Republicans issue new Clemens report (109 pages)

Roger Clemens got some new Republican support in his dispute with Brian McNamee.

Reprising the partisan nature of last month's congressional hearing that examined whether the seven-time Cy Young Award winner took performance-enhancing drugs, the leading Republican on the committee that heard testimony from Clemens and McNamee released a report Tuesday questioning some of the Democratic majority's findings.

The 109-page report "seeks to dispel conclusions that may have resulted from an incomplete consideration of the full record" and contains details Rep. Tom Davis believes could challenge the credibility of McNamee, the personal trainer who testified under oath he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone from 1998-01.

Minority staff from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will pass along additional information to the Justice Department. The FBI is investigating whether Clemens testified truthfully to Congress.

"Did Roger Clemens lie to us?" Davis said in a release accompanying the report.

"Some of the evidence seems to say he did; other information suggests he told the truth," the Virginia Republican said. "It's a far more complicated picture than some may want to believe. Memories fade and recollections differ. That's human nature, not criminal conduct."

1. He either lied
or has the tastiest lips in baseball. Maybe we should let FOX reality TV decide!

2. Sweet Anabolic Jesus, what a waste of time.
The Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 1990 is the biggest joke in "the war on drugs" to this day.

More action taken against Roger Clemens than George W. Bush. Because anabolics are more important than an illegal occupation of a country.
