Canseco's party and Debbie Clemens' hGH use
Rep. Tom Davis went through the circumstances of a party at Jose Canseco's Florida home. Brian McNamee has said that Roger Clemens attended with the possible implication being that it may have been a jumping off point for Clemens' interest in steroids and hGH. But no one else who was at the party recalls Clemens being there. Clemens said he doesn't recall being there and he has a receipt from a golf course showing he played golf that day.
Questioning by Rep. John Tierney focused on Clemens telling congressional staff that had never had a conversation with McNamee about hGH but then admitting that he did have heated conversations with McNamee about McNamee injecting Debbie Clemens with hGH. Pressed by Tierney to reconcile that inconsistency, Clemens' response seemed to be that he had no hGH conversations with McNamee prior to the Debbie Clemens event. The response did not appear on point and Tierney gave up on the line of questioning.
Rep. Dan Burton, if not a Clemens ally, launched an attack on McNamee's credibility by pointing out times he failed to tell the truth about steroids in press accounts and to investigators. Burton called Clemens a "titan" in baseball and attacked McNamee for ruining Clemens' reputation.

are Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens the same person?

lets just leave the poor guy alone . how can anybodys records ever be tainted before this stuff was banned by baseball, because with no testing in place anybody who put on a uniform should have equal suspicion geared towards them.
and pettite using hgh twice. hgh is taken for a long period of time with multiple injections evryday, the half-life of hgh is a matter of hours so 2 injections no matter how great of a quantity would have no affect on anyone, it would simply be a waste of time and money.

Clemens lied under oath just as Bonds did. If the Feds don't pursue and prosecute liar Clemens as they have black people Marion Jones and Barry Bonds things will look a tiny bit unbalanced against black American performance enhancing drug users. I smell an indictment of that awful liar Clemens. Serve justice on this massive cheater.

I feel it's a little too late to start enforcing the law! Start fresh and this time enforce the rules instead of only caring about making money and ticket sales!

"A little too late to start enforcing the law".
Yeah, they should have enforced the law to Roger before he earned the additional $107,100,000 since he first met Brian McNamee....

Ever seen the AT&T commercial where Roger is playing golf and from the green is having a phone conversation with his wife about playing another year of ball.... call gets dropped... in the meantime Debbie Clemens is in ROID RAGE and throwing things in the kitchen now wanting him to play again..... Wonder if they ever thought that would come back to tie them into the ROID Rage world. Also, they must have the AT&T Famly plan. Wonder if they were able to ge the ROID'S on a similiar Family plan?
---------------------------------------
Yeah, I've seen that ... funny how things work out.
