Clemens won his 350th last night. Why has his body changed so much since he came in? Why have some of his best years been late in his career? Why is ok to hate Bonds and Sosa but not question Clemens?

It should be noted, I do not hate the Yankees or Clemens, the best sports venue I have been to was Yankee Stadium, love it. But fair is fair

If people are going to accuse McGwire, Sosa, Bonds, etc. then I think that Clemens is definately included in that group.
When he came to the Sox he was a skinny little kid, now he has thighs like Barry Sanders. Plus he has gotten better with age which is also suspect.
This may sound weird coming from a white guy but I think that maybe there is a bit of a racial issue with the media which is mostly white and ethnic players. It is funny that guys like Sosa and Bonds are constantly criticized while Clemens isn't even questioned.
I would not be surprised if Clemens was guilty of using "the sauce".

Clemens isn't juicing at the moment. Was he? Anyone's guess.
MLB didn't test anyone, so guys like Bonds and Clemens and Sosa could have taken advantage of the situation if they wanted to.
Don't give me that Bonds never failed a test, either. He never took a test, and when he was faced with taking a test, he took some time off to "heal his knee." Clemens? Similar. Sosa? Similar.

Clemens MIGHT be on juice but figue this,,
- If he was on steriods his fastball would be more then 90-91 MPH.
- Most players take steriods late in thier carrer so they can have a little boost for the HOF.
- Why would The Rocket, arguably the best right handed pitcher of all time take steriods to ruin his legendary carrer and put his HOF status on the line.
- If he wasnt on sterioids why would he talk about it quite often (Source from Jose Cansecos book.)
- He has taken many sterioids tests and passed every single one of them.
- He has been spotted by the media to be working out more often then usual, that might explain the reason for his improving pitching.
He may or may not take sterioids, I think Clemens did not take sterioids but its hard to tell, and i'm not just saying this because i'm a Yankee fan.
If you want to find out more look up Jose Cansecos book, it tells a lot about people who have taken and may have taken steriods....

Going on the same reasons most people accuse Barry of juicing I would say without a doubt. I think Roger, Barry, Sosa, and McGwire all juiced...that is just my thought on the matter though.

Yes. If Bonds is accused without having a failed test so is Clemens.
B-12 my ***!
Clemens was also mentioned in Canseco's book. His personal trainer was also linked to Jason Grimsley, providing him with a source to performance enhancers.

to me he is not a juicer but the reason y bonds is being booed at and taking critiscm from ppl saying he used steroids is all because of his race look it up on espn barry bonds steroid issued and you will see the poles

Majority of juicers that have been caught are Pitchers. I'm not saying he is, I'm just saying it is fair to question him. To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if he was a juicer considering the era and that most caught lately have been Pitchers.

Well, he does retire every year so he doesn't have to take a dope test and then comes back mid way through a season so he doesn't have to take a pre-season test....makes you wonder..
