POPSPerspective on Derek Jeter and steroids I totally agree with this - there is no way in my mind that Derek ever did steroids. If it turned out that he did, i would be extremely shocked and saddened. I admire the way he handles himself tremendously.

POPSClemens's DNA Is Linked to Syringes Clemens and his defense team have long challenged McNamee's credibility, saying the former trainer has lied about the pitcher's alleged drug use. They also have said that McNamee may have cooked up the evidence. Yesterday, Rusty Hardin, Clemens's Houston-based defense attorney, said the DNA tests "won't matter at all." ad_icon "It will still be evidence fabricated by McNamee," Hardin said. "I would be dumbfounded if any responsible person ever found this to be reliable or credible evidence in any way." Clemens voluntarily gave a DNA sample to federal authorities, who are conducting the genetic tests, the sources said.

POPSCongress and Steroids Please somebody tell me that this is a judicial issue and not a congressional issue. Congress obviously does not know what they are doing. Leave no incumbent in office.

POPSFormer NYPD Police Officer Injects Clemens with Steroids
It will be quite some time before ESPN admits that a former police officer asserted that he personally injected Roger Clemens in the butt with steroids. Safe yourself some time. Download the PDF, use the search function and see for yourself. From the Mitchell Report: Toward the end of the road trip which included the Marlins series, or shortly after the Blue Jays returned home to Toronto, Clemens approached McNamee and, for the first time, brought up the subject of using steroids. Clemens said that he was not able to inject himself, and he asked for McNamee’s help. Later that summer, Clemens asked McNamee to inject him with Winstrol, which Clemens supplied. McNamee knew the substance was Winstrol because the vials Clemens gave him were so labeled. McNamee injected Clemens approximately four times in the buttocks over a several-week period with needles that Clemens provided. Each incident took place in Clemens’s apartment at the SkyDome. McNamee never asked Clemens where he o

POPSI Lost My Son to a War I Oppose. We Were Both Doing Our Duty. Additional remarks from the Author. Money buys access and influence. Money greases the process that will yield us a new president in 2008. When it comes to Iraq, money ensures that the concerns of big business, big oil, bellicose evangelicals and Middle East allies gain a hearing. By comparison, the lives of U.S. soldiers figure as an afterthought. Memorial Day orators will say that a G.I.'s life is priceless. Don't believe it. I know what value the U.S. government assigns to a soldier's life: I've been handed the check. It's roughly what the Yankees will pay Roger Clemens per inning once he starts pitching next month. I know that my son did his best to serve our country. Through my own opposition to a profoundly misguided war, I thought I was doing the same. In fact, while he was giving his all, I was doing nothing. In this way, I failed him.

POPSYankees making a mistake with Roger Clemens So the Yankees, desperate to somehow save their season have signed Roger Clemens to a massive contract to pitch the rest of this year. That alone, in my opinion, was a mistake. But the thing that really bothers me about it is that he doesn't have to be with the team on day's he's not pitching. Making this exception for one player is a really bad idea in my opinion. The most underrated aspect of team sports is chemistry. So many teams are relatively evenly matched when it comes to talent, that it comes down to a bit of luck and team chemistry to make the difference. The great Yankeee teams of the late 90s had that. In recent years they have totally gotten away from that. This agreement with Clemens totally epitomizes that.
