So Roger Clemens is now being indicted for lying to Congress.  Excuse me for not feeling sorry for these prima donna athletes who think they can get away with anything.  On one hand, I can understand the people who wonder why Congress is even concerned with all of this.  But on the other, it’s a felony to lie in a congressional hearing, and shouldn’t we go after people who commit felonies?  If not, then why make a law making it a felony?

Clemens still defends himself and claims he never took PED’s, but if you look at a recent ESPN poll, 91 % of the people responding thought he was lying.  His trainer said he did, and so did Andy Petitte, but Clemens said that Petitte “misremembered”.  Don’t you just love it when they make up new words to prove their innocence?  Clemens even threw his wife under the bus saying that the HGH delivered to his house was for her.  Isn’t he just a sweetheart of a guy?

The problem with these athletes claiming their innocence is that their bodies are telling us they did take PED’s.  If a woman takes the male hormone testosterone for a long period of time, she will grow a beard.  She may claim she isn’t taking them, but her beard says otherwise.  When a male gets a sex change operation, they give him the female hormones estrogen and progesterone, and it makes him grow breasts. 

Steroids are an artificial testosterone, and it will make anyone add muscle mass to their bodies.  The reason men have bigger muscles than a woman is purely biological.  Testosterone causes men to have more muscle fibers per square inch, which results in bigger, stronger muscles.  A male is his 30’s cannot build lots of muscles on his body because a male’s testosterone production decreases with age.  So Bonds and Clemens can claim their innocence, but when their bodies gain extensive muscle late in their career instead of fat, a red flag is waving wildly above their heads.  In fact, Bonds’ hat size changed later in his career.  That ever happen to you?  They proof, as they say, is in the pudding.

What these athletes fail to realize is that if they tell the truth, America will forgive them.  Andy Petitte is the perfect example.  He admitted using HGH to heal some injuries and apologized.  He still pitching and you don’t see his name on Sports Center very often. But when they lie and get indignant, like Bonds, Clemens, and McGwire have been, we do not forgive them, and they remain in the news.  Some of them will even wind up in court and it serves them right.  I hope some of the millions they got for playing a game are wasted on attorney fees and other expensive court costs.

So say good bye to the Hall of Fame, Roger, but in all honesty, that’s the least of your problems.  It’s going to be hard to spend the millions in your bank account from prison.  And it’s just amazing to me that all you had to do to avoid all of this was tell the truth and not have any “misremembering”.  America would have forgiving you already.  But, hey, it’s your life, Roger.  Go ahead and lie your way into prison and take the truth with you to your grave.  Just one more word of advice though: when you get to Saint Peter at the pearly gates of Heaven, I wouldn’t be making up any new words to try and get your way inside.  That ain’t gonna fly with them.
