From ESPN:
A source close to Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., told ESPN.com's T.J. Quinn that the congressman says he was misquoted and misunderstood in a published report about Andy Pettitte's deposition.
Sources told Quinn that Pettitte was not a good witness when he appeared before congressional lawyers during a sworn deposition on Monday. Pettitte often contradicted himself, the sources said, so the committee agreed to his request not to appear Wednesday.
Lawyers familiar with the hearings would not say if Pettitte implicated Clemens as a steroids user in his testimony. However, they said that Pettitte's testimony didn't fully jibe with Clemens' versions of events.
Buster Olney was also interviewed on The Michael Kay Show about Pettitte's deposition and said nothing concrete was said to place Clemens in a position that his attorney could not refute. Basically nothing that directly leads to Clemens. Olney also says that the recent reports about Pettitte’s supposedly incriminating testimony was false and doesn't see anything damaging said by Pettitte. Confirming what Rep. Davis is saying in the ESPN article.
Olney did say that one statement can be interpreted in a negative way, but otherwise all other statements can be refuted.
