Clemens isn't the bad guy, Merck is the real bad guy.<BR/>2. Clemens is dumb/is getting poor counsel/some combination of the two.<BR/>3. Clemens is a liar. Lidocaine shots in his butt?

I'm a bad co-blogger. Sorry Coovo.<BR/><BR/>So after Clemens' 60 minutes interview, do you think he did it? To me, there's too many people on both sides with reasons to lie, and not enough proof. It's just a damn shame.Rollerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16904666850142252780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778556107185533687.post-42010745052365620722007-12-24T10:30:00.000-05:002007-12-24T10:30:00.000-05:00Your point is valid Austin.

While illegal in other sports, it was not on baseball's "drug policy" list. I'd be interested to see the status of HGH in other sports during the period in question 2002-2005. <BR/><BR/>One thing you glean from the report is how even back in 1985-86, Uberoth was trying to get some sort of drug testing going and the Players association kept rejecting it.Coovohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00515173149807926852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778556107185533687.post-66977211060395138552007-12-20T17:22:00.000-05:002007-12-20T17:22:00.000-05:00Thanks Tim.

Lots of interesting reading surrounding this report. I'll bet a lot of the players regret not answering any questions. <BR/><BR/>I am a little surprised they included the HGH story in with the steroids story. From what I have heard and read, HGH was not against baseball rules when most of these players are accused of taking it. So, as long as it was used with a legal prescription from a physician, there was technically nothing wrong with it. While there is a strong argument that the players "should have known it was wrong" and should have chosen not to use it, HGH was still not banned. The report, unfortunately, doesn't make the Cards any better this year.Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11102840388777883765noreply@blogger.com
