Roger Clemens continues to profess his innocence that he has never used steroids. He has been on 60 minutes and now has had a press conference and released a tape with his former trainer to prove what he has said. Now I'm really torn on this one for a number of different reasons. I've always been a big fan of Roger Clemens but it seems there could be a lot of evidence that he has used them. The worse part about this whole story is no matter what Roger Clemens does he is always and forever going to be associated with steroids even if he is not guilty of it. It seems as a society we all rush to judge someone before we know the whole story. Even if Clemens is found to have never used them their still will be the cloud over his head. How much will it effect his hall-of-fame election is another story. He may not get in for awhile.
So this brings us is he being honest or not. Does it really matter in the end. People who think he is guilty aren't going to change their mind over a few press conferences or a tape being played. Clearing his name I think will never ever come as Clemens has been labeled a user and no matter what that will never change. He has been tried in the media and they very seldom reverse their opinions so it looks like no matter how much evidence Clemens produces it won't change the facts in many people's eyes. The best thing probably for Roger Clemens to do is not worry about it because you can never change what perception is.
