Why has no one asked Andy P if Roger used steroids. I know he will tell the
truth under oath. I hope Roger is not lying because he will be in a whole lot of trouble.

Who is to say that this situation for Roger Clemens could not end up the same way as the Duke LaCross team? I was shocked to see the public opinion poll on the SI website that showed 71% who responded felt that Roger Clemens had indeed abused steroids. Only 21% believed he was innocent.
I do not think he abused steroids and I think this McNamee person is suspect. How dare we convict someone without evidence. I am with you Jack I think it says a lot that Roger Clemens is willing to testify in front of congres WITHOUT immunity.

Clemens lawyers are probably under the conclusion that no further evidence will be admitted to prove that he did steroids. If that’s the case then what he says doesn’t matter because it becomes a matter of OPINION. “He says she says.”

The public is tired of multi-million dollar athletes taking the 5th, refusing to talk to investigators, saying they don’t know what trainers are putting in their bodies or that the clear fluid given to them by their trainer was just flax seed oil. All of that is B.S. Those with nothing to hide and nothing to fear cooperate. Every athlete knows EXACTLY was is being given to them. This is their livelihood. Do you think they would simply put their blind faith in a trainer doing anything to them? This game of “Im a superstar but I’m too stupid to ask what someone is giving me” is absurd. We heard it for too long by the likes of Marion Jones, Barry Bonds and now Clemens. All follow the script until one day they get caught. If the baseball players union is really that sure that players are clean then they wouldn’t have fought the league against allowing HGH testing or any other kind of testing. Clemens better have more than simply his testimony and his now supposed willingness to go before congress (he could have done this a long time ago) to make the public believe otherwise.

And when the writer states there is only one “unsubstantiated” claim…, are you actually saying that George J. Mitchell, a senator/lawyer/district judge (amongst other notable accomplishments) would simply just take an unsubstantiated claim and write pages upon pages of conclusions about Clemens? And yet your being impressed by Clemens’ willingness to go before Congress leads you to believe that Clemens was never a HGH user? Is the writer really that naive?

Let them all fry. Frankly it’s about time.

When it is Proven that he did in fact use steroids I will give Roger the benifit if the doubt. Has anybody proven that Connie Mack used steroids?

If Roger Clemens did not use steroids then he should have no problem taking a lie detector test. I feel this may be the ONLY way to clear his name. If he refuses the tenst then he is guilty. Roger, why don’t you step up to the plate and take the polygraph if you have nothing to hide?? I’m sure your trainer will have no objection to doing the same.

If you were accused of a crime you didn’t commit how would you defend yourself? Especially if the case was a “he said, he said” case? I hope Roger didn’t do it, but how can anybody say of course he did simply from one person’s allegations? Sad commentary about the country if we now presume people are guilty.

I agree 100% with your view.

This is not a court of law. I feel he is a user because I choose to believe
the trainer. I see no reasonable way the trainer would pick on his friend
if it were not true.
If this were a court of law, then I would simply grant Clemens his rights
under the law.
Now to change my opinion of him, he can take the LIE DETECTOR TEST
and convince me.

I remember that opinions are what has crucified Barry Bonds in the public arena. We were so eager to believe he was guilty we believed stories from a scorned ex-girlfriend and others, that we happily accepted and declared an asterix to his achievements. I dont care one way or another but I think the same situation is where Roger Clemens finds himself now. We either believe they both are guilty or both innocent but in my eyes you cant ‘convict’ Bonds and let Clemens slide.

Why dont they just let the case go, they’ve put too much time and effort into this case. Everyone knows that Clemens hasn’t done anything that i think is illegal back then. But now there judging it as if it were the 90’s. He confessed to B12 to help his healing process but not anything to maxamize his throwing ability.
