Baseball's Steroids Hearings
« on: February 14, 2008, 11:25:16 PM »
Alright, as most of you probably know, the steroids issue in baseball took center stage again yesterday when another round of hearings were held before congress regarding Roger Clemens alleged use of human growth hormone. Most of you also probably know that there's a good deal of controversy surrounding yesterday's testimonies. What do you all think? Was anyone lying? Who? If so, do you think that person(s) will be charged with perjury?

Let us know what you thought! Of course, if you selected other above, please explain.  :sunglasses:


Me, I think Roger Clemens was not telling the truth. You have two men, Brian McNamee and Andy Pettite who testified that Clemens did use steroids. Yet all Clemens could muster in his own defense was that Pettite must have been mistaken and McNamee was lying. I don't buy it. I think he should be charged, but it seems likely that his status as a star, as well as his friendship with George Bush will be his saving grace, which is probably why he lied in the first place.

I'm not going to go real deap into this, because I just don't want too :P

But, I chose other.  I'm not sure who did what.  I think that the guy accusing might have over exagurated (sp?) a little bit, but, Clemens probably did take it.  So, I really don't know who is truthful or what.

But, if he is lieing, Clemens is in deep DOO-DOO  :ninja: :whistling:
