Jose "Can Say So" About A-Roid

Back in December of 2007, more than 80 players were named in one capacity or another in the Mitchell Report, the investigation into steroid use by major league baseball players. But Jose Canseco was certain there would be at least one more name in the document: Alex Rodriguez.

Immediately after the report was released in 2007, Canseco, who was one of the players named by Sen. George Mitchell in the report, told the Fox Business Channel he was surprised not to see A-Rod's name in the report.

"All I can say is the Mitchell Report is incomplete," Canseco said. "I could not believe that (Rodriguez's) name was not in the report."

It turns out that Jose Canseco was right!

Everyone has heard the latest news that Alex Rodriguez admitted taking steroids from 2001-2003. But in an interview back in 2007 on the "CBS Evening News with Katie Couric," he denied every taking steroids and never "had the urge" to take them.

In a Fox interview shortly after the Mitchell report was made public Canseco said of the Mitchell list "It's laughable," "I heard the report, I saw the list of players and there are definitely a lot of players missing. I don't know what they accomplished or what they are trying to prove."
In Canseco's 2005 book, "Juiced," he discussed A-Rod several times, saying the perception that Rodriguez was "the clean boy" was false, pointing to his politically correct personality with reporters as being insincere.

Canseco wrote of Rodriguez: "He's not the saint he's perceived to be. Eventually the media will find something nasty to write about Alex Rodriguez, because trust me, they're looking for it."

Rodriguez has had his share of controversy on and off the field, but he has never been linked to any drug-related issues - not until now!

In late July 2008, Canseco told a Boston radio station that he had "other stuff" on A-Rod, information he would reveal in his next book, "Vindicated," although he wouldn't say whether it was steroid-related.

"Wait and see," Canseco told WEEI.

Well, we don't have to wait any longer. Alex Rodriguez has admitted to taking steroids and apologizes for lying to the American public.

So far, all the allegations Canseco has made about big names using steroids have all came true!

Maybe he should become a politican, we could use some truth there!
