School boys as young as 17 years old participating in the recent Craven Week schools rugby tournament have tested positive for anabolic steroids.

This finding was revealed during doping control tests and the school boys could face bans of up to two years from sport.

From Timeslive.co.za:

Galant says that 4 boys tested positive for the banned steroids. “Out of the four positives, two results also showed high levels of testosterone and these tests have been sent off for further analysis to Germany to verify whether the levels of testosterone are due to external sources, or naturally produced by the body.

“Only if the tests confirm that indeed the source of testosterone is from outside of the athlete’s body, will a doping case be opened.”

He says that one positive result is a lot, therefore four positives translates into an 8.5% positive result, which is a serious cause for concern.

Khalid Galant, CEO of the Institute for Drug-Free Sport, said, “The Craven Week school tournament is known to be the hunting ground for talent scouts looking to find best new players for their provinces.”

Prosecutors recently said that needles and cotton balls, claimed to include DNA of Roger Clemens, were faked.

The former trainer of Clemens, Brian McNamee, claimed that he used to inject the star pitcher with anabolic steroids.

From Post-gazette.com:

Assistant U.S. attorney Steven Durham revealed the results during opening arguments in Clemens’ trial on charges of lying to Congress about using performance-enhancing drugs. Clemens’ attorney Rusty Hardin responded that he won’t dispute the needles contain Clemens’ DNA and steroids, but accused the trainer Brian McNamee of “mixing” it up.

“He manufactured this stuff,” Hardin told jurors. “Roger Clemens‘ only crime was having the poor judgment to stay connected with Brian McNamee.”

Hardin said steroids would have been so “incredibly inconsistent with his career and beliefs that there’s no way he would have done it.”

Clemens has said that the only things McNamee ever injected him with were the common local anesthetic lidocaine for his joints and vitamin B-12 to ward off flu viruses and stay healthy. But Durham said neither substance was found on the needles or cotton swabbed with his blood stains.

“It’s a fact of life that sometimes when people reach the mountain, there is an unwillingness to give them equal consideration when people come down on them,” Hardin said. “And that’s what happened with Roger.”

David Justice, the former Braves slugger, has vehemently denied making use of injected steroids and remarked that he has his fear of needles.

This statement by Justice was in wake of remarks by Kirk Radomski before George Mitchell that he sold human growth hormone to Justice. The revelation was made when Mitchell was in charge of the investigation about use of performance enhancing drugs in baseball.

From AJC.com:

Now consider this: Radomski has a recently published book on steroids and baseball. It’s a book with large passages disputed by Mitchell. Which means it’s wise to question anything leaving Radomski’s lips.

“When he said he took me to the airport after we won the World Series, hey, I got my cousins, I got friends who were up there with me, and they all said, ‘That dude didn’t take you to no airport,’ ” said Justice, who did recall Brian McNamee, the former trainer, now famous for saying Roger Clemens was juiced.

Soon after Justice joined the Yankees in 2000, McNamee approached him with HGH. He told the outfielder it would help his various aches and pains.

“I’m having good days and bad days with my sports hernia and groin, and I’ve got the New York Yankees strength coach, who is Dr. McNamee and somebody I thought was a really cool guy, coming to me,” Justice said. “He tells me, ‘This is not steroids. It will not hurt your body. Doctors prescribe this every day. It will help you with the healing of your groin.’

A box of HGH was given to Justice during an airport ride, Radomski told ESPN. The box was given after Justice finished playing for the New York Yankees in the 2000 World Series.

Kirk Radomski, the confessed drug supplier, has provided documentary evidence that he shipped drugs to Roger Clemens.

Clemens is presently facing perjury investigations after communicating to the Congress that he had never used steroids or performance enhancing drugs.

From Espnstar.com:

Citing unnamed sources, the Daily News reports the package was addressed to William Roger Clemens, in care of Brian McNamee, who apparently did not sign for the package.

“I can’t imagine that there’s any truth to that at all,” Clemens’ lawyer Rusty Hardin told the newspaper. “We’ll find out one day Roger never received or took the stuff.”

The timing of the shipment to Clemens’ home is apparently around the same time that his wife, Debbie, used HGH in preparation for her pictorial in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

A seven-time Cy Young Award winner, the 45-year-old Clemens denied under oath using human growth hormone or having any prior knowledge that his wife was going to use HGH.

It was disclosed in the report that Radomski discovered shipping receipts for a package of two HGH kits sent to Clemens at house of the pitcher in Houston in 2002 or 2003.

Andy Pettitte, the Yankees hero, will be playing the role of supporting cast after Brian McNamee, the former trainer of Roger Clemens, revealed the complete truth.

Clemens is expected to plead not guilty and Pettitte is all set to become an important witness in the perjury case against Clemens.

From NYdailynews.com:

Pettitte has already both bolstered McNamee’s credibility and directly contradicted some of the allegedly misleading statements by Clemens that are listed in the six-count indictment issued Thursday against the Rocket. In 2008, Pettitte testified that he used human growth hormone provided by McNamee to expedite his recovery from a 2004 elbow injury, and that he discussed HGH with Clemens in 1999 and 2005.

