Corey R. ShanusIF what Todd just reported is true -- that in addition to telling the truth, to save his skin McNamee also had to include as part of the "truth" an allegation of steroid/HGH use by Clemens -- the impact of that revelation on public opinion could be monumental. Suddenly McNamee is given a huge motivation to lie about Clemens, seriously impacting his credibility. I would think in relatively short order someone with first-hand knowledge of the truth of this allegation (e.g., Mitchell/the Feds) will add his/her voice to the mix.
If that allegation is forcefully denied and in fact untrue, it would seem to demonstrate how desperate Clemens is, going to any lengths to try to respond head-on to the most troubling aspect of his predicament -- Why would McNamee lie?
