"Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits, and How Baseball Got Big" ist ein kontroverses Buch von Jose Canseco, einem ehemaligen Major League Baseball-Spieler. In diesem autobiografischen Werk gibt Canseco einen Einblick in die Welt des professionellen Baseballs und enthüllt den weit verbreiteten Gebrauch von leistungssteigernden Drogen wie Anabolika und Steroiden unter den Spielern. Er beschreibt seine eigene Karriere und seinen persönlichen Gebrauch dieser Substanzen, um seine Leistung zu steigern. Darüber hinaus wirft er einen kritischen Blick auf die Kultur des Sports, die seiner Meinung nach den Einsatz solcher Mittel gefördert hat. Das Buch löste bei seiner Veröffentlichung hitzige Debatten aus und trug maßgeblich zur öffentlichen Diskussion über Doping im Baseball bei.

Touted as a Ball Four for the new millennium, Jose Canseco's Juiced promises to expose not only the rampant use of performance-enhancing substances in baseball (with steroids replacing the amphetamines of Bouton's day), but the painfully human flaws of its heroes as well. A steroid devotee since the age of 20, Canseco goes beyond admitting his own usage to claim that with the tacit approval of the league's powers-that-be he acted as baseball's ambassador of steroids and is therefore indirectly responsible for "saving" the game. Chief among his claims is that he introduced Mark McGwire to steroids in 1988 and that he often injected McGwire while they were teammates. According to Canseco, steroids and human growth hormones gave McGwire and Sammy Sosa (whose own usage was "so obvious, it was a joke") the strength, stamina, regenerative ability, and confidence they needed for a record-setting home run duel often credited with restoring baseball's popularity after the 1994 strike. Although he devotes a lot of ink to McGwire, Canseco envisions himself as a kind of Johnny Steroidseed, spreading the gospel of performance enhancement, naming a number of players that he either personally introduced to steroids or is relatively certain he can identify as fellow users. Because Canseco plays fast and loose with some of the facts of his own career he provides fodder for those looking to damage his credibility, but in many ways questions of public and personal perception are what raise the book beyond mere vitriolic tell-all. Those willing to heed his request and truly listen to what he has to say will find Juiced to be an occasionally insightful meditation on the workings of public perception and a consistently interesting character study. --Shane Farmer
