Steroids in baseball

The World

Hearings on steroids in baseball are being held now by the Congressional Oversight Committee. Brian McNamee, the former personal trainer to superstar pitcher Roger Clemens, insists that he injected Clemens with steroids and Human Growth Hormone numerous times between 1998 and 2001. Roger says McNamee lying, and now a major governmental committee has been dispatched to sort this out. A lawyer had to sit between McNamee and Clemens at the hearing today, reportedly to prevent a fist fight. And that may have been a good idea, because things got hot. Joining Faith with more on the steroid hearings is Fair Game’s Brian Donovan.
