In light of an Associated Press report on Thursday that revealed Clemens and Andy Pettitte were not named in the Jason Grimsley affidavit, Houston-based attorney Rusty Hardin released the following statement:

“When this grossly inaccurate story broke in October 2006, Roger said it was untrue and the Los Angeles Times chose not to believe him. As the record now clearly proves, Roger was telling the truth then, just as he continues to tell the truth today.

“Roger Clemens did not take steroids, and anybody who says he did had better start looking for a hell of a good lawyer.”

“We acknowledge the inaccuracies of the report and deeply regret the mistake,” Times spokesman Stephan Pechdimaldji said to The AP.

In the affidavit, Grimsley accused Jose Canseco, Len Dykstra, Glenallen Hill and Geronimo Berroa of taking steroids. He also accused Chuck Knoblauch of using human growth hormone; David Segui and Allen Watson of using performance-enhancing drugs; and Rafael Palmeiro and Pete Incaviglia of taking amphetamines, according to IRS Special Agent Jeff Novitzky’s sworn statement.

Seems funny that when the report initially dropped about the steroids, I said on here “Let’s see the proof”. Seems as if some people may start retracting some words!!
