Clemens-steroids evidence link on McNamee items

Federal authorites have found “performance-enhancing substances” on various paraphernalia that his former trainer, Brian McNamee, had kept squirreled away for year before surrendering it. Clemens DNA has already been found in blood residue from a McNamee syringe.

Clemens’ big-mouth legal mouthpiece, Rusty Hardin, claims in the story that McNamee planted it. Hmm, wonder exactly how he’s parsing that. Would love to see McNamee sue Hardin as well as Clemens and shut his fat ass up.

And, despite Hardin “worrying” about chain of custody of the evidence, a go-to legal expert “in the story” says a typical judge would likely rule the evidence admissible.

ESPN legal eagle Lester Munson also says Clemens should worry.

It is easily enough to get him indicted. Plus, some nice physical evidence like syringes are always fun for a jury to handle.
