Neither Clemens nor McNamee was consistent.
2) Andy Pettite's also not consistent memory of a conversation in which he believed Clemens said he had tried them.
I believe that in all likelihood Clemens did in fact use them, but the evidence is extremely flimsy, at best. A massive waste of taxpayer money to pursue this loser of a case. His bizarre aging pattern is much more indicative than the testimonial.

There was also the weirdness, and I can't recall if it was part of the trial or separate, where Roger claimed a shipment or delivery to his house of HGH was in fact for Debbie his wife.
For clarity he was not charged with using PEDs, his alleged crime was lying to Congress.
