Let the denying begin

Roger Clemens' legal team is already on the defensive.

From Bryan Hoch:

Clemens was mentioned on nine pages and 82 times by name. Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, released a statement on Thursday in which Clemens vehemently denied ever using steroids and said he was "outraged" that his name was included based upon the "uncorroborated allegations" of Brian McNamee, a former Yankees trainer.

"Roger has been repeatedly tested for these substances and he has never tested positive," Hardin said. "There has never been one shred of tangible evidence that he ever used these substances, and yet he is being slandered today." (Yankees.com)

The report on Clemens did go into detail, but it came from someone who was threatened with criminal prosecution, according to Clemens' camp.
