NIGHT STALKER Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Posted: Wednesday January 30, 2008 05:31AM ET Andy Pettitte will soon give a sworn deposition to staff members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and lawyers for his former personal trainer, Brian McNamee, say they believe they know part of what he will say. Pettitte and McNamee talked in 2001 and 2002 about Roger Clemens' use of steroids and human growth hormone, McNamee's lawyers, Earl Ward and Richard Emery, said Tuesday. As a result, Ward and Emery said they believed that Pettitte, who has acknowledged receiving H.G.H. from McNamee in 2002, will provide the first account of contemporaneous conversations with McNamee about Clemens' use of performance-enhancing drugs in earlier years.

AFJF Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Wow. I'm guessing Roger isn't going to be so thrilled about this move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 If this is true, Roger comes off as a pathetic individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Andy is truly a role model. Doing what is right is refreshing. Instead of what would be in his best interests (backing Roger). Thank you Andy. There is hope for this sport yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Andy. There is hope for this sport yet. While Andy is certainly much more admirable than Roger, he did lie when questioned about performance enhancers in the past. He is not a saint, but very well may be a saint when compared to Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 When did he lie? From NYT 12-16- Pettitte had previously denied using performance-enhancing drugs. Last year, The Los Angeles Times reported that Pettitte was among the players the former Yankee Jason Grimsley said used performance-enhancing drugs in a federal affidavit.

Scott Dierking Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 technically, if you believe his story, he did not use drugs to enhance his performance but to recover from injury faster. Let's not split hairs here. What he did was illegal. He knew it, and he tried to lie about it when confronted directly, originally. is he different than 99% of other players in the same situation? No. Does it make him a role model? i don't think so. But I would not put that on any athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
