We all knew this was coming... Even Clemens did. But the fact that he still denies his guilt is somewhat appalling. I know everyone is innocent until proven guilty, and I am still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I fear I will be proven wrong. The thing that bothers me the most about this whole situation though is Clemens' unwillingness to let it go. If you remember, congress was about to cancel his hearing. He never would have had to "lie". It was only due to Clemens' demand that the hearing go on that it did, and THAT now may land him in jail and permanently tarnish his reputation.
As a baseball fan I don't think steroids should take away from a players legacy. I am NOT saying that it was right to do them, and I in no way condone cheating. But the fact of the matter is that 90% of the league was doing it so it was more or less an even playing field. That era is over and we need to let it go and move on.... something that Clemens apparently couldn't do, and look where it's about to land him!
Everyone was on roids and MLB knew it. It was a ridiculous waste of time for congress to be involved at all. With the war in the middle east and the economy going to shit they used the steroid hearings as a distraction for the american public.
