Canseco reminds me of O.J. Simpson.  While Canseco never allegedly killed anyone, he has become a media spectacle with his books about steroid usage in baseball.  Canseco had two choices if he had this information: 1. Go to Bud Selig and George Mitchell and state that he had information about Alex Rodriguez and Magglio Ordonez, or 2. Write a book defaming two stars of the game who are, thus far, without reproach concerning steroids and make money off of creating scandal.  It doesn't surprise me in this era of entertainment, with the paparazzi getting hundreds and thousands of dollars for pictures of celebrities in not-so-flattering situations.  But to take this steroid buzz for a ride is sad.  Jose Canseco is an attention-seeking personality, and he needs the spotlight to survive.  Much like a lizard needs a heat lamp, Canseco needs the bright lights of TV cameras and media attention to make him happy.  In any event, Canseco did this purely for monetary gain and he has indeed gone too far.
