As for all your book deal speculations. If that was the case, why haven't McNamee done that much earlier? For example, he could have started making money on that supposedly book a couple of years ago, when Canseco was making money on a steroids book.

These are all wild speculations, and you have to realize in the end McNamee is not really anyone. He's not exactly powerful and rich like Clemens. If we got the fact about McNamee wrong, the damage to him would destroy his life, as opposed to Clemens simply have to hide in his huge mansions.
If the syringes are to be used as evidence then why shouldnt i question the motivation. Are people not doing the same when they accept that Clemens did steroids because he was an aging pitcher?

Most people do not write a book before things happen. Yeah he could have accused Clemens before the Mitchell investigation so why didnt he? If he was keeping syringes he obviously thought he might need them as evidence.
Only when he was that he was in the spotlight he offers his truth.

Why should it matter if it would not hurt Clemens as much? The truth is the truth no matter who it hurts or doesnt hurt. Are we suppose to not be suspicious of someones motivation because it might hurt them if we are?
But its ok to be suspicious of someone because they have money?

Why would Clemens go through what is gonna cost him probably a lot of money if he was guilty? Why not just keep your mouth shut until the MLB does something. Theres no guarantee he wouldnt make the HOF even if he did admit using steroids a few years. So why would Clemens go through all this if he wasnt innocent?

I know Clemens may be a jerk and thats probably why a lot of people want to see him caught or beleived that he did do it. But McNamee is very questionable witness. I dont doubt he did the steroids but the guy has lied to police, he lied and said he didnt do steroids. Now he says he did.
So which is the truth with this guy?
