There's nothing more than heresay from a very shaky witness and a very old conversation which may or may not have been misheard/misunderstood from 8 or 9 years ago. There is no physical evidence.
I'm not saying Clemens is clean. I'm saying that there should be a higher burden of "proof" for this to have been included in the Mitchell Report. |

Neither have appeared credible today and both come across like liars.

Pettite's has a recollection of a very old conversation, which he may or may not have understood Clemens correctly. Regardless, he is not a first hand witness of any drug administration. So it remains a he-said/he-said case. I've heard nothing today that has solidified either side's case. It's just a jumbled mess. |

Man, I can see why these guys aren't practicing lawyers. Their cross-x technique is horrible. This Davis clown begins by asking about the Tampa trip. Mcnamee says he isn't sure if it was Tampa, and Davis says he doesn't really care about the Tampa angle and then proceeds to base his whole line of questioning on the fact that the abscess could not have been caused by an injection in Tampa due to the timing of the team's trip there. Whatever.

Mitchell Report associate is rightfully getting blasted for not seeking out any number of other witnesses to verify the details of Clemens' attendance at the Canseco BBQ. The threshold of "proof" for inclusion in the Mitchell Report was simply too low.

I still think Pettite's testimony is at least slightly damaging. The chance of Pettite getting confused about which Clemens, man or wife, was actually taking the HGH seem pretty slim. I think most of us would remember the man considered one of the greatest pitchers of all time telling us he was using HGH. |

At the very least, it calls into question the level of thoroughness in which this investigation was conducted.
