Roger Clemens - Leper

I find a certain symmetry that Roger Clemens' agents would issue a report on World Leprosy Day.

Here is the report done by the Hendricks Brothers (PDF Document). I went over it briefly and it seems to purport that Roger Clemens performance was pretty much consistent throughout his career - which I guess is evidence in the mind of the Hendricks Brothers that Roger couldn't have used steroids. I did not see anything which would address the idea that steroids could have been used to allow quicker recovery time and allow an older player like Clemens to work out like a 20-something year old. A fried of mine also has the theory that Clemens held out the first few months of the season these past few years to allow the steroids to get out of his system or to avoid the spring training drug testing. I don't see anything in the report that would disprove that idea.

I like the Leprosy symmetry because Roger Clemens has become untouchable. Nobody wants anything to do with him. He might as well go around shouting, "Unclean, Unclean!" everywhere he goes. It's going to take a miracle to cure him. And this report from his agents is no miracle.
