Daily Dykstra: ‘I Was on Streroids Too’

The ugly claims made against Lenny Dykstra yesterday just grew uglier. Not only was Dykstra allegedly selling access to CNBC stock picker Jim Cramer and getting paid to pump stocks on TheStreet.com, but, according to a new accusation, he was — along with Jose Canseco — a trailblazer in taking performance enhancing drugs.

The news comes from The Zeroes, a new book released today by Daily Beast writer Randall Lane.

Here’s the excerpt:

“You know,” Lenny finally said, breaking the ice, “I was like a pioneer for that stuff.”

“Excuse me, Lenny?”

“The juice. I was like the very first to do that. Me and [José] Canseco.”

He straightened up, as he prepared, somewhat proudly, to reveal his role in this dangerous, unseemly history.
