Women, wine, and Winstrol...sounds like fun. Roger Clemens's fun might be stopping soon as women may lead to Winstrol as reported by the New York Times.
...significant than the defamation suit is the federal investigation into whether Clemens committed perjury in denying to Congress that he had used performance-enhancing drugs. And the several women who were linked to Clemens in articles that appeared in The Daily News last week could have an impact on that investigation.
Investigators will pursue the woman named in the New Daily News series to see if Clemens leaked any PED/steroid information to them. One of the key witnesses against Barry Bonds should be his ex-mistress Kimberly Bell. We may well hear one of Clemens's women testify against him someday too.
According to lawyers familiar with the matter, federal authorities will probably try to
question the women to see if they can link Clemens to the use of steroids and human growth hormone.
The lawyers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they did not want to comment publicly about a continuing investigation, said it was unclear if authorities would seek to question the women immediately.
One of Clemens's harem apparently snooped into his suitcases:
One of the women, Mindy McCready, a country singer, confirmed last week that she had had a longstanding relationship with Clemens. In a telephone interview Wednesday, her mother, Gayle Inge, said McCready’s lawyers had informed her that federal investigators would probably contact her.
Inge said she had asked her daughter whether she believed the allegations linking Clemens to performance-enhancing drugs. Her daughter replied that she did not.
“She said she’s looked in his suitcase and everything,” Inge said of her daughter, “and she’s never seen anything like that.”
The FBI and the FDA already began tracking down informants on Clemens's PED use, in the investigation into possible perjury. Sounds like they smell blood:
Two F.B.I. agents — one from Washington and the other from California — spent last week in Houston, where Clemens lives. While there, they questioned Shaun Kelley, a weight-loss center owner, about Clemens. Kelley said last week that the agents administered a lie-detector test and that he was certain that he had passed.
He has publicly denied knowing Clemens or providing him with drugs.
And two weeks ago, the Food and Drug Administration agent Jeff Novitzky and two other federal agents questioned José Canseco about his knowledge of Clemens’s activities.
In other Clemens news, the coach of USA Baseball says Clemens will not be considered for the roster. Their loss, Clemens could bring some fine women along to the games...
I fail to see the connection between Clemens personal life and whether he used steroids/hgh. Put it like this, nobody cared when Bill Clinton was busted for getting a hummer in the oval office---hell, he is applauded for it today.
Clemens didn't take steroids/HGH--------all of the evidence against him is just weak--------prove it or shut up. I'm so sick of the court of public opinion. People need to act somewhat like Americans and recognize that a man is innocent until proven guilty.
