Guest Blog by: SSR

Andy Pettitte, pitcher for the New York Yankees and long time friend of Roger Clemens, provided a deposition before Congress last week on the use of performance enhancing drugs - steroids. Pettitte admitted to using human growth hormone (HGH) between 2002-2004. Pettitte also provided information that Roger Clemens had talked about steroid use in the past. There were a lot of reports that Andy Pettitte's father received the human growth hormone from a guy Andy Pettitte went to high school with. More and more people keep getting drawn into the steroid controversy.

I think if Roger Clemens were to come clean and admit that he used steroids, everyone could move on. His wife was accused and has since admitted using human growth hormone to look good before posing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue 4 years ago. Pettitte was forced to betray his friend and now Roger's wife has been linked. The longer this goes on, the more people won't believe a word Roger says and more people will be hurt. All he has to say is; it was 10 years ago, it was a mistake and I regret doing it. His character has already been questioned and not many people seem to believe him so I think he is better off just admitting it.

I totally agree, he needs to come out and say it. He is saying that he regrets doing it so doesn't that sound like he is guilty. Come on if he said that he was sorry then he is pretty much saying yes. So Roger just say it and stop wasting TV time.

i really don't know what modivation his friend (Pettitt) would have to lie about clemens. unless he comes up with undisputable evidence that proves he didnt take steroids, his legacy is tarnished. guilty untill proven innocent in his case.

I have a pretty good feeling that Clemens is guilty of it but what if for some strange reason he didn't take any. I know its a long shot but should he admit to something even if he didn't do it just to put it to rest. I do think the guy is guilty though and I think he has even been on them in more recent years. At his age and still throwing as fast as he does I think there is something helping him.

Mystery blogger--

Good, good . . . where's the picture?

The length and format of the blog seem similar to the rest on the page, but I think the style is pretty different.
