En un desesperado e inútil intento por presentarse como inocente, Clemens intentó en vano de demandar a quien había sido su trainer personal.
En medio del escádalo apareció Mindy McCready, quien dijo haber sostenido una turbulenta y apasionada relación amorosa con Clemens.
El Daily News también dijo...: "Clemens, un hombre muy grande, parece ahora muy pequeño. Tanto, que un hospital de Houston removió recientemente su nombre del "Roger Clemens Sports Institute", aun cuando él ha aportado millones de dólares para esa institución.
Y si Roger Clemens no ha sido ningún modelo como ciudadano, tampoco lo ha sido dentro del terreno de juego. Durante la Serie Mundial 2000 le tiró a pegar a Mike Piazza la mitad de un bate que se le había quebrado (a Mike) y lo falló solo por poco.
Lo más grave del personaje Clemens, es que no necesitaba droga alguna para ser un buen lanzador, y menos necesitaba tratar de causarle daño a Piazza. Con 354 juegos ganados (184 derrotas), cuatro mil 672 strikeouts, y efectividad de 3,12 en 24 temporadas, hubiera volado hacia Cooperstown en cuanto apareciera como candidato. Ahora, ¿quién sabe?, por que no obstante esos notables números, muchos de los electores se niegan a votar por mentirosos como Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro y él.
