It’s pretty much over for Roger Clemens. Rep. Elijah Cummings put Maryland on the political map with his badgering of the Rocket, and despite the efforts of other fawning committee members, Roger Clemens is about to get busted for steroids on the premise of a party.
Well, not just a party at Jose Conseco’s crib, but some other stuff, too. Namely,
• whether McNamee injected Clemens with Lidocaine in 1998;
• whether Clemens received pain injections from trainers on all four of his major league teams;
• whether he regularly received vitamin B-12 injections from team doctors and trainers;
• whether he ever talked with Mr. McNamee about HGH;
• and whether he ever received notice that Mitchell asked to meet with him in connection with his independent investigation of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball.
It looks awfully bad for Roger right about now. His best buddy and his former trainer have all but sealed his fate as a liar and a cheater. And depending on how the Justice Department feels, they might just make him out to be a criminal.
