BroadwayJ667 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 NEW YORK -- Convicted steroid distributor Kirk Radomski handed over shipping receipts to federal investigators for a package of human growth hormone that he claims he sent to Roger Clemens' home in Texas in 2002 or 2003, The Daily News reported late Tuesday night on its Web site. Clemens, the seven-time Cy Young Award winner, is under investigation for perjury after telling Congress he never used steroids or human growth hormone. Brian McNamee, Clemens' personal trainer, told Congress that Clemens used performance-enhancing drugs and that he provided them to the 300-game winner. The Daily News reported, according to sources with close knowledge of the investigation, that Radomski is also believed to have provided the government with new information and receipts for drug shipments to other players. Radomski is a former New York Mets clubhouse employee whose allegations formed much of former Senate majority leader George Mitchell's report on steroid use in major league baseball. Radomski was sentenced to five years of probation in February after cooperating with government investigators. McNamee's allegations about Clemens in the Mitchell report led to Senate hearings with Clemens. The Daily News reported, according to the sources, that the package Radomski sent was addressed to William Roger Clemens, in care of Brian McNamee. The Daily News' sources said McNamee did not sign for the package. According to the sources, the timing of the shipment to Clemens' Houston home coincides roughly with the dates when Clemens' wife, Debbie, used human growth hormone in preparation for her participation in a pictorial in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. They also expect the evidence to corroborate McNamee's claims that Clemens was behind his wife's use and was present when McNamee injected her just after the drugs arrived at the couple's home. Clemens' attorney, Rusty Hardin, said he wasn't aware of the government receiving the receipts from Radomski. "I can't imagine that there's any truth to that at all," Hardin said. "We'll find out one day Roger never received or took the stuff." Matthew Parrella, an assistant U.S. Attorney from San Francisco, declined comment to The Daily News when contacted about the receipts. McNamee's attorney, Richard Emery, told The News on Tuesday he had heard that Radomski found new evidence. "He found a receipt, and from what I'm told, he's turned it over to the feds," Emery said. "I don't think there's any question of its validity. It confirms the story Brian described on the occasion when he was asked to inject Debbie and Clemens presented him with the HGH."

harts724 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 No problem for Clemens,he`ll throw his wife under the bus again and say it was for her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeebers Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 This is a non story as far as I'm concerned. Clemens has already proven his guilt time and time again. Next thing that anyone reads about is. "Roger Clemens Charged with Perjury" Anything other than that, please don't waste my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macguire was a roid head and no one talks about him anymore. It doesn't matter if he took steriods, he should still be in the HOF. It's not that easy, even with steroids, to get 4,672 strikeouts, an MVP, and 7 Cy-Youngs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 1. Clemens is a sure thing first ballot hall of famer. 2. Receipts that HGH was delivered do not equal proof that he took HGH. 3. IIRC, HGH was not banned in baseball until 2005 and these receipts were from 2002 and 2003. We all know the guy is a scumbag and was juicing, but this certainly is not a smoking gun and even if 100% true, it does not even point to him breaking MLB rules. Unless you think he got the HGH and kept it in the fridge for 2-3 years before taking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 When someone with some credibility steps forward, I'll listen. Kirk Radomski is not that guy. Bob ignores the fact that McNamee told the absolute truth about Pettitte, and then conveniently lies about Clemens? Even though Clemens is continually caught in his own lies. Man, hero worship sure makes some guys fall hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
