Report: Clemens' Lawyer Claims He Passed Steroid Test In '03
Posted: 11:44 pm PDT July 3, 2009
New York, NY -- (Sports Network) - Seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens was reportedly not among the 100-plus players who tested positive for performance-enhancing substances in 2003, when the league conducted an anonymous drug test throughout the league.According to a report in the New York Times, Clemens' lead lawyer, Rusty Hardin, said he acquired the results of the test that found the pitcher to have tested negative. While the test results were supposed to remain anonymous, Hardin claimed that Clemens waived that right and requested the results. Several names have been leaked from the list, such as current Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who has since admitted his usage of PEDs. The assertions that Clemens tested negative in 2003 will have no bearing on his current legal troubles involving former Yankees trainer Brian McNamee. In the Mitchell Report, which was released in 2007 in an attempt to discover how prevalent PEDs were in baseball, McNamee claimed he injected Clemens with several substances from 1998-2001. The trainer did not make any claims about 2003. The supposed negative test result was not entered into evidence as part of the case. Clemens has come under much scrutiny for his steadfast denial of PEDs following his exit from baseball after the 2007 season. Regardless of whether he used or not, he put up tremendous career statistics, compiling a 354-184 record with a 3.12 earned run average in 24 seasons with Boston, New York, Toronto and Houston. Clemens currently ranks third all-time with 4,672 career strikeouts.
