    Doping in baseball

    Use of performance enhancing drugs, commonly steroids, amongst baseball players

    Doping in baseball has been an ongoing issue for Major League Baseball (MLB). After repeated use by some of the most successful professional baseball players in MLB history, these banned substances found their way to the collegiate level. At the junior college level, due to lack of funding and NCAA drug testing, the abuse of PEDs is most common, but they are also an issue in Division I, II and III.

    Several players have suggested that drug use is rampant in baseball. In 2003 David Wells stated that "25 to 40 percent of all Major Leaguers are juiced".[1]Jose Canseco stated on 60 Minutes and in his 2005 tell-all book Juiced that as many as 80% of players used steroids, and that he credited steroid use for his entire career.[2]Ken Caminiti revealed that he won the 1996National LeagueMVP award while on steroids.[3] In February 2009, after reports em

    When Correspondent Mike Wallace first reported this story in February, former slugger Jose Canseco - variously called "The Bad Boy of Baseball" or "The Godfather of Steroids" - was about to release his book, "Juiced," an account of his use of anabolic steroids and human growth hormone.

    Canseco's new message: Told ya!

    It was Jose Canseco's new book, "Juiced," that in part prompted members of the House Committee on Government Reform to call a panel of past and present baseball players and league executives to Capitol Hill last March.

    Yet Canseco, a veteran of 17 seasons in the majors, hardly was thanked for bringing the issue to light. Rather, while he awaited his vända to testify, he was isolated from the other players in a separate room. And when he appeared before the House panel, Sammy Sosa's lawyer was seated between Canseco and the other players. It was as if Canseco were contagious.

But it might not have been any more comfortable for Canseco had he been seated among them. In his book, Canseco alleges that he personally put steroids into the bodies of two of his fellow panelists, Mark McGwire and Rafael
