Thought the Brian McNamee-Roger Clemens circus was over? Not a chance.
Tests of syringes and other steroid paraphernalia that trainer Brian McNamee submitted to federal agents will test positive for Roger Clemens’ DNA, according to a brief filed in court by McNamee’s lawyers, ESPN reported.
Although there has been considerable speculation about the materials McNamee submitted to federal agent Jeff Novitzky in January, his attorneys had refused to discuss them publicly until the filing of the brief.
The brief, in support of McNamee’s attempt to obtain an early dismissal of a defamation case Clemens filed against him or have the case moved to New York, was filed in court on Tuesday.
The paraphernalia, including syringes and bloodied gauze pads, “will test positive for Clemens’s DNA,” the brief asserts. “Once the DNA results are revealed, there will be little dispute about who is telling the truth.”
This back and forth crap has to end. Let’s all hope something comes out of these tests so one of these guys can be called out for being the lying scumbag he is. (Let’s be honest though – they’re both lying scumbags no matter what the tests reveal.)
