The NY Yankee Ace, Roger "The Rocket" Clemens, has now been defamed by his once trusty trainer, Brian McNamee. The man who provenly lied to us all about Clemens having an abscess, when in fact he did not. This is only one McNamee lie amongst many.
The Mitchell Report 's title page falsely reads "An Independent Investigation on Illegal Steroid Use in Baseball." Independent it was not, rather it was Selig ordered, Baseball enabled and Federally investigated all under the watchful eye of the Boston Red Sox's Legal Consultant, and ex Senate Big Whig, George Mitchell.
McNamee testified to Congress, under sworn oath to tell the truth, as "never being under duress, and never under any pressure", and was ordered by Mitchell "not to minimize, nor exaggerate, but be forthcoming." During the continuous interrogations accomplished by the Investigating Authorities, Brian McNamee was indeed "under duress, and under pressure." Brian McNamee was so affected, "it made him sick", and he was hospitalized due to stress ."
Brian McNamee stated that Roger Clemens had an abscess from an injection of steroids that McNamee "illegally administered" which was hurried. Afterwards, McNamee contends, Clemens quit using steroids, the result of a "botched injection."
........................................................................................................................................................
According to McNamee, his injury causing mishap ("botched injection") happened:
1) Sometime after Canseco's Party (JUNE 8th through 10th, 1998),
2.) After the Marlins stand (JUNE 8th through the 10th)
4.) In either the Sky Dome (according to the Mitchell Report),
a.) Or in Tampa Bay Rays' Clubhouse (June 15th through the 17th, 1998, per McNamee's deposition).
5.) There were 4 to 5 injections by McNamee (according to the Mitchell Report),
a.) Or 16 injections (according to McNamee's deposition).
6.) The Blue Jays Trainers knew about "the abscess" of which McNamee claims to have caused while "in a rush."
And, # 7)After the "injury" Clemens gave him the contraband, told him to get rid of it, and McNamee gave it to Canseco.
a.) Clemens quit at this point, according to McNamee in both the Mitchell Report, and his deposition, now with varying dates.
1.) Mitchell Report Date Given- after Canseco's party (June 1998), OR the Injury date which the trainers knew about from a botched injection, (July 1998).
2). Deposition Date Given - early September, 1998.
These allegations are completely false as the time-line, McNamee's own words, an uncontroverted MRI, Medical and Injury Reports, Trainers' and Expert testimony can prove.

According to Dr. Ron Taylor, The Toronto Blue Jays Chief Physician, who was also threatened with jail time for knowingly making false official statements to federal investigators, Clemens did NOT have an abscess when he examined him in July, injected him with B-12 in July, and offered Medical Reports on Clemens in July. This is one fact among many that was distorted by the Oversight Committee.
Congress continuously showed their separate and hidden agendas, specifically the Democrats, who had Dr. Taylor’s' sworn statement in hand while distorting what was true. Just like they did to Roger's Nanny, who said the very next day after the hearing, "they lied about what I told them. I was never at (Jose Canseco's) party."
Jose Canseco's party, which was in Tampa Bay, FL. between June 8th and June 10th, 1998, is where the time-line starts. "After returning from the Marlins road trip, June 12," Brian McNamee implies that "Clemens was huddled with an unknown third party, and Canseco at Jose's party 'doing a drug deal." He further alleges that shortly after returning home from Canseco's Party he injected Clemens with steroids, who developed an abscess as result, and that the Blue Jays trainers knew, as that is what they told him directly. McNamee seems to be eluding to mid to late June. An abscess takes 2 weeks to develop, and then more time to heal.
Each injection, according to the Mitchell Report, was at the Sky Dome. McNamee swore that he was telling the truth in the Mitchell Report. He was interviewed between 5 and 8 times to verify his version of events. He said each injection happened in Toronto.
But in his deposition McNamee changed the Reports credibility, saying that the botched injection happened in Tampa Bay. The Jays were in Tampa in mid June. He said he "pushed the injection too hard, and it went in too quickly. They had to hurry as we were in the Tamp Bay clubhouse, in a snack room."
Victor Conte said that McNamee's statement was inaccurate. Winstrol is never "pushed too hard", it is a thin liquid, "You start to inject it, and then bam. It's in." You only have to "push" testosterone, because it offers resistance. This is one of several McNamee inaccuracies. But if the steroid did "pool", then it would abscess. This fact is unavoidable. McNamee said "it pooled." Which is true, Winstrol would cause an abscess if it pooled, per Dr. Murphy (Waxman’s' Doctor, from 10 years after the fact. Who never examined Clemens at all).
When confronted that the only "injury the trainers knew about" was in July, and that it was the result of a B-12 injection, not an abscess, and just a mere bruise, McNamee then changed the date to early September. He backs up the now September accusation by saying, "after the injury, Clemens threw the (contraband) into his locker, which he gave to Canseco.... because he was comfortable with Jose." Yet, Canseco denies it, and like everyone else, he too would go to jail if he lied. Each interview the Feds read the same threat of jail time, as made to McNamee, for knowingly making false official statements. Yet, McNamee isn't being investigated for perjury.
In a recent article, McNamee said "I only treated Clemens at the end of July, beginning of August," and has said that he treated Clemens from 4 to 6 weeks. HOWEVER, the Blue Jays were never in Tampa in July, nor in August, nor in
