After winning seven Cy Young Awards and 354 games in the Major Leagues, Roger Clemens climbed a Hill one more time on Wednesday for the most important matchup of his career.Amid former trainer Brian McNamee's allegations that Clemens used performance-enhancing drugs as part of his training program for the latter stages of his celebrated career, Clemens appeared Wednesday on Capitol Hill to tell his tale before Congress and a national audience.
Wearing a navy suit, red tie and blue shirt, Clemens entered Room 2154 of the Rayburn House Office Building at 10:04 a.m. ET amid a flurry of shutter clicks, flanked by his attorneys and his wife, Debbie. McNamee entered a minute later from a different entrance wearing a gray suit, white shirt and silver tie, and did not appear to acknowledge Clemens.
This part doesn't sound uncomfortable at all:
Clemens and McNamee took their respective seats one chair apart for a hearing titled "The Mitchell Report: The Illegal Use of Steroids in Major League Baseball, Day 2." Once partners who shared a common interest -- namely, escalating Clemens' physical performance through grueling, military-style workouts -- their stories now could not be any more different.
