Roger Clemens Interview on ESPN2

[Markos]

I like its funny that people get so upset about professional athletes using steroids.

Did you ever cheat on a test in high school? Did you ever cheat on an ex girlfriend? If there were some ''drug'' that could help you do your job better and double your income would you think about taking it?

We're not all perfect and if you answered no to all three of the above questions than please become a priest or something.

Wow....

1) Steroids are not safe, illegal, and a black mark on sports around the world. There are no doubt young baseball players who started using this in order to get ahead because baseball turned a blind eye towards it.

2) It ruins the integrity of the game. From personal experience as a person living abroad, when I try to explain baseball, the first thing people bring up is steroids and how "everyone" uses it. I'd rather have people not know anything about baseball, than associate it with cheating.

Why won't Clemens take a lie detector test?

I was talking to my mom about this yesterday, and she said that in his 60 Minutes interview he said he would.

They played the whole thing during the 5:00 SportsCenter. I think you live in Toronto so maybe check TSN.

Here's the end of his press conference:

Go to ESPN.com and I am sure they will have a video of it.

Oh I found the 50 minute conference on mlb.com, thanks.

Anyone here actually believe Clemens?

You're a moron if you think he is innocent.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- Detectives believed the former New York Yankees trainer who says he injected Roger Clemens with steroids lied to them during the 2001 investigation of a possible rape, according to documents released Tuesday by police.

Police said Brian McNamee denied having sex with a possibly drugged woman in a hotel pool, even though security guards and other witnesses said they saw him.

McNamee hired a New York attorney, who called detectives to arrange an interview.

"I explained to him that his client did talk with me once, and he lied to me," St. Petersburg Police Detective Donald Crotty wrote in a report.

The state attorney's office, however, decided not to press charges.

Clemens cited the incident as an example of McNamee's dishonesty in a defamation lawsuit filed Sunday in Texas.

The seven-time Cy Young Award winner says his former personal trainer lied to baseball investigator George Mitchell to avoid prosecution when he said he injected Clemens at least 16 times with steroids and human growth hormone in 1998, 2000 and 2001. Clemens acknowledged receiving injections from McNamee but said they were vitamin B-12 and the painkiller lidocaine.

"The significant thing is, when this guy's rear end is in trouble, does he lie?" said Rusty Hardin, Clemens' attorney.

Interesting. I guess. Both of these guys are fantastic role models and I applaud them for being the heroes that they are.

(He still used steroids).

No. Actually its not hard to cheat on those. Which is why they're not accepted in American courts.

Yes, it is rather difficult for the average person to cheat on one of them. They're not admissible in court, but the cheating aspect is not the exact and lone reason.
