Bush & Steroids

Former baseball star Jose Canseco names some big stars & former stars as steroid users in his soon to be released book, according to today's NY Daily News. Canseco not only names big name ball players as steroids users, but also claims that George W. Bush must have known that members of the Texas Rangers were using them during the time he was the team's owner.

The only comment the News has from the White House is that the "President's position on steroids has been clear for some time". Hardly a firm denial.

No, I don't think it's a great scandal, but it is a curiosity at least. I wonder if he did know, whether not disclosing this at the time of the sale of the team he would be technically in breach of any contractual arrangements.
