Roger Clemens Still Says He's Never Done PEDs

Mike Golic opened the interview by asking if it was possible that prosecutors had paraphernalia used by his former trainer, Brian McNamee, to inject Clemens. He told the sports reporting duo "[It is] impossible because he has never given me [HGH or performance enhancing drugs]. It's as simple as that." Clemens declined to comment about his defamation suit against McNamee since the case is still ongoing despite some of the motions having been thrown out.

The former Astro did emphasize that he is trying to stay positive and "do the same things [he] always does." Mentoring young players - both at the collegiate level and younger - regarding skills and delivering a message that they should take care of their bodies and succeed through hard work instead of using PEDs.

Mike & Mike's audience was quick to email in their response to Clemens' statements. At that time, Golic mentioned that only one pro-Clemens response had been received; it focused on the lack of evidence in the case and lack of conviction. Both hosts were quick to point out that guilty in court was relatively irrelevant given that Clemens' case has always been a hot topic in the Court of Public Opinion in which he has been labeled guilty.

To those folks, Clemens' says, "all I can do is speak the truth and from my heart."
