Nice timing from the powers that be to release this information on the quietest sports news day of the year. One of Roger Clemens' old pals stopped misremembering and provided the government with shipping evidence that he sent HGH to the Rocket's Houston home in 2002 and 2003. The New York Daily News reports:
According to sources with close knowledge of the investigation, Radomski has discovered shipping receipts for a package of two kits of human growth hormone that he sent in late 2002 or 2003 to Clemens at the pitcher's palatial mansion in Houston. Radomski is believed to have also provided the government with new information and receipts for drug shipments to other players.On the one day of the year without any baseball, it looks like we won't be getting a reprieve from Roger Clemens.
According to the sources, the timing of the shipment to Clemens' home coincides roughly with the dates when Clemens' wife, Debbie, used human growth hormone in preparation for her participation in a pictorial in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. They also expect the evidence to corroborate McNamee's claims that Clemens was behind his wife's use and was present when McNamee injected her just after the drugs arrived at the couple's home.
What to make of this latest news? For me, it's just another damning piece of evidence that further confirms Roger continues to embarrass himself and sadly, lied under oath. Even sadder, because of his immense wealth, he likely will dodge the most severe punishment and presumably avoid any at all.
I realize there's still some of you out there who believe Clemens has only been telling the truth. To those of you, what's your response to Radomski's shipping receipts?
