Canseco underwent the polygraph exam today in an effort to clear his name and did admit to TMZ that he had sex with the woman, but claims it was consensual.
Former star slugger Jose Canseco is being investigated by police after a woman accused him of sexual assault.Baseball’s confessed steroid cheat broke the story himself Wednesday — tweeting about it, and even including his accuser’s name and workplace.
Canseco, 48, who smacked 462 home runs in his career and blew the lid off baseball’s steroid culture with his 2005 tell-all “Juiced,” tweeted that he was “charged with rape.” He said Las Vegas cops had been to his home.
