Roger Clemens’ Fight Challenges MLB’s Credibility

kcdc posted 2/14/2008 from www.sportsofboston.com [flag]

By denying and totally refuting anything that Brian McNamee has said, Roger Clemens is challenging the very foundation of the Mitchell Report. McNamee provided a lot of information that became public from the Mitchell Report, including testimony about Roger Clemens, Chuck Knoblauch, and Andy Pettitte. If McNamee is lying then the Mitchell Report loses a lot of credibility. [link]

We remember all the fun and games surrounding the physical evidence at the O.J. trial. Even if they find Clemens DNA (which Clemens acknowledges would exist), there would be the problem of proving that it had never been tampered with. Hopefully they won’t try to see if a syringe fit in a pin hole in Clemens butt--if it doesn’t fit you must acquit?
