Its the first rule of keeping attention off of yourself..... "Lie, deny, counter-accusate." I think the bottom line is that we are never going to know who took what, and when they took it. Its all a bunch of here-say bullshit. I personally think that MLB should just admit that it is going on because they didnt enforce testing, apologize, and put rules into place to make sure we dont have another era like this again.

The statement did not say Clemens, or Pettitte, used steroids. It says they used "performance enhancing drugs". Literally this could mean they took antihistamine to help with allergies before a start. Did this enhance their performance? Yes, as they would have had a hard time pitching with itchy eyes and a runny nose. Is it a "drug"? Yes. Is it illegal or against the rules? No. Clemens and Pettite are both big boys, but neither of them blew up all of a sudden, or is throwing 102mph fast *****, or is crushing the ball 540ft. at the plate.

Seems like the guy was caught red handed, and decided to spotlight some other players to get a bit of the heat off of him. Even the picture alone makes the guy look like a douche. Naming Clemens as a steroid user would surely re-route some unwanted attention.

I sure hope it's not true.

Why do you think Clemens came in half way through the season....

I love both the guys. Clemens is no doubt one of the all time greatest. Even if he is taking the juice or once did it won't change my mind about the guy at all. He's a competetitor at heart and will do anything and everything to be one step ahead of his competition. If he did take it, his work ethic + juice = unbelievable.

I'm sorry, but work ethic + Juice is an oxymoron. Your work ethic is **** if you have to cheat to get somewhere. If that is the case, then Barry Bonds has the greatest work ethic baseball has ever seen. If you are a role model, and you do that ****.... you should have your ********* removed with a rusty spoon.

Okay let me rephrase. Work Attitude + Juice = unbelievable(on a guy with that much natural ability). I love when people say its cheating and think that just because you stick a needle in your *** your automatically stronger. Barry Bonds is one of the greatest hitters to ever walk on a diamond. He has unbelievable talent combined with the latest "technology ." He found a way to be successfull in the highest level of play possible. If you only knew how much of that is still going on, from low A to the show, you'd be chopping a lot of ********* off(if you could find them ).

Grimsley's attorney is saying he did not named Clemens or Pettitte in that report and says they'd never use them "in a million years".

Clemens pitching in the WBC sealed the deal with me on the steriod issue. He wouldn't subject himself to olympic testing if he was on HGH or steroids.

You know what I've "been saying" for a long time? It's "rediculous" how much of an idiot you are.

Roger has always been a big frame guy, look at his Red Sox days. Sure he has gained weight, but who hasn't from the age of 30 to 44. It's not like he was a small framed person all his life who just exploded after his prime (Barry Bonds).

Get a clue.

well today the paper made a retraction and said that either that an investigator or someone close to it said that the report isn't 100% correct. plus there have been plenty sources say grimsley gave no names, that investigators went to him asking about the players mentioned.
