In what could be a big problem for Roger Clemens, syringes reportedly have the Rocket's DNA on them. The syringes had been turned over to authorities by his former trainer Brian McNamee, who claimed he used them to inject Clemens with steroids, an accusation Clemens and his attorney Rusty Hardin deny. The tests are still subject to verification and, most importantly, what they were used for has to be established. Yesterday Hardin downplayed the DNA evidence saying, "It will still be evidence fabricated by McNamee.” However, if the tests prove to be correct and that the syringes did contain steroids or HGH instead of "healthy juice", Clemens would probably face charges for lying to federal investigators and to Congress.
