You might be right; working on that assumption I'd prefer a player just keep silent on the issue like Mark McGwire has done. Clemens' denials are calling into question the integrity of others such as Sen Mitchell and this trainer who spilled the beans. Again, it's reminiscent of Pete Rose calling guys like Dowd and Jansen liars.
McGwire hasn't called anyone a liar. He kept his mistake at one while Pete and Clemens are duplicating theirs.
