Roger Clemens Pwnage!

McNamee, Clemens’s former trainer, will produce “corroborative physical evidence” for congressional investigators that he injected Clemens with performance-enhancing drugs, the trainer’s lawyers said Wednesday.

According to a lawyer familiar with the matter, McNamee had syringes used to inject Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone that still had traces of Clemens’s blood. McNamee gave those syringes to federal prosecutors last month when they came to New York to meet with McNamee and his lawyer, Earl Ward.

McNamee has asserted that he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone from 1998 to 2001.

The lawyer said McNamee would sometimes inject Clemens at the pitcher’s apartment in New York and would then take the syringes with him because he had a hazardous waste disposal at his own home in Queens. The lawyer said McNamee still had some of those syringes even after the Mitchell report was released last December and that he gave them to Internal Revenue Service special agent Jeff Novitzky. The lawyer said McNamee also had gauze pads used to remove blood from Clemens’s skin after injections from 1998-2001. Those gauze pads have also been turned over to federal investigators.

McNamee is scheduled to give a deposition to the House Oversight committee on Thursday and his lawyers said he evidence will be released publicly after his session with congressional staff members.

Clemens gave a sworn deposition Tuesday denying he had ever used steroids or human-growth hormone.

“This will totally corroborate that Brian has been telling the truth from the beginning,” Ward, McNamee’s lead lawyer, said in a telephone interview. “It takes it out of the category of he-said, he-said.”

Another lawyer, Richard Emery, added, “Knoblauch and Pettitte and all the other people who corroborate Brian are going to be much less important than this physical evidence we provide.” Chuck Knoblauch and Andy Pettitte are former teammates of Clemens’s and former clients of McNamee’s who have not denied McNamee’s allegations that he injected them with human-growth hormone.

McNamee has told federal investigators and former Senator George J. Mitchell, who produced a report on performance-enhancing drugs in baseball, that he injected Clemens at least 16 times with steroids and human-growth hormone.

Clemens has flatly denied that assertion in a sworn deposition to congressional investigators Tuesday and in earlier public statements. After a nearly five-hour, closed-door deposition Tuesday, Clemens told reporters, “It was great to be able to tell them what I’ve been saying all along — that I’ve never used steroids or growth hormone.”

McNamee’s charges and Clemens’s denials are the main focus of a congressional investigation that is heading toward a House Oversight committee hearing next Wednesday in which both men have agreed to testify under oath. Lying to Congress is punishable by up to five years in prison.

While McNamee’s lawyers would not be precise in describing the evidence, Emery said, “It is not documentary evidence in terms of words.”

Ward and Emery both said federal criminal authorities have had the new evidence for some period of time. However, they said McNamee had not provided it to former Senator George J. Mitchell or the federal investigators last year.

McNamee was known to feel betrayed by Clemens;s secretly taping a phone call with him on Jan. 7.

“It’s evidence that was turned over to the federal government and that they’ve had for some time,” Ward said.

Clemens’s lawyers could not immediately be reached for comment.

WTF holds on to used syringes and old gauze?

I guess he always figured it was good to have as insurance in case something like this ever came up.

And whose to say he didn't add the steroids and HGH at a later date?

So now Clemens comes out and claims that he didn't know that is what was in the shots he took, and he gets away with it.
Big whoop.

it's one word against another...not going to prove a thing unless there is video taped evidence...it's all hearsay since neither wants to go to prison.

Okay, on to something important (not sure what)

He could probably sell the syringes on ebay for lots of money.

He could have the blood and have steriod syringes and then mix and match, now it looks like hard evidence against Clemens, but really it was manipulated. Like it was said before, only video evidence is going to be 100% conclusive. I think Petite's testimony will play a key roll as well.

So, McNamee just HAPPENS to have some 7 year old syringes that are going to incriminate Clemens. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

If that is key evidence in the case against Clemens...um...yea..."The glove don't fit."
