Jose Canseco Pleads Guilty to Misdemeanor Drug Smuggling Charge
[November 6th, 2008] by Millard Baker
Former MLB baseball star Jose Canseco pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges related to smuggling 6 vials of HCG across the U.S - Mexico border. He was sentenced to 12 months unsupervised probation. Jose Canseco has reported that his natural testosterone levels have been suppressed after using anabolic steroids for over two decades. He told the judge that he was simply attempting to restore his endogenous hormone production by obtaining HCG from Mexico (”Canseco apologizes, gets probation for drug charge,” November 5).
On Tuesday, Canseco said a gel he was using to try to restore his testosterone level wasn’t working, so he went to a Tijuana pharmacy seeking something better.
“I didn’t go down there looking for steroids,” Canseco said while seated on a bench outside the courtroom with his girlfriend, who gave only her first name, Heidi. “I needed something to help me get my own levels back to normal, just to get me to, you know, normal working conditions, I guess.
“Well, when you have no testosterone level, you’re depressed, you lose muscle mass, no sex drive, no libido, you have nothing,” he added. “You’re kind of like tired, depressed all the time. You just don’t want to do anything.”
Jose Canseco will hopefully find effective medical treatment for his anabolic steroid induced hypogonadism.