“Mac told the truth about me,” Pettitte said upon arriving at spring training in 2008, having seemingly survived the congressional probe into baseball’s doping subculture.

Pettitte is believed to step off the mound and onto the stand of witnesses to testify against his pitching mentor.

Roger Clemens was denied the opportunity of resurrecting the explosive defamation suit he filed in Texas against Brian McNamee, his former trainer, in January of 2008. This was after Clemens learned about his former trainer accusing him of using performance enhancing drugs.

Clemens sued McNamee for statements appearing in report made by former Senator George Mitchell on use of performance enhancing drugs in baseball.

From NYdailynews.com:

Clemens sued McNamee for statements that McNamee made to former Senator George Mitchell, who used those statements in his report on performance-enhancing drug use in Major League Baseball, which accused the former Yankee of using steroids and human growth hormone. Also at issue in the suit were comments McNamee made in an interview with SI.com.

Two judges – Jerry Edwin Smith and W. Eugene Davis – voted to affirm the dismissal ruling, which U.S. District Court Judge Keith Ellison issued more than a year ago. The single dissenting vote was cast by Judge Catharina Haynes, who argued that McNamee’s repeated visits to Texas over the years he trained Clemens made Texas a suitable venue.

The decision might finally mean the end of the long-running complaint, which Clemens filed in conjunction with an appearance on “60 Minutes” attacking the Mitchell Report. McNamee has since filed his own defamation complaint against Clemens, a case that is situated in a federal court in Brooklyn.

Clemens will now be facing criminal charges because of grand jury investigations into statements made by Clemens before Congress is February 2008.

Brian McNamee, an important figure in investigation by George Mitchell into steroid use in baseball, breathe a little easier after revealing the complete truth and putting an end to his involvement with sprawling steroid probe of the government.

From NYdailynews.com:

“For Brian, to get him ready to testify, it was important to walk him through his story, grill him on his recollections, and make sure he was credible. Before the committee, Brian stayed focused on the relevant events involving Roger Clemens – most importantly when and how he injected Clemens - and gave clear and crisp answers,” said Paoletta. “Brian stepped up to the challenge, did a great job. And that’s why he is not facing a perjury indictment.”

McNamee praised his lawyers’ work, telling The News, “My attorneys did their due diligence all along. They’re doing it the right way.”

The personal toll on McNamee, however, has been vast. The legal bills to defend a defamation suit Clemens filed against him in January of 2008 have mounted and he has had trouble finding work as a trainer. He recently began working in a Long Island office.

McNamee‘s friend Kirk Radomski, the former Mets clubhouse attendant who supplied steroids to ballplayers, said Brian told the truth and what he was supposed to do.

David Segui became the latest former major leaguer to testify before the federal grand jury, which is investigating Roger Clemens for perjury.

Segui declined when asked to discuss his testimony before the media while leaving the room of grand jury on the third floor of the federal courthouse in the shadow of the Capitol.

From NYdailynews.com:

Segui, whose 15-season Major League Baseball career included parts of two seasons with the Mets, is the latest former ballplayer dragged into the Clemens investigation. Self-proclaimed steroid guru Jose Canseco appeared before the grand jury on June 3 and told reporters afterward that he testified that he had no evidence that Clemens had used performance-enhancing drugs. Former Yankee pitcher Jason Grimsley met with Butler and other investigators in August of 2009, and former pitcher Pedro Borbon Jr. has also been interviewed by investigators involved in the case.

Clemens’ former trainer Brian McNamee said before former Sen. George Mitchell that he injected steroids and HGH at least 16 times to the seven-time Cy Young Award winner, which was vehemently denied by Clemens.

Brian McNamee, the former trainer of Roger Clemens, said that a June 1998 barbeque at Jose Canseco’s house was one of the most pivotal moments in baseball career of Clemens as this was the time and place when he plunged deeper into use of steroids.

However, Canseco has been saying for two years that Clemens didn’t attended the shindig at his home in South Florida, which cast doubt on Clemens’s credibility and raising questions about the Mitchell Report on baseball and steroids.

From NYailynews.com:

The flip-flops about the party are another indication why Canseco, who met with the federal prosecutors leading the Clemens’ perjury investigation for five hours Wednesday, could be a wildcard for both the government and the former Yankee pitcher’s defense attorneys if Clemens is charged with lying to Congress when he told a House panel in February 2008 that he never used steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs.

Canseco is scheduled to appear on Thursday before the grand jury that will determine whether Clemens is indicted for perjury for his testimony during the hearing on the Mitchell Report.

Canseco has had several run-ins with the law and he’s been called a snitch by people he calls “haters” for outing Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro and other ballplayers as steroid users in his book “Juiced.”

It is worth noting here that Jose Canseco has never been sued for the allegations in this book and its follow-up version, “Vindicated“.
