He was on Howard Stern's Show this morning and I would have to say that he fits the true definition of a scumbag. The interview was pretty boring for the most part. He did throw in some craziness about Clemens and all of his "women"...

Yet Clemens considered him as a friend at one point, probably around the same time he was pursuing 15 year old Mindy McCready. Wonder what that says about him?

I finally have a second to put some of the highlights of the interview on here...

 

McNamee was allegedly involved in some kind of date rape investigation which involved a woman that took some sort of date rape drug. McNamee's story is that he was trying to help her out of a swimming pool or something. Anyways, he was fired by the Yankees after that. Clemens then was a good enough friend to hire McNamee personally and pay him a full-time salary to be his personal trainer. He was also hired by Andy Pettite. In his own words, he was busted in the investigation because he was dumb enough to buy steroids and HGH with personal checks. He says the players would wire him the money to his banking account and he would then write his own checks to pay the dealer (which was the BALCO guy).

 

He openly says in the interview that he injected Clemens and Pettite. When asked if the needles could have been used for vitamins or pain relievers, he said "the investigators probably have the means to determine what was in the needles and I'll leave it at that..."

 

He couldn't/didn't say very much about the case. He did say that he injected Clemens' wife with steroids, as well. He claims that Clemens had plenty of women on the road including "strippers and groupies". He also suspects that baseball is going to get quite a shock this week or next when the next list of names comes out.

 

Other than that, it was a whole lot of can't comment and those are your words and not mine...Stern drilled him constantly about Clemens being a good friend to him and then he turned around and ratted on Clemens.

Low life people tend to hang with other low life people. McNamee and Clemens were a good fit for each other. It's just that Clemens was able to keep his image clean for quite a while.

I'm not going to get down on Clemens or anyone else involved with steroids, because the bottom line is that they didn't do anything wrong. There was nothing illegal done by any of them. The way they have handled it has been a little sketchy (at least the way most of them have handled it).

Steroids were and are illegal, so yes there wasn't illegal done by them.

Steroids weren't against the rules of MLB. But they were/are illegal.

There were no laws governing the use of steroids in baseball. The only law that was broken was when they revealed medical documentation that was supposed to be sealed away and destroyed.

Here you go:

In the U.S., anabolic steroids are currently listed as Schedule III controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act, which makes the possession of such substances without a prescription a federal crime punishable by up to seven years in prison

This sounds suspiciously close to illegal to me. :sssh:

That's fine. Then put 104 MLB players in jail and be done with it. That isn't happening though.

The laws of our country make it illegal to take steroids without a valid prescription, which ol' Roger did not have. Baseball cannot make the laws of our country less strict - by that, I mean that baseball, even if they wanted to (and, truth be told, they would actually prefer it this way) could not make steroids legal to use without a prescription.

 

Back in 2003, baseball did have rules saying players could not use steroids without a valid prescription. Unfortunately, because they weren't really serious about fixing the problem, they had no penalties in place for those who were caught using. In fact, those that did test positive were the beneficiaries of a little secret agreement between the union and the league office not to tell anyone. :sssh:

There are no LAWS now governing the use of steroids in baseball except the ones making them illegal. And those were in place in 2003.

Like I said then, I want to see everyone in MLB that used steroids behind bars.

Here's more about McNamee's appearance today:

Dude, which is it? You want them all punished or don't blame any of them??? :idunno: :confused:
