Report: Trainer Claims He Passed FBI Polygraph on Clemens

sports.espn.go.com — A Houston-area trainer, Shaun Kelley, who once employed Roger Clemens' stepsister says he took and passed a polygraph test administered by the FBI, which included questions of whether he knows Clemens and whether he's ever given the seven-time Cy Young Award winner performance-enhancing drugs.

    • b0rna, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3i added the much needed /sarcasm.
    • jjesusfreak01, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1Umm, everybody knows polygraphs are only right when you are guilty. They arent admissable in court, investigators just use them as a tool to get people to confess to crimes they didnt commit.

    • psyber, on 05/02/2008, -1/+4Administered by the FBI! What a wast of time and resources.
    • Hollowpoint, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1Yeah I think it's the font.
  • Ender008, on 05/02/2008, -1/+8Why won't this story die?
  • sexydarin, on 05/02/2008, -1/+6That's the problem polygraphs are not accurate at all. They cannot be used in court. Tv keeps perpetuating the myth that polygraphs are accurate.
  • Jenadae, on 05/02/2008, -1/+2Clemen's step-sister's trainer? Are you ***** serious?
  • DrunkenSavior, on 05/02/2008, -1/+4This story needs more random Barry Zito pictures....
  • spyd3rweb, on 05/02/2008, -0/+8Not worth the ***** time and tax dollars.
  • DarkReign16, on 05/02/2008, -1/+2Polygraphs are unreliable any way.

  • mal1964, on 05/02/2008, -3/+2I bet the Trainer is a Republican.
  • nellyspageli, on 05/02/2008, -2/+1this is digg. we are nerds. we aren't interested in sports.
    • Bukowsky, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2then turn it off in your profile settings.
    • DrunkenSavior, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1I'm interested in sports. I guess you're an old-school geek...
  • HiKevinRose, on 05/02/2008, -0/+5Report: Polygraph tests are *****.
  • Mikhail101, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2Why does the FBI care.
  • frenchi, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1two words: thumbtack, shoe.
  • bieber, on 05/02/2008, -1/+2Well, it's pretty well established that a polygraph is about as accurate as a fair coin toss, so I guess he got lucky...
    • pauleric, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1There is nothing "fair" about sociopaths who don't react physiologically being able to fool an interrogator. And really, that's what they're used for: to intimidate people.
  • 5teady, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1In the but!
  • aN1G, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1absolutely irrelevant to the case. not admissible in court. so, his passing means nothing really.
  • Jalh, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1In soviet russia polygraph play you
  • adml_shake, on 05/02/2008, -1/+2This is just ***** stupid. Listen up news media, we as the American people don't give a flying ***** who he was banging. This should be a story buried in the back section of sports, at best. We didn't care about the steroids and we sure as hell don't care any more about this.
  • jlyoung, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1You know Barry Zito is having a bad year when his picture is randomly next to a story about performance-enhancing drugs that has nothing to do with him. O plus his 0-6 start, 7. something ERA and demotion from starter to bullpen. Also the entire home team crowd boo him in the third inning.
  • kelmaster1, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1WHY THE HELL IS THE FBI INVOLVED WITH BASEBALL?!?!?!?
  • gkiltz, on 05/02/2008, -0/+0Keep in mind: There is A BASIC REASON why polygraphs are NOT ADMISSIBLE IN COURT!
    Charles Manson PASSED a polygraph! They'll never be fully admitted!
    The countries that DO admit them have TWICE the number of wrongful convictions as the ones that don't!!
    Polygraphs simply have too many inaccuracies!
    Take the SAME polygraph result to 3 different examiners, get 3 different results! Live with it!
  • blackturtleus, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1The polygraph is a huge scam. Polygraph operators get paid good money for perpetrating the scam and the companies that make the equipment also benefit. However, there are enough ignorant people out there that the polygraph is a good interrogation tool since many people are intimidated when confronted with a claim that they are being deceptive.
  • hempydave, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1Everyone in America seems to be on some drug.... or a half dozen.
    No wonder your last 8 yrs seem like a freak brothers comic.
  • ATLBuckeye, on 05/02/2008, -0/+0who really cares if she passed a polygraph test, Roger Clemens has been one of the untouchables in baseball and now he is getting what he deserves. He has always been known to be a jerk to everyone and I love when karma catches up to people. I will admit he is one of the best pitchers ever, but just because he is a great pitcher does not make him a great person.
