Jose Canseco Busted with Anti Nut-Shrinkers

Posted Oct 10th 2008 6:54PM by TMZ Staff

Baseball's most famous 'roid monger, Jose Canseco, spent more than 9 hours in federal custody yesterday after U.S. border agents caught him allegedly smuggling HCG -- a hormone commonly used to reverse the shrinking effects of jock juice.

According to Canseco's attorney, Jose was on his way back from Mexico, when he was stopped at a San Diego checkpoint and randomly searched. Canseco's lawyer claims feds uncovered a "small amount" of a hormone called HCG. FYI -- the hormone can be legally acquired in the U.S. with a proper prescription.

After Canseco and an unidentified passenger spent more than 9 hours in custody, the 44-year-old gave permission for agents to search his Los Angeles home. We're told the sweep turned up nothing.

Canseco is due in federal court in on Tuesday to face a smuggling violation.

16. To you haters out there, wake up mccain is too old and palin is just another pretty face. If mccain wins we will go to war again. And for all of you who have never served or have family that served shut up. Go to navy medical center and walter reed army medical and look at the carnage of our troops. Then think about who was the architects of the war, then think about who runs all of these finacial companies that have crashed and the goverment is bailing out. They have something in common, now do your homework and open your mind and see the truth.

17. Hello Kitty, People hate on Canseco because he fell from grace. He was a great player and then told everyone it wasn't natural, that he'd faked it.
Still, he isn't hated as much as Clemens because Canseco came out and admitted it and Clemens is still trying to pretend he's clean (or at least he was last time anyone heard from him).

18. That's not true. People hate Canseco because he wasn't talented enough to play ball without the roids and when no other team wanted him, he bitched about it and ratted out everyone.

20. to Baseball Junkie: Sorry but he was a very good player when he was young. It wasn't until he was older that he started juicing.
Clemens was a great pitcher when he was young but you can see exactly when he started juicing by his record. And don't lets get started on Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire. Near the end of his career (not long before he stated sleeping with Madonna) he became a joke whether he was juicing or not. He ended up playing for some semi-pro teams but he didn't write the book until much later. Try getting your facts straight before you come on here and try arguing baseball with me.

21. To poster of #5 and 6, JOSH BROLIN IS "W"! THIS TUESDAY OCTOBER 14TH.
Watch it and learn you ding a ling.

Conseco must still be on steroids if he needs anti ball shrinkers. They probably didn't find anything at his home since he was in TJ making his next purchases. He still is kind of big...except "down there"...if ya know what I mean.

23. this just goes to show the ignorance of people. people write things and make comments on things they know nothing about. HCG is used to help the body start producing testosterone on it's own again after long term steroid use.
