mbn007 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I excerpted a portion of that article. Read this slowly everyone, especially the underlined part, which I underlined: "I want to state clearly and without qualification: I did not take steroids, human growth hormone or any other banned substances at any time in my baseball career or, in fact, my entire life,'' Clemens said Tuesday in a statement issued through his agent, Randy Hendricks. "Those substances represent a dangerous and destructive shortcut that no athlete should ever take. This can easily be interpreted to mean that he took these substances prior to their being banned.

toon88 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 so then, again I ask you Roger, exactly when will you be suing Mr. Mitchell for "defamation of character"? that's what we thought....shut up and retire already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smizzy Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 So he's taking the Pete Rose approach? That worked out well for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please. He's likely referring to amphetamines etc. I am at a loss for all the crap Bonds gets in this forum and yet we have subliminal messages from Yankee players that makes it all ok. We're not playing a Beatles album backwards here. Roger got caught and only talks tough because Mitchell has no subpeona authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Guys calm down. I just spoke with Roger. He says he didn't do it. We have to believe him. He also told me he never threw a bat at Piazza either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anskyruben Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Oh noes.....the lies !!! As far as the Mike Myazza incident, big deal. Myazza was a big fruit for not charging the mound and "discussing" it with RoidGer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 so then, again I ask you Roger, exactly when will you be suing Mr. Mitchell for "defamation of character"? that's what we thought....shut up and retire already. I was thinking the same thing about the report and a lot of players in it Toon but Mitchell covered his ass with the wording. Things like "our source said he saw Clemens with" or "possess" HGH. I don't think he ever says he knows for a fact that Clemens took them. Basically used the same method as a BS journalist for the enquirer or the post. It's all about what it seems somebody could have done based on information given by somebody else. The only person Clemens might be able to sue is the clubhouse boy in which case he'll get no money and could just come out looking like a bigger a-hole in the public eye. Again, same goes for all named in the report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 so then, again I ask you Roger, exactly when will you be suing Mr. Mitchell for "defamation of character"? that's what we thought....shut up and retire already. this is ALWAYS, I repeat ALWAYS the true barometer if someone was truly wronged.. When they deny and never go to court to sue then 99% of time, they are guilty and just doing damage control. In other cases, movie stars, aka, National Enquirer, they sue and win many times for slander.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Clemens saying he didn't use steroids is about as believable as Thor saying he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor99 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Clemens saying he didn't use steroids is about as believable as Thor saying he did. Which is a little more believable than you running 10 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
