Roger Clemens isn't planning on a comeback next year after sitting out the entire 2008 campaign, according to MyFoxHouston.com. He said, "Right now I don't have the desire to come back. I'm enjoying what I'm doing, the number of things I'm doing around town, just enjoying that. I don't know if I will ever say no. I would have to know that I could perform at a high level and that my body would be able to hold up."

"He found a receipt, and from what I'm told, he's turned it over to the feds. I don't think there's any question of its validity," said Richard Emery, the lawyer for former Clemens trainer Brian McNamee. | July 3, 2008

Roger Clemens apologized Monday for unspecified mistakes in his personal life but denied having an affair with a 15-year-old, according to the AP. The Daily News reported last week that Clemens had a decade-long relationship with country singer Mindy McCready that began when she was 15. The newspaper also linked Clemens to former Manhattan bartender Angela Moyer and Paulette Dean Daly, a former wife of golfer John Daly. Clemens said, "Even though these articles contain many false accusations and mistakes, I need to say that I have made mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry. I have apologized to my family and apologize to my fans. Like everyone, I have flaws. I have sometimes made choices which have not been right. I believe my personal life has nothing to do with the accusations of steroid and HGH use. I have already made clear that I did not use them. Now, I have been accused of having an improper relationship with a 15-year old girl. Nothing could be further from the truth. This relationship has been twisted and distorted far beyond reality. It is just one of many, many accusations that are utterly false. I realize that many people want me to simply confess and apologize for the conduct that I have been accused of, but I cannot confess to, nor apologize for, things I did not do. I have apologized to my family for my mistakes, and having offered this apology to the public, I would ask that you let me and my family deal with these matters in private."

Roger Clemens has suffered enough from his probe into steroid use, as said by Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner. He also went on to say that the FBI is too busy with more important crimes to spend their resources on determining whether Clemens lied to Congress about taking performance enhancing substances, according to the AP. | February 28, 2008
The Department of Justice was asked by a Congressional Committee on Wednesday to determine if Roger Clemens committed perjury in sworn testimony. On Thursday the FBI responded by launching an official investigation, according to the AP Wire.
The FBI is looking into whether Clemens lied to Congress when he denied taking steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs.

The U.S. Congress has asked the Justice Department to investigate whether Roger Clemens "committed perjury and made knowingly false statements" to a House committee, according to the AP. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Henry Waxman and ranking Republican Tom Davis said Clemens' statements in a Feb. 5 sworn deposition and at a Feb. 13 public hearing "that he never used anabolic steroids or human growth hormone warrants further investigation." Clemens will surely retire, so this news probably won't have any bearing in the world of fantasy, but it's worth tracking, nonetheless. | February 25, 2008
Roger Clemens is in an ever growing web of trouble as Congress has drafted a letter asking the Department of Justice to take a look at whether or not Clemens was truthful with his statements made before the body, this according to a report on ESPN. The letter has no material weight, but it is obviously a sign that Congress seems to believe Brian McNamee's version of events since he was not named in the letter. | February 23, 2008
Roger Clemens' stand that he is innocent of allegations by his former trainer, Brian McNameee, that he used HGH, continues to look more and more like a fib. According to SI.com, Clemens' lawyer was told a photograph exists that shows the pitcher at a party hosted by Jose Canseco, an issue that was disputed in Congress this month.
McNamee said the seven-time Cy Young Award winner was at the party. Clemens denied being there in his congressional deposition on Feb. 5. Later Clemens testified that it was possible he could have stopped by after playing golf -- and now there is a photo. | February 12, 2008
It's not looking good for Roger Clemens. Representative Tom Davis, the ranking Republican on the congressional committee investigating steroid use in baseball, told Newsday that the affidavit of Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte backs up trainer Brian McNamee in most details. McNamee has said he gave Clemens at least 16 injections of steroids or HGH, though The Rocket says both Pettitte and McNamee are mistaken. McNamee and Clemens will testify today at a congressional hearing. | February 10, 2008
One of Brian McNamee's lawyers said Sunday he believed the Justice Department will open a criminal investigation into Roger Clemens ' denials of doping, according to a Fox Sports report.
The newest development adds more drama to what were sure will turn into an ESPN soap opera as the chairman of a congressional committee said comments attributed to one of the pitcher's lawyers could be interpreted as trying to intimidate a federal law enforcement official. "I think there will be a criminal prosecution after Wednesday, and that means there will be grand jury proceedings and subsequent proceedings," said Richard Emery, one of McNamee's attorneys. Hardin was quoted in Sunday's New York Times as saying it would be "brazen" and "unbelievable" if IRS Special Agent Jeff Novitzky, a key prosecutor in the BALCO drug cases, attends the hearing.
"If he ever messes with Roger, Roger will eat his lunch," Hardin was quoted as saying.
Rep. Henry Waxman, the committee chairman, wrote a letter to Hardin on Sunday saying that some comments by Hardin and McNamee's lawyers were "inadvisable." "SpyGate" has nothing on the "RogerRoid" drama heating up in Washington. | February 10, 2008
Roger Clemens' lawyer says he can prove that he wasn't at a Jose Canseco party in 1998 as claimed by former trainers Brian McNamee. The evidence comes from a sworn affidavit from Canseco saying he wasn't there as well as brodcast tapes that specifically mention that Clemens wasn't there. Really, this is getting a bit ridiculous isn't it? Whether or not the guy did PEDs has nothing to do with some random party 10 years ago does it? Should we really be subjected to this type of nonsense on an almost daily basis? AP | February 8, 2008
Brian McNamee told congressional investigators Thursday that Roger Clemens' wife took human growth hormone before she appeared with the pitcher in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue in 2003, according to the New York Daily News. McNamee testified that he injected Debbie Clemens at Roger Clemens' direction, according to a source. McNamee was speaking under oath before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which will hold a hearing on the Mitchell Report on steroid use in baseball Wednesday. | February 6, 2008
The New York Daily News reports that Brian McNamee has turned over physical evidence to federal investigators linking Roger Clemens to steroids. A source has said that McNamee gave the Justice Department's BALCO investigators vials with traces of steroids and growth hormone, including blood-stained syringes and gauze pads that may contain the Rocket's DNA. Clemens' attorneys did not return calls for comment, but we should hear from the Clemens party once further information is revealed. | January 3, 2008
Even if Roger Clemens decides he wants to pitch one more season, don't count on the Yankees bringing him back. "I'm not signing Clemens," Hank Steinbrenner, the Yankees' senior vice president, told the NY Daily News. He added that the Yankees weren't looking for short-term stopgaps in their rotation, because of their young pitching. |
