Sad
I worked at the Toronto stadium hotel that Roger lived in during the two seasons with the Jays and he was great to fans and staff alike. There were never any rumors swirling around about drug use, needles etc at that time.
Went out for drinks with McNamee a couple of times. Strange, but nice guy. He would order 6 beers at once, for himself, drink them slowly but said he didn't like to wait for service. Very frenetic personality.
I don't like the whole sad mess but have to conclude from the story and Roger's performance in the late stages of his career that he was no doubt juicing and tried to cover it up. As a result he will be found guilty but will most prob pay a fine and do community service. His HOF future maybe as "Rose"y as Pete's now.
