Since this story broke, my question has always been, “why would the trainer lie about one player and tell the truth about another?” Another I continue to have is what does he have to gain? As I watched the interview on 60 Minutes, I really wanted to believe Roger Clemens, but I don’t think that happened.

When Mike Wallace asked point blank if he did steroids, that’s the one time that Roger did not maintain eye contact. Now is this the only reason I don’t believe him? No, but check out this article on how to detect lies and see what you think. Here’s another page of information about detecting lies just in case you want to know more. Of course I’m probably bias in my opinion so I’m probably looking for signs to confirm my opinion.

Clemens’ interview today did not help much either. Not that I was expecting a polished speech, but his demeanor continues to leave a bad taste in my opinion.

So that’s where I’m left at this point. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but his sell of it just isn’t there for me.
