  1. Quoted post said:

    Roger Clemens’s former trainer has told federal authorities investigating Clemens for perjury that Clemens’s nonprofit organization paid him for his training services, including the performance-enhancing drugs he said he provided Clemens, according to several people briefed on the investigation.

    The trainer, Brian McNamee, told the authorities that payments were made from the Roger Clemens Foundation between 1998 and 2001, during which McNamee said he routinely injected Clemens with steroids, the people said.

    Since 1998, the foundation, which was created in 1992 to aid children’s educational and athletic organizations, has raised more than a million dollars through public contributions, fund-raising events and auctions, according to federal tax documents.

  2. Report: Roger Clemens to be indicted for perjury - MLB - SI.com

    Talk about dragging your feet on a matter, but 'better late than never'...

    Anyway, this development will not be good for Barry Bonds, nor Mr. Lance Armstrong...

    Welcome to 2007 Tony.

    Home run king Barry Bonds indicted on perjury charges - CNN.com

    Barry Bonds was indicted for perjury and obstruction 3 years ago and there was supposedly way more proof via the BALCO investigation against Bonds and what has happened since then? They can't even get the case to court - the date for that has pushed back until spring 2011 at the earliest.

    I'm done explaining every little step I take to the above bone-head. Every day another boner for this pinhead - just doesn't stop. If only he could ride a bike...

    For his edification, I ALREADY knew Bonds had been indicted. My comment had NOTHING to do wrt an indictment of Bonds.
    Newsflash: and for the bonehead's record, Lance Armstrong HAS NOT been indicted - YET.

    The anonomous pissants have really emerged from the peanut gallery the last day or so - must be a full moon...😄

    So, mr infinite wisdom, why would Clemens being indicted be bad news for Bonds?

    Answer... It wouldn't. Not in the slightest... If anything the Bonds case should give hope to Clemens that he ain't gonna end up in court anytime soon. Supposedly there's more than one source of evidence, including lab records, to perjure Bonds to hell and back and they've tried getting the case into court for 3 years.

    Time for you to come out with another asinine coment to try and evade the arguement just like your buddy Chapeau.

  6. I know, you've demonstrated enough times that you're slow on the uptake so I'll help again...

    You obviously have no conceptual clue, but negative public opinion w.r.t. these three is gaining momentum and rolling. With this indictment of Clemens, Bonds' name will continuously be linked and discussed - much more often now. Case in point is a local radio show that apparently could not air their story on the Clemens development without mentioning the Bonds situation as well. Same association is going on in all media outlets - and obviously you know public opinion means nothing...If you still can't comprehend, too bad as I've done all I'm gonna do...😉

  7. Like I just said above - Bonds will named every time Clemens gets discussed...

    Clemens gives 1st interview since being indicted on charges he lied to US Congress - News1130

    Now get off your a$$ and go ride your bike...

  8. And another: Roger Clemens indicted for perjury: Is prison in The Rocket's future?

    No need to go any further. Shouldn't have been necessary to start but for a rather slow-witted member of this forum who requires individual and undivided attention constantly...

  9. Man, cross the 49th parallel and time stands immortal. Total 'news' filter that border. Better late than never. Anyway...

    JUST found out the US Government totally threw (pun intended) the case against Clemens out the window with the bath water.
    Introducing already judge-decreed inadmissable evidence in the initial days of the trial?! Are you serious?! NO ONE can tell me that that wasn't purposely done. Over two years of compiling a case and you do this?? The whole affair reeks of sweaty, backroom politics. Did the "prosecutors", and I use that term loosely, lose their jobs over this? Doesn't appear so. If this were a La Cosa Nostra case I could much more readily see this development, but since when has Clemens been in the Mafia? Those "prosecutors" were definitely paid-off to pull that mulligan off.

    Let me get this straight again: the judge tells you long beforehand the hearsay 'evidence' is inadmissable, and you put it before the jury on the second day of the trial with the judge sitting right there, anyway?! Intentional - nothing else explains the level of stupidity by these federal attorneys - aren't these supposed to be smart guys???? Incredible!

    Supposed to be a hearing today to determine if the government will re-try this case. I'll be very suprised if they do. And if they don't, Lance Armstrong can definitely look forward to having an easy street when his turn comes up. I foresee this scenario replaying for him. Boy, how stupid people can be when they desire to never ceases to amaze me...
