MLB Star Roger Clemens accused of using Steroids
Roger Clemens, the latest MLB player to be hit by steroids allegations.
With still more than a few months away from the 2008 MLB baseball season, we already have the latest controversy engineered by the use of steroids in professional baseball.
And the latest of which are these guys, Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte. In case you didn’t know, both Clemens and Pettitte are the best of friends, both moving together from the New York Yankees to the Houston Astros and then back to NYC. After this steroids issue, the friendship Clemens and Pettite have is falling apart..
You see, accusations of steroids use came in between Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte. Pettitte admitted that he did use the forbidden drug. Clemens, on the other hand, denied it. That’s when things got a little testy between the two MLB pitchers.
Roger Clemens claims that Pettitte ‘’misremembers’’ two conversations that they had about steroids. Clemens testified that in those conversations with Andy Pettitte, he was talking about his wife’s use of H.G.H. one time and on another occasion was referring to something he saw on a television show.
Clemens sought to rebut Pettitte’s sworn and damaging statements to the committee that Clemens told him point blank that he had used H.G.H.
There’s one slight problem though. Henry A. Waxman, the California Democrat who chairs the committee, does not believe a word that Clemens says. He also pointed out that Pettitte’s wife Laura had already given an affidavit confirming that her husband told her about the conversation he had with Clemens shortly after it took place.
We will watch this entire drama unfold before the MLB season kicks off.
