Clemens, Petite, and McNamee Invited to Capitol Hill

Posted by M. Patel under News 

Roger Clemens, Andy Petite, and Brian McNamee (the ex-trainer who accused the two pitchers) have been invited to testify before the congressional committee in regards to the Mitchell Report. The committee is the same group who Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, and Rafeal Palmeiro had testified in front of a few years back. They recently decided to hold a second day of hearings so that they could get varied perspectives on the issue. These testimonies will follow day one of the hearings in which George Mitchell, Bud Selig, and union leader Donald Fehr will officially report their findings and recommendations.

Retired Yankee Chuck Knoblauch and ex-Mets trainer Kirk Radomski (who also made accusations) will join Clemens, Petite, and McNamee as well. So far none of those invited for day two have confirmed that they will attend, but it is very likely that they will. Roger Clemens’ lawyer has specifically said that “Roger is willing to answer questions, including those posed to him while under oath.”

This whole situation has a very “soap opera” feeling to it in my opinion. I wonder how Roger Clemens will react when he sees McNamee. McNamee has said that he had personally injected steroids into Clemens, but the Rocket issued a statement this week saying that it was nothing more than vitamin b12 and Lidocaine (a common anesthetic used to relieve itching and pain from skin inflammation). I am personally sick of this whole thing; maybe it is because I don’t like soaps.

    I looked at this entire ordeal the same way as a kid would. It was harder for Petite to admit his mistake and earn GOD’s forgiveness, and he has, versus pouring more coals on the fire.

    This Congressional hearing feeds into the voting process in Texas as well. That is why democrats attacked Roger. He is a friend of President Bush Sr. and Jr. and a lot of other sick kids in Houston as he does a lot for them there.

    Just what kind of mind is examining the accused?
    Have they been tested to determine their drug useage Legal or Illegal? How do they justify that?

    Petite is forgiven and hopefully Roger will extend his hand to him for this test of faith.
