Arod gets in deeper-what a surprise!

I kid of course, its NOT a surprise. From MSNBC:

The embattled Yankees slugger reportedly has had a long relationship with a steroid-linked trainer who has been banned from private areas of every major league ballpark, according to the New York Daily News.

Angel Presinal, whose name surfaced in the Mitchell Report, was with Rodriguez in New York and Miami as recently as this past fall, the Daily News reported. Presinal's issues with MLB stemmed from a 2001 incident with an unmarked gym bag full of steroids. Baseball officials have warned players to stay away from him.

The Daily News also reported Presinal accompanied A-Rod for the entire 2007 season, staying in the same hotel as A-Rod, but in a separate room with the "cousin" Rodriguez identified as his steroid source from 2001-03.

The cousin was identified Thursday as Yuri Sucart.

"[Presinal] was around Alex in 2007," according to the Daily News. "Every hotel they went to, he stayed in the same room with Yuri. You would never see Alex with [Presinal]. They would meet in one of their rooms."

This comes on the heels of another report from ESPNDeportes.com that Primobolan, the drug Rodriguez says he and his cousin used between 2001 and 2003, wasn't available for legal purchase. During his Tuesday press conference in which he explained his past drug use, Rodriguez claimed he and his cousin, Sucart, bought "boli" from a pharmacy in the Dominican Republic.

"What Alex Rodriguez stated at the press conference [in Tampa] doesn't make sense," said Dr. Pia Veras, who oversees the regulatory agency. "It is important for us to clarify that such substance has not been registered and is not currently registered for legal sale in Dominican pharmacies -- not now and the same applies for the years 2001 to 2003."

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. Kiss that hall of fame nomination good bye Arod...cuz it's gone dude.

A picture is worth a thousand words..

Especially a picture showing Clemens at Canseco's party no?

Ah yes..it surely should shut the piehole of Clemens and his attorneys now wouldn't you say?

But I ain't holding my breath..like Marion Drew-Jones..he could lie for years before confessing the truth..but..to avoid a Barroid Bonds type of problem.. he might want to rethink that position.

McNamee has physical evidence on Clemens..

I report, you decide..Per The Sports Network:

New York, NY (Sports Network) - The Roger Clemens steroid controversy has reportedly taken another turn that could damage the star pitcher's claims that he has never taken performance-enhancing drugs.

According to a report by the New York Daily News, Brian McNamee, Clemens' former personal trainer, has turned over physical evidence to federal investigators that could support the findings in the Mitchell Report.

"This is evidence the government has that we believe will corroborate Brian in every significant way," McNamee lawyer Earl Ward told the Daily News.

McNamee's attorneys did not tell the paper the exact nature of the evidence, but the Daily News cited a source close to McNamee as saying investigators are now in possession of vials with traces of steroids and growth hormone, as well as blood-stained syringes and gauze pads that may contain Clemens' DNA.

Clemens gave a closed-door deposition to Congress on Tuesday, in preparation for next Wednesday's public hearing, and emerged from the five-hour session by saying "it was great to be able to tell them what I've been saying all along -- that I never used steroids or (human) growth hormone. I look forward to being here, I guess, in this room next week."

McNamee is slated to give a private deposition to Congress on Thursday, at which time he will likely talk about the alleged physical evidence.

"We will provide Congress with corroborative physical evidence that takes this case out of the he-said, she-said purview," another McNamee lawyer, Richard Emery, told the Daily News. "From our point of view, this corroborates that Brian told the truth from Day One and Clemens has not."

Here is the link to the NY Daily News piece referenced in the Sports Network piece.

Et tu Barry?

Could Barroid Bonds expect this length of sentence if and when he is convicted of lying to federal investigators over the same BalCo investigation as Ms. Jones?

The former Olympic track gold medalist was sentenced to six months in prison Friday for lying to investigators about using performance-enhancing drugs and her role in a check-fraud scam.

The money quote from maid Marion: "I ask you to be as merciful as a human being can be,"

Judge could of gave her longer. From Da Judge: He said Jones damaged two federal investigations with lies that came years apart, so "I don't think the criminal conduct can be written off as a momentary lapse of judgment or a one-time mistake, but instead a repetition of an attempt to break the law."

Sucks to be you Ms. Jones...hopefully Barroid was paying attention.
