This Isn't A Shock
Well, Clemens has chosen to fight this and since he really has nothing to lose at this point, it isn't a shock.
The question is, can MLB, the media, whomever, prove these accusations? It seems to me that the only way to get that proof would be for the Feds to intervene. McNamee, the guy who named Clemens, is part of the Kirk Radomski investigation. Radomski named McNamee as someone he had given steroids and HGH to and in turn, Radomski named Clemens and Pettitte as recipients.
Now, Radomski pleaded guilty in April, but he will not be sentenced until February 8th because the investigation is ongoing. That leaves open the possibility that the Feds subpoena a player like Clemens or some of the other players named in the report. To me, that is about the only way you will ever know the 100% truth about this because that is when the players will be under oath to tell the truth and face the same choice that Barry Bonds and Jason Giambi did in the BALCO investigation.
And, I would be very, very careful if I were a player who did some of this stuff. There are other investigations that are ongoing and more names will probably be on the way.
