This may be a new low for Jose Canseco, yes I realize who I am talking about, and yes it's a new low for him. According to the San Diego Times, Canseco was "detained" at the US/Mexico border because he was trying to smuggle Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). What is HGC you ask, it's a 'fertility drug' in females however can be used as gonadal support in males how use anabolic steroids. An anabolic steroid - like Winstrol - will reduce male output of testosterone thus shrinking the testicular size and even causing infertility. HCG will be used to increase natural testosterone until the normal physiology catches up with T production (info from Steroid Nation) He has to take another performance enhancing drug to offset the effects of the performance enhancing steroids he has taken for years.
But the feds weren't done with Mr. Canseco, they decided to also search his house, where according to his attorney they didn't find anything. How does he have enough money to afford an attorney? or the drugs he's smuggling? Is this the end for Jose? Probably not, like OJ, he'll be a trainwreck we'll watch for a few more years.
From the San Diego Times:
Former baseball star Jose Canseco was detained by immigration officials at a San Diego border crossing as he tried to bring a fertility drug from Mexico, authorities and his lawyer said yesterday. Canseco was issued a notice to appear in federal court “relative to a smuggling violation,” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Lauren Mack said.
“It's a discretion we have, to issue a notice to appear rather than make an arrest when a smaller volume of items are being smuggled,” Mack said.
Mack said no charges have been filed against Canseco, who was given the notice to appear and released Thursday night. She declined to elaborate on the allegation.
Canseco, a former major league All-Star slugger, was held for nearly 10 hours at the San Ysidro border crossing, said his Los Angeles attorney, Gregory S. Emerson, according to The Associated Press.
The AP reported that immigration agents said they searched Canseco's car and found human chorionic gonadotropin, which is illegal without a prescription. Emerson declined to say if Canseco was carrying the drug, which is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency for use in men. The drug helps restore production of testosterone lost in steroid users. Officials released Canseco after he agreed to allow ICE agents to search his Los Angeles-area home, the AP reported Emerson as saying. About 10 ICE agents searched the home in the attorney's presence yesterday as Canseco was returning from San Diego.
“They found nothing. They took nothing,” Emerson said.
Mack said Canseco is to appear in San Diego's federal court Tuesday.

When in the spotlight the easier thing t do is lay low or bask in it. The last thing you should do is something that requests more light. Constinkho is at it again and he said on several occasions that he injected people, my question has been, why has he not served time since it is illegal to administer these drugs without proprer credentials. But only time will tell if he is jailed.
I doubt he'll be prosecuted for the guys he injected, baseball does not want to draw any more attention to the "steroid era" As much as I think he deserves to do some time, I'm afraid he'll just write another book about his time in jail and make even more money.
he's a douche & he wouldn't box me, so he's a p*ssy too HA!
