetical stories or analogies don't prove anything in regards to refuting my point. I stand by what I said 2 years ago. I'm not a fan of Canseco. I DO find it funny that those who called him a liar are now silent as f***. Crickets...

[darkinsdme2]

@randyjsing I agree that my analogies are a little over the top but still...every now and then...loyalty to your friends and career sometimes supercedes the law. Besides...who says this washed-up, dickless turd is telling the truth about anything? Some of the guys he named in his book were never under suspicion of steroids and were most likely completely innocent. On a jury, if a witness makes false statements about something/someone then their credibility is shot and cannot be trusted.

[darkinsdme2]

And....considering that it is not hurting/affecting public safety, health or well-being...where the fuck does government consider itself to have the authority to invade, investigate and persecute a PRIVATELY-RUN BUSINESS!!!! If government has no dire need for action, and has not contributed one penny to MLB, then it has no right to interfere with it. Besides...this un-respectable faggot is not the Godfather of jack-shit. Piss on this turd and go drop his ass naked into Antarctica.

[randyjsing]

@darkinsdme2 I agree with you concerning the gov't...they needed to stay out of it. MLB needed to deal with this, but that's a totally different story.

[brxazilian]

Kobe + Canseco = 2 Snitches

[MasterKrabs]

kobe? how fill me in

[rawjc]

fuck that, i always been a hugh canseco fan, he did the right thing, if baseball didnt blackball him mybe this whole thing would never hit the serface

[FatPizza56]

Why do people hate this guy? his doing the responsible thing in revealing how corrupt the MLB is...

[narutard999]

People dont like him because he is making money being a rat. Nobody likes a rat. I agree with what he is doing since nobody else is coming out and telling the truth.

[mattgarciatx]

ahahaha he got so pissed about being told he sold his own friends out for a profit!!!  I wonder how jose sleeps at night, what does he feel when he's looking into the mirror??

[hotprofdude]

You're such a fucking dumbass...the truth comes out, and he's badgered for it.

[mattgarciatx]

I'm the dumbass!? I'm not saying he was right or wrong, what I'm saying is he's the one without any friends because he betrayed all his friends. He sold them out. He's making a profit from being a snitch. He's selling books for being a rat. When it comes to baseball, he's a Judas. He sold out the people he called his friends.

[dallassanchez]

to all u haters! JC is the king of the swat and muthafuckas who hate back then would stop and admire his powerful bat killing the ball

[razaa09]

wow he is a complete dick at the end. He needs to learn how to respect.

[louis1152]

i agree 100%

[sellis79]

He's only telling the truth cause he is bitter, broke and jealous.

He wasn't "blowing the whistle" on steroids while he was taking them while playing.

What a tool.

[BillyJack7]

I am glad he did! Watch ESPN classic...the players in the 70s were skinny (like me).

[rolpho]

Rafael lied and Jose is a Moron, tell me something I don't know.

[nadnow]

Right on Jose ....Give 'em hell buddy !!

[Mfresh43]

Canseco is sounding smarter and smarter...

[Mfresh43]

Until he says "They need to respect me, I wont put up with that shit." HAAHAHA ya...respect the godfather of Steroids, right on it Jose

[kaunjer]

Canseco may be trash for naming people, but at the same time it was the only way to make his claims legit. With no names, MLB would "bust" a few more minor league players with little potential to be pros, and be done with it. I hated Canseco at first, but now I at least think he is probably more legit than anyone who has spoken out so far.

[ottvalley]

Palmeiro lyed to congess,he should be held accountable

[deonvan]

Yes it's true.... But imagine if you have a friend that dissed you??? I don't think he's smart for exposing people like that by name.... His friend can turn against him, and they can be dangerous. People who have money can do dangerous thing..

[thetyreed]

somebody should send his ass back to Cuba. FUCK CANSECO. I'm gonna set his 1986 Topps card on fire.

[tonyjoetrejo]

He is so unlikeable, but whether he did it for himself or not, he did the right thing

[cuntrytrash]

I agree 100%, he's a chode but at the same time he is THAT much better than all of those OTHER lying, cheating bastards.

[nalla320]

Canseco has had his troubles, but he has been vindicated. I'm glad that he spoke out. I'm tired of guys breaking records (hello McGwire and Bonds) on the basis of cheating, thus displacing the REAL record holders. Disgraceful.

[steroidsR4losers]

...

[sury166]

canseco and palmeiro are cubans

[atheistasylum]

Canseco is doing the right thing. He's doing the job the lazy elitist sportswriters are afraid to do.

[k122379]

fuck canseco cuban assso

[BXGUY73]

Don't be upset because he DIDN'T GIVE A F--- and told the TRUTH. CANSECO SAVED the sport and exposed it and all the Steroid users. Whatever people say against him, he is CORRECT 100% His word might as well be GOSPEL.

Some jerk in the interview says "you SOLD-out your friends." In other words continue to LIE, be CORRUPT, DECEPTIVE, and condone behavior approved by criminals. Just like the MLB.

[BiteMeVisa]

This guy is the fucking man!!!!! He got hosed by Baseball and blackballed, so he said I'm going to burn this whole fucking place down......burn...burn...burn..­..

[causticBANANA]

Can-Snake-O is nothing short of a self-serving miscreant. But he was right about all those juicing bums.

[googleale]

Fuck you Bitch Rafael Palmeiro did not do Steroids The asshole Talking did.

I hope he burns in Hell!!!!

UGH RAFAEL PALMEIRO DID NOT DO STEROIDS ENGRAVE IT IN YOUR FUCKING HEAD YOU WASTE OF PERSON,Lowlife sucker I hate this asshole

[driverim]

um yea palmero did take banned substance

[AndyPark25]

so i heard this guy is boxing and got his ass kicked lol

[mjlbears34]

What a dickhead this guy is. Even if he is right about the steroid users, his intentions aren't good hear. He is a self serving asswipe.

[3mcsand1dj]

asswipe or not, you don't shoot the messenger.....

[cuntrytrash]

... and all steroid users are equally (if not more) self-serving. If you take steroids it's for 3 things a) inflate your statistics b) get paid more and c) break records.

At any rate, yeah he spoke out for personal gain, but at the same time the people "outted" deserved it and MUCH more.

[pronkking]

geez, I didnt know he was that full of shit.
