NEW YORK (CBS SPORTS) - Major-league headache Jose Canseco is back in the news. This time, the 47-year-old former slugger is trying to make a comeback in the Mexican League, and has reportedly been busted for a banned substance. So, he’s out of the league now. Yes, I’m shocked, too.

Of course, Canseco took to the Twitterverse to plead his innocence — or, really, it was more his “non-guilt.”

“How can I test positive when I never took any test don’t believe everything the media tells you.the truth always comes out I am not using any illegal substance,” he tweeted.
