Jose Canseco’s pledgeJose Canseco has made yet another move to out baseball and its doping with the intention on filing a class action lawsuit against Major League Baseball and his claim of “lost wages” and “defamation of character”.

 

Having tested positive for steroids in 2003 he is now being investigated for his Congress testimony in 2005. “Always, one individual has to make that stand, which is me,” Canseco said. “And then I’ll obviously speak to other players and other individuals, see how far they want to go,”specifically referring to players such as Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro.

 

With the feeling that he is being “blackballed”by the MLB because of his admitted steroid use it has caused lost opportunities for the retired player and stating, “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 the Hall of Fame.”

 

At this point there is no information on how likely this type of suit is to have any merit but Jose’s words hint at just how sincere he is about pursuing this.

 

“I don’t see why people just don’t get it. I don’t understand the ignorance,” he said. “Listen: It was allowed by Major League Baseball. It was endorsed by Major League Baseball. Why should the players be now reprimanded?”

    “I don’t recommend steroids for everyone and I don’t recommend growth hormones for everyone,” Canseco tells Mike Wallace. “But for certain individuals, I truly believe, because I’ve experimented with it for so many years, that it can make an average athlete a super athlete. It can make a super athlete incredible. Just legendary.”
