Canseco regrets part in baseball’s steroid storm

FORMER slugger Jose Canseco has expressed regret over his involvement in baseball’s steroids controversy.

The former American League MVP admitted he regretted “mentioning players (as steroids users)” in his book “Juiced”, which was published in 2005 and ultimately resulted in a congressional hearing on doping in the sport.

“I never realised this was going to blow up and hurt so many people,” Canseco said. The 44-year-old revealed that he wrote the book because he wanted to get even with Major League Baseball, which he believed had him “forced out of the game”.
