McNamee responds to Clemens

From the NY Daily News:

Brian McNamee hasn't talked to Roger Clemens since the personal trainer's explosive testimony in the Mitchell Report fingered the Rocket as an abuser of steroids and human growth hormone.

But McNamee, whose work Clemens credited for years as one of the reasons he was able to dominate into his 40s, would like to one day discuss the matter with Clemens, McNamee's lawyer, Earl Ward, said Sunday.

"Brian would be open to it, certainly," Ward said in a telephone interview. "I don't know if Roger would. But Brian would be open to it because he knows what he's been saying all along is honest and truthful and he'd want Roger to understand he was obligated to tell the truth.

"The bottom line is he did not want to implicate a friend and a baseball icon in a steroid scandal," Ward added. "He was asked to tell the truth and he has. That's always been his position since Day 1."

This soap opera just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it? Sadly this is a story that isn't going to go away any time soon, whether Clemens did use PED's or not. The problem is that this is a classic he said-she said case. There is no way for either side to prove what they are saying is true, that's why no matter what happens Clemens' reputation will be tarnished forever.
