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?

Why are you only thinking from Clemens' side? This is not like the Bonds situation, where it's general interest against Bonds.
Here we are in a situation with one person against another person. You are offering tons of reasons to doubt McNamee, without bothering to considering the alternative explanations that would favor McNamee, or casting any doubt toward Clemens. There are tons of ways to reasonably explain McNamee's actions so far, but I don't see the need to speculate, since the hearing is coming up.
McNamee is simply a worthless human being to you, while Clemens is someone you have to defend over McNamee?
