Keep in mind that steroids and HGH are "legal drugs," but banned from sports.  What is illegal is selling illicit drugs without a license to distribute, nor a prescription, and so is administering them under false pretenses while pretending you are a doctor.  In other words, everything that McNamee did regarding drugs was illegal, yet he is a free man, and IF Clemens used them, then it was NOT illegal at all.  After all, he thought McNamee was a Doctor. 

These "legal drugs" are merely banned from use by professional sports, so why would the government care that a player may have used a legal drug?   It is not their business; it is the MLB's business.  Yet Clemens is the one under investigation, while the one who actually broke the law is free.
