Steroid Era: Juan Gonzalez


Juan Gonzalez was one of the players named as a steroid user in Jose Canseco's book Juiced. Canseco claims that he showed Juan Gonzalez how to use steroids, and purchased steroids and HGH for him.

In 2001 Juan Gonzalez' trainer, Angel Presinal was linked to an unmarked bag containing anabolic steroids at the Toronto airport, which came off a come off a Cleveland Indians charter flight. When questioned, he told the police that the bag belonged to Juan Gonzalez.

Angel Presinal was banned from private areas of every MLB ballpark after the event, and his name has once again surfaced during the ARod steroid scandal.
