these all seem a bit far-fetched to me

for instance, how do they know that fellow's heart stopped?

also, it's not WHERE you inject steroids that the enhancement occurs, it's a system-wide thing, hence the testicular-atrophy and so on. So why would that fellow's left arm be stronger?

How about the "crashing through pure titanium" incident? I could crash through pure titanium too, especially if it was nice and thin. Anyway titanium can be quite brittle. And why would they make a wall out of it? titanium is enormously expensive, and titanium-steel would be stronger.

The poster says it's from Onion Sports... and talks about a man crashing through a titanium wall, a man playing on a shattered femur, a player driving a pen through a baseball and his own hand, one player being forcibly injected with roids for 11 years, a player accidentally stopping AND restarting his own heart by thumping his chest.... you missed all that?

I had forgotten about this thread and am surprised no one is discussing the topic anymore.

In the States, many people are discussing the Roger Clemens debacle and most agree: he's as guilty as sin!

I haven't followed the Roger Clemens thing lately except the odd sound bite. He's going down swinging if I understand it correctly.

I wonder why the guy who says he injected him many many times, 'SAVED' injection needles, with Clemen's dna and blood on them, I mean, that was years ago, and he
saved them? Was he just waiting for this moment in time!!!!!!
Strangest thing I ever heard.

I thought it was strange too. All the hard work Roger was known for, and it isn't looking good for him now. You can't fake DNA in a syringe. Weird stuff.

We should get Flo-Jo to give talks to kids about the benefits of stereos.

I wonder if Clemens threatened him back then to keep his mouth shut, and perhaps he decided to hold on to some of this in case it reared its ugly head.

I liked Flo-Jo. She was awesome. Completely drugged but awesome.
