Roger Clemens Goes on the Offense
Roger Clemens has a Youtube video in which he proclaims his innocence and an interview set up with 60 Minutes in which he will respond to any and all questions about his alleged use of performance enhancers as detailed in the Mitchell Report. And now his lawyers are launching their own investigation, claiming that there are people that George Mitchell should have interviewed but didn't, all in an effort to clear Clemens.How hypocritical of Clemens's lawyers to imply that the Mitchell Report is faulty when any "investigation" they'd do would be far more biased than anything that George Mitchell did.
What does this all amount to? Nothing more than a carefully crafted public relations campaign. If Clemens wanted to clear his name so badly why didn't he give a statement of his own to Mitchell when he was contacted? Why didn't he answer reporters questions and make a statement himself directly to the media and fans when he was first named in the Mitchell Report instead of speaking through his agents and lawyers? And the youtube video - give me a break. Nothing more than Clemens and his "people" trying to control the message.
There's no hard evidence that Brian McNamee is telling the truth; unfortunately for Clemens there's no real proof that he's telling the truth either. Just one man's word against another's.
