The regular denials by athletes accused of using anabolic steroids and growth hormone has become relatively commonplace and quite boring. So, I didn’t expect much from Mike Wallace’s 60 Minutes interview of baseball player Roger Clemens (who was accused by trainer Brian McNamee of using testosterone and growth hormone in the Mitchell Report). But I was pleasantly surprised when Clemens offered “proof” that he never used steroids or GH. If he did use the alleged performance enhancing drugs…
- He would have grown a “third ear out of his head”;
- He would have been able to “pull a tractor with his teeth”;
- His tendons would have “turned to dust”;
- His body would have experienced a “breakdown”; and
- He would have lost “flexibility”
Since none of these things happened, that must be proof positive that he never used steroids or growth hormone!!
