Holes In The Story


When I first saw this on ESPN.com this morning I really went back and forth on whether or not to post it. I REALLY want to believe Clemens on this deal and at first is looked like the magic bullet, or needle, that was gonna bury him, or just puncture him. Now this chapter has gotten a little more interesting.

Convicted steroid distributor Kirk Radomski told ESPN.com that while he was moving a broken television off a dresser in the bedroom of his Long Island home last Sunday night, he found a shipping receipt for Human Growth Hormone that he claims to have sent to Clemens' Houston home in 2002 or 2003. Radomski said he found that receipt, along with "seven or eight others" for shipments to other baseball players, under the TV.

Now, Im no genius, but here are a few things to think about...
1) Did he really put HGH on the shipping receipt and wouldn't Fed-Ex or UPS have a copy of this?
2) As a controlled substance wouldn't there be a red flag since our buddy Kirk isn't a doctor?
3) Under the TV? Really? I mean, maybe a fire poof safe that the TV was sitting on. But just under the TV? Who is advising this guy?
4) 2002 or 2003? Again, the receipt. What kinda "receipt" doesn't have a place for the date on it? was this on a "while you were out" telephone message pad?
5) 7 or 8 other receipts. Should we really give up on a future hall of famer for a guy who can't count past 6?

Is anyone with me on this?
