What now Roger?

From the time the Mitchell report came out, I really wanted to give Roger Clemens the benefit of the doubt. And even when we heard about the needles and other evidence that McNamee kept for years, I was very skeptical. But after the hearings and the subsequent information that has come out, I really have a hard time believing him. I could believe that McNamee is lying but not the trainers and staff from several teams. It is very sad because we know that famous athletes have admitted to things in the past and have been fogiven by the public. In Roger's case, it may have still let a bad taste in everyone's mouth and might have influenced how fast he would be inducted into the Hall of Fame but I think he ultimately would have been inducted. Now it is becoming probable that he will never make the Hall of Fame and instead of being any type of roll model for young baseball players, he becomes the example of what not to do and could face jail time. The worst part of this is the example that he sets for his own children if he is indeed guilty. This is where you have to admire Andy Pettite who came out and admitted to what he did! It is about time people started owning up to what they did rather than hiding it or blaming someone else.
