The Mitchell Report controversy and the Yankees
| The Mitchell Report came out in early December and big and small names have been the center of controversy in America’s pastime. Well truthfully the most mentioned people from the report are Roger Clemens and his teammate Andy Pettitte.Pettitte confessed to his two-time illegal steriod use but Clemens denied any allegations. Pettitte told the media how Clemens told him of his steroid and HGH use. Clemens said that Pettitte misheard him.
Brian McNamee, the former trainer of Roger Clemens, story strikes a very similar resemblance to Andy Pettitte’s. It is very strange to see how or why Pettitte and McNamee would be lying on him. If anything it’s Clemens lying to protect his image. It’s very surprising how Clemens taped McNamee without him knowing it and he still didn’t get a reaction out of him that would tell people that he lied. Something sounded fishy. McNamee seemed to be the one telling the truth. Even when the Congressional hearing took place some weeks ago, both parties of Clemens and McNamee contradicted their own testimonies. Even with all the lying that went on, McNamee still is the one that most people believe. One thing that many media people have agreed on is that if Roger Clemens and/or Andy Pettitte come back to Yankee stadium, the Yankees fans will show their support with New York Yankees merchandise with their names on it. If Clemens wants to restore his image, he will have to prove that he is telling the truth or McNamee is lying. It’s just that simple. |
