In October 2001, Canseco and his brother, Ozzie, got into a fight with two men at a [[Miami Beach]] nightclub that left one man with a broken nose and another needing 20 stitches in his lip; both were charged with two counts of aggravated battery. The brothers both pleaded guilty and received both probation and community service.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/baseball/canseco-twins-plead-guilty-to-felony-1.321770 |title=Canseco twins plead guilty to felony|date=November 6, 2002|work=[[CBC Sports]]|access-date=January 3, 2016}}</ref>

Following his retirement in May 2002, Canseco speculated about having been "blackballed" from [[Major League Baseball]]; it was then he announced he was writing a tell-all book about his baseball career and the increasing usage of [[anabolic steroids]] in baseball.

In March 2003, Canseco missed a court appearance while in California working out a custody dispute over his 6-year-old child. The judge revoked his probation and sentenced him to two years under house arrest followed by three years' probation.<ref>{{cite news|title=Alleged probation violation may land Canseco in prison |first=Harriet |last=Ryan |date=July 21, 2003 |url=https://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/07/21/ctv.canseco/index.html |work=CNN |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120121142727/http://articles.cnn.com/2003-07-21/justice/ctv.canseco_1_alan-cheeks-probation-routine-drug-test?_s=PM%3ALAW |archive-date=January 21, 2012}}</ref>

On October 10, 2008, Canseco was detained by immigration officials at a San Diego border crossing as he tried to bring a fertility drug from Mexico. He stated the drug was to help with his hormone replacement therapy, needed due to his use of steroids.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20081011-9999-1m11canseco.html|title=Jose Canseco detained at border, later released|first=Pauline |last=Repard |date=October 11, 2008 |agency=Associated Press |work=[[The San Diego Union-Tribune]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081031220740/http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20081011-9999-1m11canseco.html |archive-date=October 31, 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> On November 4, 2008, Canseco pleaded guilty in Federal court and was sentenced to 12 months' unsupervised probation by U.S. Magistrate Judge Ruben B.

The 2008 [[A&E Network]] documentary ''Jose Canseco: Last Shot'' chronicles Canseco's attempts to end his steroid use. In it, he also regrets ever writing his tell-all books and naming former teammates as steroid users, as he was never given the opportunity to participate in MLB-affiliated baseball events. Since then, he has tried unsuccessfully to reach out to former Bash Brother Mark McGwire and other ex-teammates.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aetv.com/listings/episode_details.do?episodeid=369154&airingid=369254|title=Jose Canseco: Last Shot®|work=[[A&E (TV network)|A&E]]|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110526220052/http://www.aetv.com/listings/episode_details.do?episodeid=369154&airingid=369254|archive-date=May 26, 2011|df=mdy-all}}</ref> In 2014, he returned to the Oakland Coliseum to take part in the reunion celebrating the 25th anniversary of the 1989 World Series championship team; this marked the first time Canseco took part in an official Major League Baseball event in almost 13 years. Mark McGwire, at the time coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers, did not attend the event.

On May 22, 2013, Canseco was named as a suspect in a rape allegation in Las Vegas. He broke the news himself on [[Twitter]], denying the allegations by posting pictures and information about his accuser, and accusing her of lying. On June 7, 2013, the case against Canseco was closed following an investigation, and he was not charged.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/22/jose-canseco-rape-tweets-las-vegas-charged_n_3320952.html|title=Jose Canseco Tweets That He Has Been Charged With Rape: Las Vegas Police Say He Is Suspect In Sexual Assault Investigation |work=Huffington Post |agency=Associated Press |date=May 22, 2013 |access-date=September 13, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200927234728/https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jose-canseco-rape-tweets-las-vegas-charged_n_3320952 |archive-date=September 27, 2020 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Trotter |first=J.
