Clemens offered taped conversation but that of course was as setup.
He offers a report on his career.
His stats are not unbeleivable for a player without steroids.
His body hasnt changed.
What evidence do you think he could offer?
My reasoning is a stretch? It makes sense to you that he would save this stuff for 7 years? Come on thats a bit of stretch. I could see the last few years but not going back 7 years ago. Did he keep syringes on Pettitte & Knoblauch too?
Sure i want to hear what Jim Murray says but McNamee needs to prove Clemens is guilty. Clemens should not have to prove he is innocent.

I don't have an opinion one way or another on Clemens' innocence or guilt because, frankly, I don't care.
But a few points about your points:
1) Taped conversation. Notice during the conversation he never asks McNamee "Why did you lie about injecting me with steroids when you know that I've never taken them?" or something along those lines.
2) He offers a report on his career. So?
3) His stats. His stats are tremendous. The best pitcher of his generation. How good would they have to be for you to be at least a little suspicious?
4) His body hasn't changed. Besides for Kevin Brown, can you name a pitcher that has either been suspended or listed on the Mitchell Report whose body has noticibly changed? The hitters bulk up for the power. The pitchers are aiming for recovery and the extra 2-3 MPH, not turning into Barry Bonds.
