Former player Jose Canseco raises his hand to be sworn in for testimony before Congress on March 17, 2005, during an investigation into the use of steroids in baseball.

Jose Canseco said he is not surprised by the report that David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez are on the 2003 list of performance-enhancing drug users, but added that he knows of one Hall of Famer who has used drugs but as of yet is unidentified, ESPN said Thursday.

"When you tell me something I didn't already know, I'll be surprised,'' Canseco told ESPN. "And I'll tell you this, Major League Baseball is going to have a big, big problem on their hands when they find out they have a Hall of Famer who's used.

When asked to name the player, , Canseco refused.

"It's not about naming names,'' he said. "I've never had anything against the players. It's always been against Major League Baseball. I know who's on that list, but like I said, it's not about attacking the players. It's about the machine that allowed this to happen. What I speak out of my mouth is the truth. It burns like fire. Just remember, I have never lied about this subject."

Canseco's book "Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'roids and Smash Hits and How Baseball Got Big" helped spark a massive investigation into the use of PEDs in baseball.

"If you were in the game in the last 20 years, there's a 95 percent chance you were knowingly using something,'' Canseco said. "I said 80 percent back then (in the book) because that was the number of players that I knew were on. But that number was greater.''

Canseco admitted using PEDs in his 17-year career, during which he hit 462 home runs.

"If the players turn on Major League Baseball, it's going to get far worse and ugly,'' he told ESPN. "They created this mess because they couldn't control the list of 104. Baseball could be looking at a major class-action lawsuit if the players decide to band together. This list was supposed to be confidential. We're seeing that, like Watergate, the cover-up always blows up in your face. It may take five, 10, 15 years, but the forensic files always seem to surface. Again, tell me if I've ever lied when it comes to this?"
