Clemens Trial a Story of 2 Friends Turned Enemies

Strip away the legalese and the trial of Roger Clemens is a tale of two
men: the baseball star and his trainer. The pair rose together to the
heights of their professions only to become bitter enemies who destroyed
each other's reputations as stand-up family men who were the best at what
they did.
.
The mutual damage is bound to get worse over the next few weeks as the
retired pitcher is tried on charges he lied to Congress when he denied
ever using performance-enhancing drugs. Clemens' former trainer, Brian
McNamee, says he repeatedly injected his big-name client with steroids and
human growth hormone and even saved some of the needles and gauze.
.
Clemens says McNamee is a liar who fabricated the evidence with designs on
blackmailing him. McNamee says Clemens "has led a full-court attack on my
credibility."
.
Since McNamee's allegations were revealed in December 2007 with the
publication of an investigative report for Major League Baseball, Clemens'
Hall of Fame prospects have been destroyed. His image as a devoted husband
and father of four has been tarnished by reports of a list of other women
on the road.
.
McNamee has been accused of worse than infidelity. Clemens' lawyers claim
they have evidence their client's chief accuser sexually assaulted an
unconscious woman after giving her a date rape drug.
.
"I trusted him, put my faith in him and brought him around my family and
my children," Clemens said in congressional testimony during his last
public face-off with McNamee in 2008. Clemens' denials of McNamee's
accusations under oath before Congress are what led to the criminal
charges he faces at trial in federal court in the District of Columbia.
.
"McNamee was good at what he did helping me exercise, diet and stay in
shape," Clemens told lawmakers. "We shared an interest in grueling,
military-style workouts, but I never asked him nor did he ever give me
steroids or human growth hormone. I had no idea that this man would
exploit the trust I gave him to try to save his own skin by making up lies
that have devastated me and my family."
.
It's a long fall from their decade-long friendship built in big league
clubhouses and weight rooms. They were bound from the time after they
first met in 1998, when McNamee got a job as the strength and conditioning
coach for the Toronto Blue Jays, Clemens' team at the time.
