Last night's marathon All-Star Game -- woe to the livebloggers charged with chronicling that nonsense -- served several functions. One of them: to prove to casual baseball fans just how long and boring baseball can be. Another: to mask new Roger Clemens revelations. According to the New York Daily News, steroid dealer Kirk Radomski -- not to be confused with Brian McNamee, Clemens' personal lackey-turned-snitch -- provided receipts to the government which prove he sent steroids to the Clemens household in late 2002 or 2003.
The official line from the Clemens camp is, as usual, denial, but the receipts are timed to corroborate the government's claim that the Rocket was responsible for his wife's use of HGH as she got ready to look sort of scary in her now-infamous Sports Illustrated pictorial. The timing works out, and the circumstantial evidence is almost overwhelming.
In other words, everyone in the world is now convinced that Roger Clemens (and his wife!) took some mixture of steroids and HGH at several stages of his Hall of Fame baseball career. This is nearly a foregone conclusion. McNamee and his lawyers don't need to convince anyone now; each new piece of evidence is just another nail in a coffin that was built in front of the House Oversight Committee.

This is absolute B.S.! Clemens never once took anything illegal. You supposed "sports writers" have absolutely nothing better to do than to trash Roger Clemens? What's in your closet(s)? Huh? Bunch of cowards! I hope Roger sues all of you for slander & puts all of you in the poor house. McNamee & this other clown are just purely jealous of the Rocket's success & HOF career. They should both be in jail. How about look at Nolan Ryan. I bet he took illegal stuff to pitch as long as he did. And how many other MLB legendary players have & still do take illegal substances?? Huh? Yeah, that's what I thought, NO ANSWERS!!! You are all a bunch of phonies & cowards who hide behind doors & write this non-sense. When the Rocket goes into the MLB/HOF you'll all be there praising his great career & success. **CK OFF! There is absolutely no proof! And each and every one of you should be ashamed for slamming Roger. There is absolutely no doubt you all forget what Roger accomplished in his stellar career. If you have proof let's see it. If not...go jump off a ship!!!! PATHETIC LOSERS!!!!

Unless you are the Rockets newly animated non-steroid related abscess riddled butt you can't say definitively that he wasn't on the juice.
Nobody has forgotten what that asshat did in his career but he has always been an arrogant jerk and it appears that the second half of his career was chemically enhanced. Is he the only guy to do it, of course not. He is the only guy who was arrogant enough to think that his achievements and political ties could get him off the hook without admitting he did anything. His testimony in front of congress was a perfect display of his hubris. I don't misremeber him throwing his wife under the bus, what type of person does that?
Oh, and its libel not slander. If I tell the press that the rocket is an ego maniacal steroid junkie you would say its slander. If I write that he is a broken bat tossing adulterous needle jockey you would say that I was libeling him.

Ref; Clemens Ok World get over it. In reflection, the Early Greeks might have ingested coffee as a stimulant before each meet in order to achieve maximum potential. Fast forward and today most Olympians might, at some time in their careers, use HGH to achieve their maximum potential. Therefore it is this AOL user's opinion that perhaps we should consider another type of Olympic gathering..We can call it, "THE ANYTHING GOES WORLD OLYMPICS" ! In addition, I believe that Sports Officals should simply take a stick, draw a line in the Earth and say,"From here on out, No more enhancers in any sports period ! Last, please ....Lets all get over it ! No more witch hunts.This is like watching the movie "Rocky" over & over & OVER again ! STOP !

I've been a clinical pharmacist for 15 years, I used steroids in 1993 and used alternative methods to increase my own hGH production. I could look at Roger Clemens' medical records and tell everyone, without a doubt whether or not he used steroids and or hGH. Unfortunately, when it comes to an objective analysis such as this, no one seems interested, including the House Oversight Committee..
