Did I put them in contact with the people to acquire them? Yes. Did I educate them on how to use them properly, and what way, shape, or form, and when, and with what supplements? Yes. Absolutely.
They're taking decent steps. They're going to get rid of steroids little by little. The answer is not having Bud Selig do his own private witch hunt.
Spend a Day with Canseco on the Hill.
I'm completely impressed by how many people he knows,
I don't know if I'm directly trying to take on the whole baseball establishment. I'm just basically telling a story of my life.
I injected him probably twice. But it wasn't like-I mean we would just walk in and-a lot of times they were pill form. A lot of times, you know, you would just-a quick injection of whatever and that's it.
I cannot bet my life on it, because I was not involved, that Alex Rodriguez ever used steroids. But in my opinion, I suspect he has, yes.
If I signed it that is the way it really happened. I don't know of any individuals who are saying anything different. I have no idea what is going on with that.
Do I believe steroids and growth hormones helped me achieve that? Yes. Were there a lot of other players doing it that I had to compete against? Yes.
An athlete-an athlete may prepare his needle and may ask another athlete to inject him quickly. And that's the way it works.
I get criticized for anything I do.
The national pastime is juiced,
Time travel is possible. Will explain later
The truth is, no one wants to face the fact that there was a huge double standard in baseball, and white athletes like Mark McGwire, Cal Ripken Jr., and Brady Anderson were protected and coddled in a way that an outspoken Latino like me never would be. The light-eyed and white-skinned were declared household names. Canseco the Cuban was left out in the cold, where racism and double standards rule.
