Police find illegal anabolic steroid in Canseco's car

Associated Press

PUNTA GORDA, Fla. -- Jose Canseco's twin brother, Ozzie, was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia after police found an illegal anabolic steroid in his car during a traffic stop.

Ozzie Canseco was also charged with driving with a revoked license after he was stopped Thursday because the windows of his car were illegally tinted, Charlotte County sheriff's spokesman Bob Carpenter said.

Canseco consented to a search during which the steroid Nandrolone and a syringe were found, Carpenter said.

Jose Canseco, under house arrest for his part in the nightclub brawl in 2001, admitted last year that he used steroids during his baseball career.

Ozzie Canseco, released from jail after posting a $25,000 bond Friday, is on probation for his role in the 2001 nightclub brawl.

The Miami-Dade prosecutor's office did not immediately return a call Friday to detail how Thursday's arrest would affect Ozzie Canseco's probation.

Ozzie Canseco played briefly for the Oakland A's and St. Louis Cardinals in the early 1990s, hitting .200 with no homers in 24 games over three seasons. He had a lengthy minor league career and played in Japan.
