Clemens Lawsuit Possible

When Jose Canseco's book came out detailing steroid use in MLB, as well as the Game Of Shadows, a book detailing Barry Bonds' steroid use, players that were named as steroid users in baseball were quick to come out and challenge the books and hint that lawsuits would be coming to defend themselves...well, years have past and not one player has came forward with a lawsuit to save their reputation with the likely reasons being that they can't.

Roger Clemens has been doing interviews to anyone that will listen in an attempt to clear his name...to defiantly defend that he has never taken any steroids. He will be the focus of a 60 Minutes interview that will air this Sunday (and I won't be watching) in which he wants to 'clear the record' and most likely pull a Rafeal Palmerio and to stare down and angrily point at the camera and announce that he never used steroids...yeah, good for you Rog... but he better be careful about what he said in this interview because if he claims that Brian McNamee is lying about Clemens' steroid use that Clemens' will then be sued by McNamee. Of course if Roger is being advised by any legal counsel, I am sure he will tactifully dance around any questions regarding McNamee's testimony. But at the same time, Clemens has come out so aggressively to challenge the findings that he may be foolish enough to further damage himself by publicly discounting McNamee's testimony.

I think the reasons why Clemens' longevity and ability to retire and return to baseball almost every year for the past decade is well known now...steroids...and I doubt there can be little that he can do now to repair his legacy. He can be placed in the Hall Of Fame right next to Barry Bonds in the steroid wing of the Hall of Fame...
