buckbuster11 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Big mistake on our part folks. Here we thought Roger Clemens was injecting steroids. Turns out it was just vitamins. Gee, where have we heard BS like this before?? Roger Clemens says he was injected with "lidocaine and B-12" and not steroids or human growth hormone by former trainer Brian McNamee, according to a portion of an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" released Thursday. "Lidocaine and [vitamin] B-12. It's for my joints, and B-12 I still take today," Clemens told Mike Wallace in the interview, which is scheduled to be shown Sunday night. It is Clemens' first interview since the release of the Mitchell report in December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I buy it. I mean, this McNamee guy just has an axe to grind, that's all.:rolleyes::rolleyes::D:D I hope the Rocket gets jail time for perjury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_lou Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Can't you buy B-12 at Wal-Mart or any corner Walgreens? So why would you need to be injected with it? And if he still takes it today, who injects his backside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 B-12 injections are WAY more potent than a tablet you can buy over the counter. It's used for people who are having issues with low energy etc... Seeing how old the Rocket is, no doubt he was getting B-12 and lidocaine shots (used for arthritis). That would make sense, just like it would also make sense that he was receivinig HGH shots along with all that. But, I can see his defense attorney talking to him now. "Just say you knowingly were receiving the B-12 and lidocaine, but you in no way wanted, or knowingly took HGH- we'll blame that on the McNamee guy." You know, the ole' Barry Bonds defense. It's going to be fun watching ole' Rogery tell bold-faced lies to Mike Wallace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I thought it was funny...he was asked if his TRAINER ever injected him with roids and his reply was "never". He wasn't asked if "HE" injected them himself...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Kind of like Palmaro saying he never took steriods (while pointing his finger to the panel). Then is the first player busted... that was incredible!!!!! I'm a BIG Clemens fan and it pains me to see this go down. What a shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
