It Took Roger Clemens Three Weeks to Come Up With Lidocaine and B-12?

I'm not expecting a whole lot from Roger Clemens 60 Minutes interview that will air Sunday night. We've already heard the most notable statement coming from the help-me-out planned discussion with Mike Wallace. Clemens admits to being injected by former trainer Brian McNamee:

"Lidocaine and B-12. It’s for my joints, and B-12 I still take today."

It took him three weeks to come up with this admission? Sniff ... Sniff ... you smell that too? This is going to be a long, drawn out process of Roger slowly backing down and coming clean. Sad.

McNamee's attorney responded to these remarks:

"Brian has a master's degree in sports medicine," Ward told ESPN The Magazine's Shaun Assael. "He knows the difference between lidocaine, B-12 and testosterone. What he injected into Roger Clemens wasn't lidocaine or B-12. It was testosterone."

Roger's next response will be typical. "I didn't knowingly take testosterone. My trainer injected it without my permission."

2	It looks like Clemens is setting this up to be a "I didn't knowingly take steroids/hGH/PEDs," b/c I bet if there are lawsuits, McNamee's lawyers can prove that McNamee injected Clemens... but probably won't be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt what he was injected with.

2	Roger would've been a whole lot better off just admitting he took these injections and then having one of his media friends write about how this isn't that big of a deal because we still don't know half of what went on during this era.

Doe he think we are that stupid. He used to be one of my favorite players. I am tired of all the players that think they can get away with anything.
