faba Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Report: Man has photo of Clemens at disputed Canseco party ESPN.com news services Updated: February 22, 2008, 12:42 PM ET Comment Email Print The 1998 party at Jose Canseco's house in Miami may have started out as a gathering of friends and family. It has turned into an event worthy of congressional testimony and a source of "evidence." There is a photo of Roger Clemens at Canseco's house during the June 1998 party, according to the New York Daily News -- a photo that would contradict Clemens' sworn testimony that he never attended the party. Richard Emery, one of the lawyers for Clemens' former trainer, Brian McNamee, said he was aware of the existence of the photo. "We have reason to believe it's reliable evidence," Emery told the Daily News. "We believe there's photographic evidence that shows Clemens was at a party he says he wasn't at." The event is a key point in the steroids investigation involving Clemens. It is mentioned in the Mitchell report, and was a focal point during the Feb. 13 hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. In the Mitchell report, Brian McNamee, Clemens' former trainer, said he witnessed Canseco, Clemens and a third, unidentified person talking together, but did not overhear the conversation. McNamee said that some time after the party, "Clemens approached [him] and, for the first time, brought up the subject of using steroids," according to the report. The crux of the issue is whether Clemens was present at the party, which was hosted by Canseco for his Toronto Blue Jays teammates and their families while they were in town for a series against the Florida Marlins. Clemens has repeatedly denied being at Canseco's house for that event. But a young man has a photo of Clemens at the party, according to the Daily News. The man was just 11 years old at the time of the party, taking photos of various baseball players in attendance. McNamee has testified that he clearly recalls Clemens, his wife, nanny and children at Canseco's party, including describing the nanny as wearing a peach bikini and board shorts. Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, has said he turned over evidence to congressional lawyers, including an affidavit from Canseco, proving Clemens didn't attend Canseco's party. The House committee is still debating on the next step regarding the steroids investigation. Sources have told the Daily News that they expect the committee to refer the entire matter, not just the Clemens investigation, to the Justice Department. "We haven't heard anything one way or the other," Hardin told the Daily News. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict that Jose Canseco has had more than one party in his lifetime. I'm Just Sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 But Roger has a golf slip, that he has kept from 10 years ago. That PROVES he was not at the party. And the nanny...... well, she must be wrong. The camera must be "mis-rembering" And 124-Jose was only in Toronto for the 1998 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still hardly believe Mr.Attention Freak himself, Jose Canseco, has only one party in a year. Hardly believe that. Oh, and it also proves Jose is a liar since he did say in writing that Clemens was not there. Lets not forget that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for Roger, he picked a poor witness to back up his claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidhuman Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Well, my only question is why did more than just the nanny say we wasnt there? The announcers for the game following the party commented that Clemens wasnt there and other players even said he wasnt there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever gone to a party and arrived at a different time than a friend, they left before you arrived and you later found out they were at the party? "Oh, I didn't know you were there!" I can fully believe Roger played golf that morning. That could very well explain why he arrived at the party later, and why maybe others didn't see him. Really, the party is far from the most incriminating evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeebers Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Roger is a douche bagger. At this point it doesn't even matter if he was at the party. He's proven to have been a juicer beyond any reasonable doubt. There's no ifs or ands about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 why would Clemens start using roids AFTER 1997 when he went 20-6? the time frame doesn't fit I'd think he started using them in 1996, look at how much he improved his final year in Boston. wasn't Canseco a red sock then?

Scott Dierking Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 He went 10-13 in his last year with the Sox. 20-7 his first year with the Jays. He miraculously performed the reverse contract year achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
