A New Problem For Clemens?

2009_02_clems.jpg In what could be a big problem for Roger Clemens, syringes reportedly have the Rocket's DNA on them. The syringes had been turned over to authorities by his former trainer Brian McNamee, who claimed he used them to inject Clemens with steroids, an accusation Clemens and his attorney Rusty Hardin deny. The tests are still subject to verification and, most importantly, what they were used for has to be established. Yesterday Hardin downplayed the DNA evidence saying, "It will still be evidence fabricated by McNamee.” However, if the tests prove to be correct and that the syringes did contain steroids or HGH instead of "healthy juice", Clemens would probably face charges for lying to federal investigators and to Congress.

Do you swear to tell a lie, and nothing but a lie, so help you God?

My grandpappy used to say "never trust a man who's head is the size of a dead bloated dog". that's why I don't trust clemens, bonds, john mayer and conan obrien.

Because Congress really doesn't have more pressing business to deal with at this time.

This is congress's impersonation of Nero fiddling while Rome burns.
