Brian McNamee told congressional investigators he injected Roger Clemens' wife with human growth hormone as she prepared for a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition photo session five years ago, the New York Daily News reported Friday.

McNamee testified during his Capitol Hill deposition on Thursday that he injected Debbie Clemens at her husband's direction, the News said on its Web site, citing an unidentified Washington source.
Or can you...

Yes, more bizarre stuff.
I noted this quote from McNamee attorney:

"McNamee's attorneys, Richard Emery, Earl Ward and Mark Paoletta, said Friday they have not discussed or released their client's testimony and will not do so.

'The issue is Roger Clemens and his use of steroids and why he's not telling the truth,' Emery said. 'The issue is not Debbie Clemens.'"

Does that seem like McNamee's counsel is trying to distance himself from the Debbie allegation?  I wonder if McNamee has become a loose cannon who can't be controlled by his attorneys?

As for telling the truth....The Mitchell Report says that McNamee did not discuss PEDs with Clemens after 2001.  Yet, this event supposedly occurred in 2003.

This is just getting insane...
I can't wait for real baseball to make this type of stuff go away.

But WHERE did he inject her?

I mean, I've seen photos. That's a healthy woman.

Some things to keep in mind:
  1. Comments that leak from closed hearings aren't always accurate, and sometimes are total misrepresentations.
  2. Congress is predisposed to believe McNamee because of the corroboration of his assertions provided by Andy and because of Congress' respect for Mitchell.
  3. As crazy as it may sound for McNamee to have saved junk syringes and other items, it's even more crazy that Roger would have saved a greens fee receipt from 1998 to prove he was out playing golf and wasn't at the party where he and McNamee and others allegedly discussed steroids.
  4. Let's just wait until Wednesday when the hearings are public and we know for sure what each party is claiming.  If there are major contradictions, Roger's approach will likely have bought him a Congressional investigation, regardless of whether he is right or wrong.
  5. The Clemens thing doesn't really matter to the Astros with respect to future games.  The fun really begins when (if) Tejada returns to the U.S.
Don't ever lie to Congress; you can't beat them at their own game.

Receipt?
I hadn't heard that yet, but if that's true that he actually has "the receipt" from when he went and played golf... that's kind of questionable.. now if it turns out it's on his bank statement that he played golf that day... now that's another story.

I've also heard that Clemens has an affidavit from Canseco stating that Clemens wasn't at said meeting... and being that Canseco has turned out to be one of the most honest people in this situation... well...

Go 'Stros!

Clemens' lawyers....
also found videotape at the time in which the Yankees' announcers talk about Conseco's party and note that Clemens wasn't there because they saw him playing golf instead.  I don't know much about the green fee receipt.  Might someone conceivably consider it as tax deductible and retain it for that reason?  (I suppose it would have to be a "business expense.")  Maybe IRS agent Novizky finally has something to examine. :)  Also, I didn't read the reports that closely, but is it possible that a receipt was recovered after the fact from the golf course?
