Let''s see. A second CIA drug plane crashed this year and is linked linked to the owner of the Texas Rangers and Bush''s re-election and we get a story about steroid use in baseball or Brittney Spears is released from the hospital.

The head of Mexican civial aviation is assinated on his way to work and the tortured bodies of 3 airport workers found along the road and we get steroids.

Dear CBS - Please try to show more courage, intelligence and integrity like the bloggers.
A story that matters can be found at a blog here:

I believe Roger, I do feel that he didn''t use steroids solely by his review. If you watched him play in recent games, you would see how clean he is when you see how he throws a ball, etc.. I for one, believe him, and he has my respect.

This brings me to the subject of Andy Petite - now he''s lying when he says he only used HGH twice while rehabing from an injury. You don''t recover from an injury by injecting HGH twice. I''m sure that Petite used HGH during his entire rehab...

This whole subject, and most of Americas ignorance and belief in the *** our govenment puts out is a joke to me. I just don''t understand... Maybe someone out there can help me with that.

In my eyes, Roger Clemens is innocent until someone proves him guilty. If you want to convict someone in the court of public opinion, convict Barry Bonds! Barry Bonds probably wasn''t lying when he stated that he never took steriods and I belive that he didn''t - HE TOOK HGH AND HE TOOK A LOT OF IT! That''s why he never failed a test and that''s why his skull grew. Take a look at a picture of Barry Bonds head in 1998 and then in 2005. I''ve seen it for myself - THE ONLY SUBSTANCE CAPABLE OF DOING THAT IS HGH!

Get a clue America and stop letting our government and the media force-feed you what they want you to believe!

I just got done watching Mike Wallace'' interview of Roger Clemens and I have to say that I am quite amazed at the level of ignorance of the American public and that of Mike Wallace.

First, I totally agree with Roger Clemens that he deserves the benefit of the doubt when being accused. One has to consider the source of the Mitchell Report''s findings... Brian McNamee a man who was probably bullied into providing names to the government in order to obtain a lighter sentence for his wrongdoings...

Second, not one time during Roger Clemens career di he fail a drug test for steriods or other substances banned by MLB. There is no physical proof that Roger Clemens ever took steroids or human growth hormone - only the word of a soon-to-be-convicted felon trying to save his own *** at the expense of others.

Furthermore, has anyone stopped to think about this small little facts... The Mitchell Report states that Brian McNamee injected Rodger Clemens with winstrol 4 times during the 1998 season and testosterone and HGH 4 to 6 times each during the 2000 season... I''m sorry but any jackass knows that these drugs do nothing to anyone buy using them 4 to 6 times over the course of a season. In order for those drugs, especially HGH, to provide ANY benefit the user must use them on a daily basis.

As a Baseball fan who has watched Clemens for many years I would say give the guy a break. Yes he pitched better in his early 40''s than most players in their 20''s but it''s not unheard of for a extremely talented player like Clemens. Nolan Ryan pitched well into his 40''s and no one ever questions his record, even though he was able to throw much harder than Clemens ever did. Yes it''s unusual to have a career that lasts that long, but it''s not impossible.

As far as the lie detector goes, as a police officer who works criminal investigations I can tell you that all they are really good for is scaring confessions out of people. Many studies have shown that they really aren''t accurate at all, despite what some polygraphers will tell you. Not only are they overly sensitive to someone who is simply nervous or excited, but they can be easily manipulated by someone who knows how. If I were ever asked to take one, I''d refuse because I know how useless they are in actually determining if a person is truthful or not. If I were Clemens I would not take one and just testify honestly in the Congressional hearing if he is being honest.

Baseball should govern baseball. With all that goes on in this world we are accepting only hearsay from a person that should be more worried and active in the illegal drugs coming in hourly & the corruptions taking place in government affairs. Shame on us for giving Mitchell the time of day on this. A person is innocent until proven guilty in this country. I believe you Mr. Clemons, and I thank you for all of your hard work.
