Davis happy for McGwire’s return in baseball

Davis happy for McGwire’s return in baseball Former congressional representative Tom Davis says Roger Clemens was in denial during the steroids probe. Davis once headed the House committee that investigated on Mark McGwire and Roger Clemens that eventually led to the downfall of their careers.

Davis opines that if only Clemens had just admitted the accusations thrown to him, nobody would have a problem. It was difficult for Clemens to deny anything since Andy Petitte was there to contradict him.

Clemens was noted as vehemently denying any use of steroids or HGH despite his former trainer, Brian McNamee’s accusations.

During the notorious 2005 hearing, Davis was the chairperson of the House Government Reform Committee. Davis remembers McGwire’s implementation of his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. He refused to answer questions about steroids, rather saying that he was there not talk about the past.

Davis welcomed the news that McGwire is back in baseball, this time as a hitting coach for the Cradinals. He thinks McGwire deserves another chance. It is about time that he comes back in the league after four years of self-imposed exile from the sport.

Davis left congress in 2008 and now works as a consultant for Deloitte.

From New York Daily News:

Former congressman Tom Davis, who once led the House committee that helped destroy the baseball legacies of Mark McGwire and Roger Clemens, says he applauds McGwire’s return but thinks Clemens was in denial when he testified before Congress.
