Clemens to be Lambasted in Book

The NY Daily News' I-team (their 60 Minutes way of saying investigators Teri Thompson, Nathaniel Vinton, Michael O’Keeffe and Christian Red) have put together an expose on Roger Clemens entitled, "American Icon: The Fall of Roger Clemens and the Rise of Steroids in America's Pasttime".

The book is based on thousands of pages of court documents, congressional depositions, police reports, medical files and transcripts of secretly recorded phone calls. They interviewed baseball players and executives, union officials, congressional members and staffers, law enforcement agents, attorneys, agents, steroid suppliers, trainers, doctors and doping experts. The team’s original reporting for the Daily News won The Associated Press Sports Editors award for Best Investigative Reporting in 2008.

Today's edition of the paper has excerpts about the Clemens' SI photo shoot, Brian McNamee injecting Debbie Clemens with HGH, Roger's infidelity, and the anti-defamation suit which brought damaging character flaws to the public's attention.

Do we really need to know all this?

Clemens Takes Another Shot

Things got even worse for Roger Clemens yesterday when it was revealed that Brian McNamee wasn't his only performance enhancing drug provider. Kirk Radomski, the primary sleaze bag in the Mitchell Report, reportedly turned over receipts to the Feds for HGH shipments sent to Clemens' house. Oh, and they were sent to the attention of Brian McNamee.

The shipments coincide with the time that Debbie Clemens allegedly used the PED. Just when you thought this would go away, we're right back in.

What a Bunch of Boobs

As you know by now, Debbie Clemens and Jessica Canseco have been brought into the fray based on the now famous infamous party at the Canseco house. Also, Debbie Clemens was injected with HGH by Brian McNamee and had a bad reaction. It was reportedly done without Roger Clemens' consent or knowledge.

Now things have really gotten spicy stupid. According to McNamee's recollection of the party, Mrs. Clemens and Mrs. Canseco talked about, and compared, their breast implant jobs.

"...which was involving Jose (Canseco), Jose's wife and Roger's wife when they went inside, when the guys showed up. I mean, they talked -- no disrespect, but they talked about how great Jose's wife's augmentation job was to Debbie and showed her. And then Debbie showed her, her augmentation job."

It's just getting slimier by the minute. What next? Jose and Roger were comparing shrinking kahones?

Nannygate

Much of yesterday's circus they call a hearing centered around a party held by Jose Canseco in 1998. Yes, that is correct; they want people to recollect who/what/where from almost 10 years ago.

It was at that party, at the home of Canseco and his wife, that Brian McNamee saw Roger Clemens speaking with Canseco. McNamee feels that conversation may have been what prompted Clemens to approach him about the use of steroids.

Clemens denied being at the party and Canseco and his (now former) wife signed an affidavit confirming Clemens' statements.

When questioned why he knew Clemens was definitely at the Canseco's, McNamee recalled that he saw a child running loose near the pool area and a woman came to collect him. When McNamee asked who the child and woman were, someone told him that it was one of Clemens' kids and their nanny.

The nanny would turn out to be one of the most influential people on the day. Oversight committee chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif) asked why it took so long for Clemens' representatives to get back to the committee with the nanny's contact information. The response made Roger Clemens look very bad.

Clemens found out last Friday that the committee was looking for the nanny's info, so he got it. But instead of just giving it to the committee, he contacted the nanny and asked her to come to his home to meet with him (and without it being said, his lawyer(s)). The nanny, who does not speak English very well, agreed and met with Clemens, who had not had contact with her since 2001 or 2002, over the weekend.

Clemens claimed he merely was meeting with her to make sure she told the truth. Clemens' people then did not give the contact info to the committee until Monday. Finally, the nanny was contacted and questioned. Her response was damaging to Clemens' story.

While she did not recall any party, she did confirm that the Rocket and his wife were at Canseco's house during the time period in question. In fact, Debbie Clemens, the kids, and the nanny stayed overnight at one point.

This left Clemens spinning his wheels and clearly damaged his alibi/testimony. He could come back and try to say, using semantics, that he merely answered he was not at a party, but that would not fly. He clearly stated he was not at the Canseco household.

So what happens now? While Congress may be done with all of this, it would not be out of the question for federal investigators to further delve into the matter and determine if Clemens lied under oath.

The circus/witch hunt continues.

Just Go Away

Radomski, Clemens, McNamee, Bonds, Canseco, and your lawyers, your agents, your book writers. We are getting incredibly sick of the daily onslaught of "he said/he said".

The "crazy" meter was pinging off the charts this week. Brian McNamee brought Mrs. Rocket, Debbie Clemens, into the mix by saying that he taught her how to inject HGH.

Meanwhile, Roger Clemens may have a future as a lobbyist in D.C.. He's met with several members of Congress this week to discuss his situation. Somehow autographs and photos have also been a part of it. We're not fans of Mike Lupica (the latest- the Lisa Olsen situation- just further proves with a dick the lip is), but his critical piece on Clemens in today's Post is a good one.

Clemens' lawyers are also out to prove McNamee is a liar by rebuking his claim that Clemens was at a Jose Canseco hosted party in 1998. Clemens' "team" obtained an affidavit from Jose Slime that stated Clemens was not there.

Kirk Radomski, who received 5 years probation on Friday for his part in the steroid scandal, is backing McNamee.

"I'm defending Brian, that is right,'' Radomski told ESPN.com. "I believe him over Clemens and his lawyers. I think he is very believable. He was a cop. He knows the consequences of lying. He has more to lose than to gain by lying.''

There's one little problem with that, Kirksleeze - anabolic steroids are also illegal when not prescribed/injected by a real doctor. The former cop didn't seem to have a problem with that one.

Darrell Issa (R-Calif), a member of the panel that deposed Roger Clemens, expects Congress to turn everything over to the Justice Department.

"I'm convinced that we will." Issa said when asked if the committee would hand up a criminal referral at the end of the explosive congressional investigation. "I'm predicting that now. I hope I'm wrong."

It would seem more appropriate for the Justice Dept. to handle this matter rather than Congress.

And in case you forgot, the Barry Bonds federal case is still in the works.

Bonds' lawyers have asked U.S. District Judge Susan Illston to throw the case out, (nice try), or to order the prosecution team to consolidate the charges. Illston is scheduled to hear from Bonds' legal team on Feb. 29 before proceeding further.

Debbie Clemens in the Fray

Jim Baumbach of Newsday is reporting that Brian McNamee told congressional investigators that Debbie Clemens used HGH as an anti-aging property. That is the word according to a source familiar with the testimony. Lawyers for both sides would not comment.

The source stated that McNamee showed Debbie Clemens how to inject herself. Roger Clemens has been meeting privately the last 2 days with federal prosecutors.
