Baseball BASEBALL NOTES Canseco has strong opinions on steroid issue By Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff, 11/23/2003 Jose Canseco doesn't believe the recent claims of Major League Baseball that only 5-7 percent of all big leaguers tested positive for steroids. ADVERTISEMENT The first prominent ex-player to charge baseball with rampant steroid use, Canseco isn't backing down after several months ago claiming around 80 percent of major leaguers were taking steroids. "I just want to know how [the tests] were performed. If it was done randomly, on a schedule? How was it structured? Who administered it? I don't believe it. I don't think it was accurate," Canseco said from Miami, where he's under house arrest until March. "I think those tests can be completely manipulated." The 39-year-old Cuban-born former slugger said he will tell his life story in a book he hopes will come out in the not-too-distant future, which will detail steroid use in baseball and likely name names. | |
