I think baseball owes McGwire a gratitude of thanks for putting baseball back on the map where it should be.

I was a professional athlete, the best baseball player in the world at one point.

My motive, and I will make it clear and look you in the eyes, is to attack major league baseball. That's my motive.

Owners, the way they blackballed me from baseball, the way they used me, in a sense, and then the way they wanted to send a signal to the other players, saying, you know, we're going to get Jose Canseco out of the game. This is a cue or a message for you other guys to stop using steroids because the owners lost total control of the steroid use.

I injected him probably twice. But it wasn't like-I mean we would just walk in and-a lot of times they were pill form. A lot of times, you know, you would just-a quick injection of whatever and that's it.

An athlete-an athlete may prepare his needle and may ask another athlete to inject him quickly. And that's the way it works.
