Here are some links around the web with additional news and reactions to today’s release of The Mitchell Report.
McNamee said he injected the steroids into Clemens’ buttocks after the Jays returned home from a trip to Florida. Up to that point Clemens was 6-6 with a 3.27 ERA. After that he was literally unbeatable: 14-0 with a 2.29 ERA. Think steroids work?
Attorney for Roger Clemens claims ’slander’.
“I have great respect for Sen. Mitchell,” Hardin said in the statement. “I think an overall look at this problem in baseball was an excellent idea.
“But I respectfully suggest it is very unfair to include Roger’s name in this report. He is left with no meaningful way to combat what he strongly contends are totally false allegations. He has not been charged with anything, he will not be charged with anything and yet he is being tried in the court of public opinion with no recourse. That is totally wrong.”

So, why NOW does Major League Baseball decide to take “action”?
I find it coincidental that after Bonds breaks the all-time homerun record and the popularity of baseball rises, the commissioner decides to take a stance. At this point baseball can do no wrong.

Yankees strength coach Brian McNamee supplied Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte with steroids.
“Clemens asked McNamee to inject him with Winstrol, which Clemens supplied,” the report says, using the brand name for the anabolic steroid stanozolol. “McNamee injected Clemens approximately four times in the buttocks over a several-week period with needles that Clemens provided. Each incident took place in Clemens’s apartment at the SkyDome.”
The report further states that, after the Blue Jays traded Clemens to the New York Yankees in 1999, Clemens persuaded the Yankees to hire McNamee in 2000. According to the report, during that season McNamee injected Clemens with steroids and HGH, both four to six times, and also injected him with steroids four to five times in 2001.
McNamee traveled to Tampa at Pettitte’s request and spent about ten days assisting Pettitte with his rehabilitation. McNamee recalled that he injected Pettitte with human growth hormone that McNamee obtained from Radomski on two to four occasions. Pettitte paid McNamee for the trip and his expenses; there was no separate payment for the human growth hormone.
