BroDeal said:It can easily be over. All Clemens needs to do is stop lying. Same goes for Armstrong.
JRTinMA said:It's just stupid, he lied about using peds in a game full of dopers. Let the guy get on with living his life, he wasn't out there promoting how clean he was or selling hope to cancer survivors. He played by the same rules as all the others.
Reminds me of a poster once that tried to start new on the forum, assumed a new identity and even dropped British slang to cover his tracks. Guy just wanted to get back to posting after he swore he never would again so he created an alt and lied about his past. It happens.

MarkvW said:Anybody else lies to Congress, they risk prosecution. Nice to know Mr. Baseball Doper doesn't get a free pass simply because of his (dope-aided) sporting achievements!
JRTinMA said:He achieved quite a bit before he ever took a drug. I guess you want to ignore that part with or you are ignorant to his success.

haha...great try.
BroDeal said:Clemens is likely to be just like Armstrong, someone whose entire career is based on drugs. Do you think that Clemens woke up one day in 1998 and said to himself, "Hey, I should start using steroids."
Merckx index said:You might have a little better argument with Bonds (or Bill Clinton, for that matter). Clemens volunteered to testify before Congress. Unlike Bonds, McGwire, and several other MLB players, he wasn't compelled to do so. He did it because he wanted to squelch all the rumors and gossip that he was a doper. So he in fact was out there promoting himself as clean. He was selling himself as different in a game full of dopers. He very specifically rejected such common responses as "no comment", "I never tested positive", "I didn't do anything that everyone else didn't do," or "I was a great pitcher even before the steroid era."
There is lying to avoid having people know for sure the worst about you, and then there is lying to con people into thinking the best about you. Sort of the same difference between Ulle and LA, when you think about it.
MarkvW said:Yeah! I do want to ignore it. His athletic skill has NOTHING to do with his lie to Congress. Do you want all jocks to get a get out of jail free pass? Should anybody be allowed to lie to Congress?
