Dara just one the national title in the 100M Freestyle in 54.4 at the ripe old age of 40. Simply Incredible. :applaud: :woot:
If that's not inspiring I don't know what is.
Pettite did not see anything. His stuff is hearsay he thinks he heard something and Clemens said he misunderstood..
"He thinks he heard something" makes it sound like high school gossip, and it isn't. What he heard is Clemens telling him that he used HGH, and he testified about it. I think it much more likely that Clemens is lying than that Pettitte misunderstood. If there had been any doubt in Pettitte's mind about the conversation he would not have testified because he had nothing to gain and I imagine he would have been reluctant to hurt Clemens.
Using HGH is not the same as using steroids, but Pettitte's story supports McNamee's version of events and not Clemens'. Not enough to convict him a court of law perhaps, but enough for me to form my opinion: Clemens is a very talented and accomplished athlete, a hard worker, and a juicer.
The difference between this and Torres' situation is that there is no evidence whatsoever against DT other than the performances themselves and a few pictures, all of which I think is pretty weak. So for me DT gets the benefit of the doubt, just as any other athlete would.
