Last year, anabolic steroid paraphernalia linking New York Yankees player Roger Clemens to the use of performance enhancing drugs was tested positive to contain his DNA. This strengthens the testimony of Brian McNamee who was accused of injecting Clemens with PEDs and human growth hormone. Clemens did not deny that he was injected with substances but says they were not steroids…. just Vitamin B12 and lidocaine.
Yeah, ummm, okay….
Well Clemens is NOW accused of committing perjury for telling the Congress last year that he did not use performance enhancing drugs. McNamee says otherwise, producing evidence that would prove Clemens guilty.
And it’s good evidence too, like: vials, syringes and gauze pads!!!
Kinda gross, eh? I mean, who saves biohazard material like that?!! LOL!
Reports claim that Clemens’ DNA was found on one of the syringes and gauzes pads used to wipe his blood.
Rusty Hardin, Clemens’ lawyer, said that it was not surprising that evidence had surfaced.
From The New York Times:
“Duh,” he said with exaggeration. “Do you really think McNamee was going to fabricate this stuff and not make sure there were substances on there? The fact is Roger never used steroids or H.G.H.”
When McNamee handed over the materials to federal authorities in January 2008, he said that he had kept them in a Federal Express box in his basement since he had used them to inject Clemens in 2000 and 2001.
The tests on the materials are being conducted at the Los Angeles-area laboratory of Dr. Don Catlin. Since the government began aggressively looking into the distribution of performance-enhancing drugs in 2002, Catlin has been the lead drug-tester for federal prosecutors.
Personally (and isn’t that what it’s really all about?), we’d feel much better if Roger Clemens just came out and said, “Performance enhancing drugs? You’re damn straight I took them. How else do think I’d be able to win seven Cy Young awards after banging country singer Mindy McCready every night and only getting three hours of sleep?”
