So, now Clemens admits that he actually did have some injections in the buttocks (not from Andy Pettite), but absolutely not performance enhancers.Here's his story (and he might stick to it)...He had injections of Lidocaine and vitamin B12...Why would he do that, here's why (clinically). He would have a Lidocaine injection for numbing of areas near the skin. Bruises and contusions might call for a lidocaiine injection. B12, on the other hand, is injected to aid the user in weight loss.
So, what were Rocket's injuries during the period when he played for Toronto? He had a couple that kept him out of the rotation- pulled muscles in his ribs and a nagging hamstring. Perhaps these injuries kept him off of his cardio schedule, so his weight became an issue, but Lidocaine? I dunno...
You be the judge, does this add up?

Did you see the trainer's response, thru his attorney of course.
"He has a master's degree in sports medicine, I think he knows the difference between Lidocaine, B12, and Testosterone.
The Rocket has now become "The Spaced-Out Needle" in my book. Too bad he never pitched for Seattle huh?
LIAR!!!!!!!
His career was headed south due to a deteriorating body in Toronto...but B12* & Lidocaine** brought him out of the twilight of his MLB years.
*HGH
**Testosterone
Doesn't everyone claim "B-12"?? I think Palmeiro said that is what he thought he was getting injected with.
I'm getting injected with it as I sit at my desk...That's how I keep my girlish figure.
Roger's laying the groundwork for his 60 Minutes interview this weekend. I'm very curious to hear it all...but really, did anyone think a few weeks ago that everything Roger was doing was completely natural and then when the Mitchell Report came out we all went, "Wha???" Come on, people. Bonds wasn't mentioned in it, but do we suddenly think he's clean?
