Clemens rejects claims of evidence of steroids

Baseball star Roger Clemens dismissed as bogus on Thursday new claims of evidence by his former trainer — including needles and bloody gauze pads — that Clemens used performance-enhancing drugs.“This is a fabricated story,” Clemens’ attorney, Rusty Hardin, said after the pitcher’s former trainer, Brian McNamee, testified behind closed doors for about seven hours to U.S. congressional investigators.

Clemens let his attorneys do most of talking at a brief news conference, but said, “I’m looking forward to Wednesday of next week,” when he and McNamee will be sworn in to testify before the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
