US Customs detained former MLB All-Star, Ex-Oakland Athletics Bash Brother Jose Canseco for hours yesterday at the US-Mexico border. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) was found in Canseco's car (or was it his train wreck?). To the San Diego Tribune:
Former baseball star Jose Canseco was detained by immigration officials at a San Diego border crossing as he tried to bring a fertility drug from Mexico, authorities and his lawyer said yesterday.
Canseco was issued a notice to appear in federal court “relative to a smuggling violation,” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Lauren Mack said.
“It's a discretion we have, to issue a notice to appear rather than make an arrest when a smaller volume of items are being smuggled,” Mack said.
Mack said no charges have been filed against Canseco, who was given the notice to appear and released Thursday night. She declined to elaborate on the allegation.
Canseco, a former major league All-Star slugger, was held for nearly 10 hours at the San Ysidro border crossing, said his Los Angeles attorney, Gregory S. Emerson, according to The Associated Press.
The AP reported that immigration agents said they searched Canseco's car and found human chorionic gonadotropin, which is illegal without a prescription.
HCG is a 'fertility drug' in females however can be used as gonadal support in males how use anabolic steroids. An anabolic steroid - like Winstrol - will reduce male out put of testosterone thus shrinking the testicular size and even causing infertility. HCG will be used to increase natural testosterone until the normal physiology catches up with T production.
Agents then searched Canseco's home (apparently one that wasn't repossessed) in LA. Wonder if
Officials released Canseco after he agreed to allow ICE agents to search his Los Angeles-area home, the AP reported Emerson as saying. About 10 ICE agents searched the
home in the attorney's presence yesterday as Canseco was returning from San Diego.
“They found nothing. They took nothing,” Emerson said.
Mack said Canseco is to appear in San Diego's federal court Tuesday. Canseco has admitted using steroids during his baseball career. In his 2005 best-selling book, “Juiced,” he not only told of his own use of performance-enhancing drugs, but also claimed up to 85 percent of major leaguers used steroids. Also in 2005, Canseco testified at a congressional hearing about drugs in baseball, and said “steroids (in the game) were as prevalent in the late 1980s and 1990s as a cup of coffee.”
Perhaps Canseco was in Mexico to help out former teammate Rusty Tillman?
The Hoover Dam helped increase the population, as did its connections to Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. Overcoming early legal glitches, today it has become one of the most visited places in the United States.

I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good artical, but what can I say is that I procrastinate a lot and never seem to get something done.
