- soupcancooloff, on 07/04/2008, -2/+20Ok, your title is misleading.
The article's title: "Filing claims syringes will test positive for Clemens' DNA"
your title: "Syringes Test Positive for Roger Clemens DNA"
There's a difference. Just because lawyer's of McNamee say so doesn't mean its true. Could just be negative press.
Don't post sensationalist titles to get more diggs. There is no correlation between how many diggs your submitted espn article gets and how cool your are. - dankoleary, on 07/04/2008, -0/+12This calls for the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chewbacca_defense
- IzMan2008, on 07/04/2008, -1/+10Sorry to say, but Clemons will be the 'next" Pete Rose. Poor guy. He had an opportunity to tell the truth and ask for forgiveness. Now he will be proven that he lied.
- voxtarri, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6Maybe he did take real steroids but let's get this straight - B12 is NOT a steroid. If you ate 4 boxes of corn flakes you'd get the same about of B12 in your system as a syringe.
- GrodyChamp, on 07/04/2008, -1/+5Although I think Clemens did it, the thread title is intentionally misleading. They are saying they could test positive, not they already DID test positive.
- boydrew, on 07/04/2008, -1/+5Maybe I'm misinformed or oblivious to the evidence and case, but couldn't the guy have kept a syringe of that stuff and add clemens' DNA? Maybe thats not possible.... I just think that in the past 6 or 7 years (the article says the guy held the syringes since 2001) he would have been able to tamper with them.
- sirbeta, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4Title is horrifically inaccurate. Title represents what the layers /hope/ will be true, not what the actual article talks about.
- graemee, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Well if anyone wanted to, BUSH's DNA could test positive on those needles. All you need is a needle and a sample of their DNA, a piece of dead skin would do.
- Number23, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3You mean Chris Clemons? He only played one season in the bigs, so I don't think steroids helped much.
- dogstylee, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2So Mr Burns has done it
The powerplant had won it
With Roger Clemens clucking all the while.... - cdigioia, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2As soupcancooloff said first - This article title is utter *****. The lawyers CLAIM the syringes WILL test positive for Clemens DNA. Yet - the title says the syringes DO test positive.
Taking what lawyers say for the 100% truth? Yeah, that's reasonable...
This tabloid style happens all the time on Digg - I wish people would work harder to bury such stories. I'd really rather Digg weren't so ridiculous half the time.
Seriously, let's bury this story so this kind of junk doesn't keep happening. - Synova, on 07/04/2008, -4/+6*
- GrodyChamp, on 07/04/2008, -2/+4And I thought only huffingtonpost made up misleading titles!
- sq2shooter, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2So even if his DNA shows up on the syringes, it doesn't show he took steroids. He has admitted getting other shots. So unless these syringes have STEROIDS labeled on the side, he could argue that the syringes were probably used to give his B12 shot.
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2The title is BS, and the article is BS.
Why the hell would anyone save a syringe for 7 years?
I think they just grabbed a random syringe after this steroid controversy hit the news and are using it in an attempt to break Roger. Of course nothing will ever show up on the syringe, unless it is planted. - inactive, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2And that is probably what Clement's lawyers will argue
- runCMD, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2McNamee's attorney, Richard Emery, said McNamee kept the items -- dating to 2000 or 2001 -- because he "had this inkling and gut feeling that he couldn't trust Roger and better keep something to protect himself in the future."
Monica Lewinsky was just lazy - but this guy apparently plotted this outcome - holding on to syringes for 8 years ? LOL. Seems to me - since the 'chain of custody' for this 'evidence' has been in the 'trainers' sole possesion since 2000 that any evidence collected would be considered tainted. If he turned the 'syringes' over to a lawyer or health professional where they stayed locked in a safe - then maybe there would be an argument. - hangingchad, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2No integrity of evidence. Clemens could of used those syringes to inject who knows what. But you can't verify what was in the syringe at time of injection. He could of used the syringe to inject B12. A steroid compound could of been added at any time after. This is a whole lot of ***** by the media to keep a story in the media. In the end, this evidence will not weigh heavily in the judgement. This is a case of his word vs Mcnamee's. It's a character vs character issue. As for Clemens HOF bid...forget it The meda has made sure of that.
- sq2shooter, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Hey Einstein, they are as legal as Viagra. You need a prescription to get them and none of these players had prescriptions. That is why it is illegal.
- winmywii, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I agree. Why should they be outlawed? If a pro-sports org wants to ban them they should be able, but they shouldn't be illegal.
- winmywii, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1The funny thing is that the people who are investigating the accusations know nothing about these drugs.
- hugoguzman, on 07/04/2008, -1/+1Buried for the misleading title
- samk, on 07/05/2008, -0/+0Marked INACCURATE for BS headline.
User Bukowsky BLOCKED. (Had to to go bury one of his comments to be able to block him,) - cglogan, on 07/04/2008, -0/+0.......what is this ...a headline from FOX?
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -2/+1nice article
- fr3ddie, on 07/04/2008, -3/+2LEAVE ROGER ALONE!!!!!.... ***** steroids should be as legal as viagra. *****.
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -2/+1Americans and steroids go hand in hand
- dafragsta, on 07/04/2008, -4/+3I did not have sexual relations with that needle.
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -5/+3Because if they had that headline on their own site they'd be sued.
But you can lie in a Digg "submission", it's ok, everyone does it. Besides the submission headline is far juicier and allows them to get more pagehits/ad revenue. Win/Win. - inactive, on 07/04/2008, -7/+2HAHA baseball. Its just rounders for fat drug-fueled poofters.
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -7/+1OMG DIGG SUBMISSION HEADLINE IS MISLEADING?>?!?!!!!!!!!!
