Roger Clemens' lead attorney told The New York Times that his firm is launching its own investigation into allegations the seven-time Cy Young winner used steroids and human growth hormone.
"We are convinced the conclusions in Mitchell's report are wrong and are investigating the findings ourselves," Rusty Hardin told The Times. "At this stage we have uncovered a lot of logical people who we thought Mitchell was going to talk to but never talked to him or his investigators. That's troubling."
Hardin declined to tell The Times the names of the individuals he was referring to.
Clemens will tell his side of the story in a CBS "60 Minutes" interview with Mike Wallace that will air Jan. 6. Hardin told The Times that Clemens will answer other reporters' questions after that interview.
"After 60 Minutes airs he will be sitting down to answer questions directly to members of the media," Hardin told the newspaper. "We haven't figured out where it will happen but he will answer questions that night."
The saga continues...
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I hope Roger is innocent. More importantly, I hope he can prove his innocence, because that's the only way he can save his name. All baseball fans should hope that he can, baseball has already had the best hitter of this generation(Barry Bonds), and his records, tarnished forever by steroid use, it doesn't need the best pitcher of this generation to join him on the * list.
I'm very interested to see his '60 Minutes' interview; I hope it's better than ARod's. It will air on January 6th.
