Jose Canseco gets probation


Jose Canseco made his appearance in court yesterday for smuggling Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) from Mexico. Canseco, long time user/abuser of anabolic steroids, HGH, and other drugs, now suffers from steroid withdrawal, or testicular shutdown. He was attempting to smuggle in HCG from Mexico, apparently to boost his testosterone levels. Canseco was using a topical gel prescribed by a doctor but was unhappy with how slowly his testosterone levels were increasing. So he did what he has always done, looked for a shortcut.

The result of his shortcut; 10 months of unsupervised probation after pleading guilty to a federal misdemeanor charge of bringing mislabeled vials of a performance-enhancing drug into the United States from Mexico. Canseco, 44, was detained Oct. 9 at the San Ysidro border crossing when agents found six vials of human chorionic gonadotropin, labeled in Spanish, in his car. Canseco had no prescription for the drug or instructions for its use.
He told Magistrate Judge Ruben Brooks that he made a mistake by not declaring to border agents that he had the vials. Human chorionic gonadotropin boosts testosterone in males.
Like a bad cough or a bad habit Jose will not go away, and 10 months is a long time for him to try to stay out of trouble.
