"Canseco, in New Book, Says He Introduced Rodriguez to Steroids Supplier." So reads the headline in today's New York Times. It goes on to state...
Although Canseco said that he did not see Rodriguez “do the deed,” he said that he hooked Rodriguez up with Max and “did everything but inject the guy myself.” Canseco has acknowledged that he despises Rodriguez, and he said he did not include Rodriguez in his first book because he worried that people would question his motives.Right. So here we go again. I find it fascinating to note Canseco has the chutzpah to title his new book "Vindicated."

Was Canseco found wrong about anything in his first book? No. Thus "Vindicated" after everyone said he was a liar.
chutzpah n. slang. From Yiddish; origin aramaic huspa . Shameless audacity, gall.
Yeah, I think "shameless audacity" is a pretty good definition for Canseco's writing at this point. This is a guy who is seriously advocating the use of steroids. Apparently he was hired to be a spokesperson at the Arnold Classic and had a less than pleasant reception...
He may have been right, but I think that when you're proven right, it's highly undignified to flaunt it by cranking out another book. I just don't want to hear any more from him. Unfair? Perhaps. But it's not helpful.
