The Perjury Cases of Bonds and Clemens
Feb 13, 2008 | 9:37PM | report this

With it looking very likely that Roger Clemens will be indicted for perjury, I thought it might be interesting to take a look at the contrast in evidence:



Bonds case:
-Did he ever knowingly use steroids?
  • The guy who allegedly injected him will not testify/admit that he injected him, or told Bonds what he was injecting him with
  • His former girlfriend may testify that he knew what he was taking. Former prosecutors said that Bell could face credibility issues and be portrayed as a scorned lover with financial problems. There may be evidence that she asked for money to keep from going public with information
  • His doctor has been subpoenaed, but it is unknown what he has to say
  • Most physical evidence in this case is useless, since it doesn't matter whether he used or not. Only whether he knew what he was taking

Clemens case:
-Did he ever use steroids and/or HGH?
  • The guy who allegedly injected him admits that he injected him with both steroids and HGH
  • Pettitte and Knoblauch admit that McNamee is telling the truth about everything concerning their use of HGH/steroids
  • The feds have physical evidence that allegedly include syringes with the drugs and Clemens' DNA
  • Andy Pettitte (one of Roger's closest friends) claims that Clemens admitted to him that he took HGH
  • Clemens claims that Pettitte "misremembers" the HGH conversation and that they were really talking about his wife taking it. This conversation took place in 1999 or 2000 according to Pettitte. Debbie Clemens took the HGH in 2003. (Caught in a lie)
  • Clemens claimed that he was unaware that he would appear in the Mitchell Report until it was released. Later, he admitted that he knew several days before it was released. McNamee had contacted his people to warn Roger. Roger's people recorded the conversation and played it for Clemens a few days before the report's release. (Caught in a lie)
  • Clemens claimed to never be at the Canseco party. He was certain of it and testified as such. He may have tampered with a witness to support his claim. But now it is reported that there is photographic evidence (along with McNamee's testimony) that Clemens was indeed there. (Caught in a lie)



That's all I have come up with for evidence on either guy. Please feel free to comment and/or contribute evidence that I have forgotten or missed completely. As it stands now, I don't see how any sane individual could think that Roger will not serve time. Bonds, although we are all pretty sure he knew what he as doing, looks to be getting acquitted of his charges at this point.

Bonds Cannot be Suspended
Mar 09, 2006 | 5:00PM | report this

The speculation that Barry Bonds may be suspended by Bud Selig is absurd. MLB could have concrete evidence that Bonds used roids during his record setting season and there would still be no suspension. All of these reports, (which probably have a lot of truth to them), do nothing but shed light on the fact that Bonds is a liar. What they do not do, is give Selig recourse for an suspension. How do you suspend a guy for "allegedly" taking steroids BEFORE they were outlawed in baseball? What if I was cited with a violation for smoking in a bar last year... 6 months before it was deemed illegal? Bond's lawyers would eat this up if a suspension comes. It will be the easiest case of their lives.

And yes, Bonds is a liar. What do you want him to do? Admit that he used performance enhancing drugs? Do we we really want kids to hear him say that? This guy is one of the greatest athletes of all time. We don't need kids thinking that drugs are the way to get to his level. Everyone needs to drop this whole steroids thing. They are now banned in baseball...testing is ongoing and seems to be thorough...leave the past in the past and move on to the next issue. If Bonds tests positive for something in the future, feel free to attack.

Bonds and Roids: Stats don't count? BS
Mar 08, 2006 | 11:40AM | report this

What almost every journalist out there is ignoring is the fact that all these performance enhancing drugs were not against baseballs rules at the time they were allegedly taken. All this talk we hear on the web , the radio, and on television about the record books being tainted is moot. Bonds could stand up today and say, "Yeah, I was taking steroids for years", and it wouldn't make a lick of difference. Blame MLB if you want for not banning steroids sooner, but please quit talking about the users who were only trying to be the best at their jobs and entertain us fans, while adhering to the rules of the game.

ABOUT ME

This blogger is a New Yorker, born and raised. I'm a huge sports fan, following pretty much every major sport out there. Sadly, this does not include hockey, NASCAR, or boxing. Hockey lost my affection during the lockout, NASCAR is not a sport, and boxing has become incredibly boring since the dawn of MMA. If you want to talk football, baseball, basketball, or MMA, then I'm your man. I could also debate NASCAR with anyone, but we would probably end up just going around in circles...
