Houstonist: Interview: Roger Clemens

Woo-hoo..."big fat mess”.

You have stated that you never took HGH. However, your wife has admitted she took HGH and that that drug was provided by Brian McNamee. Are you saying that he was an adviser of yours and you let him give your wife a performance enhancing drug that you have never taken?

First, I did not “let” Brian McNamee inject my wife. As I stated in the congressional deposition, I was not at home when the incident took place. All you have to do is read — just go to the congressional website and spend some time reading.

Why do you believe that Mr. McNamee brought these allegations against you?

I believe I do know why he made the allegations, but I am holding on to that due to ongoing litigation.

From your perspective, please describe what a realistic, positive ending to this story would be. And, if I may follow up, what actions are you taking to see that this comes to pass?

Well, I’m hoping to be able to clear my name. If I’m given the opportunity, at least I’ll know I’ve done everything I could. All I can do is try to work through the legal system.
