An entry in the NY Daily News‘ “Subway Squawkers” blog connects the dots between Roger Clemens and Jose Canseco through excerpts from Juiced.
As this evidence has not yet been released to the public, I don’t yet know how damning this is. What I do know is what Canseco wrote about Clemens in his book, “Juiced.” And one wonders why Clemens’ attorneys would bring up Jose in the first place, given what the player wrote about Roger – and so-called “B12 shots” – in his book. To put it mildly, Jose (and “Juiced”) doesn’t exactly help their case.
The writers — Lisa Swan and Jon Lewin — go on to give examples such as this one:
Check this out – Canseco writes on page 211 of the hardcover edition of “Juiced” about how steroid use was so “open” in the locker room that:
“…the trainers would jokingly call the steroid injections ‘B12 shots,’ and soon the players had picked up on that little code name, too. You’d hear them saying it out loud in front of each other, ‘I need to go in and get a B12 shot,’ a player would say, and everybody would laugh.”
Canseco then described what was really in the so-called ‘B12 shot’: “a combination of steroids – in most cases Deca and some form of testosterone.”
Etc.
