Jose Canseco has hit a roadblock in his effort to write a sequel to his best-selling steroids tell-all book. Co-author Don Yaeger, a Sports Illustrated veteran, has quit the project, according to a report in the New York Daily News.

The book already has a publisher and was to be titled "Vindicated", but Yaeger decided to pass on the project over what he said was a lack of content to work with.

According to the report, Yaeger said Canseco does not have the goods on Yankees star Alex Rodriguez that was hinted at in an earlier interview.

"I'm passing," Yaeger told the Daily News. "I had a chance to review the Jose Canseco (material) that he provided me. I don't think there's a book there. I don't know what they're going to do. I don't think he's got what he claims to have, certainly doesn't have what he claims to have on A-Rod.

"There's no meat on the bones."

Canseco's lawyer, Robert Saunooke, told the newspaper that the book would move forward regardless.

"I'm not sweating it if Don passes," Saunooke said in an interview with the Daily News. "We had some terms of the contract concerning movie rights that we had to address which pushed the manuscript date back. But we're still moving forward."

After the Mitchell report was released in mid-December, Canseco had said he was surprised Rodriguez was not named in the report.

"All I can say is the Mitchell Report is incomplete," Canseco told the Fox Business Network at the time. "I could not believe that (Rodriguez's) name was not in the report."

Yaeger said he was not provided with any material that implicated Rodriguez.

"The thing is, if he had all this material, why wasn't it in the first book?" Yaeger told the newspaper.
