McNamee Produces Photos

Not that it really proves that Roger Clemens did use steroids, two photos were released showing used syringes and gauze that allegedly were used to inject Clemens with steroids by Brian McNamee. And although this is similar to Clemens and his team of lawyers to win the war of public approval, it really does nothing to validity his claims but at the same time, it certainly doesn't refute them as the Clemens camp would lead you to believe. Clemens was making every attempt to meet with congressional committee members privately - I'm sure to try and woo them to his side, hopefully unsuccessfully - and that move seems yet another move of desperation on his part. Unlike the Clemens camp, in which they released a taped phone conversation with McNamee that did nothing to exonerate Clemens and then issue another report, which I don't think anyone read or cares about, but again to try and put some credibility towards Clemens - which it didn't - I think the McNamee case still is the better case... although these pictures are far from being the smoking gun, the fact remains that Roger Clemens is the only athlete out of all the athletes in the Mitchell report to refute and fight the charges...and sure, he is probably the most notable athlete named and the most to lose...so it would seem as if he would try to do so...but with no one else adamantly denying the Mitchell report other than Roger, I continue to think that he is a cheater and used steroids...and as I see it, so far there has been a fair amount of evidence to prove that he did cheat and he has yet to produce even an ounce of evidence to refute that claim, and to be honest, if he was to gain any credibility he will have to start punching holes in the Mitchell report itself by getting other athletes to join with him in the fight...which, as I have mentioned, has yet to happen.
