It's a strange path to vindication for admitted steroid user Jose Canseco
[SIZE=-1]New York Daily News[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]By Christian Red. But when contacted by the Daily News the day the SI.com story broke, Canseco blurted a no comment and abruptly hung up. Getting a quote from Canseco has been harder than finding a Bernie Madoff ally. Even Canseco's attorney Greg Emerson has made few public comments except to hint in one published report that his client may have a third book in the works, although it's tough to think who could top A-Rod as far as steroid scandals go.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]In years past, whenever I've called Canseco for a comment on a story, more often than not, he's responded with some form of, "What's in it financially for me?"[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]When A&E aired a documentary on Canseco last fall, it revealed a financially-strapped, even contrite Canseco, a washed-up slugger who was worried about the harmful effects from years of steroid use and who was sorry for writing "Juiced." In the last six months, Canseco's been busted at the Mexican border for trying to smuggle a fertility drug into the U.S. and has taken a second crack at boxing.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]In what many would view as a sure sign of the Apocalypse, Canseco went three, one-minute rounds with "Partridge Family" star Danny Bonaduce in rural southeast Pennsylvania Jan. 24. Canseco fought to a draw, even though Bonaduce weighs 80 pounds less and is a foot shorter. For good measure that night, Canseco kicked me out of his dressing room when his girlfriend said I had written "negative stories" about her man.[/SIZE]
