| 18th January, 2008 - 9:01 am | ESPN - Joe Torre had no suspicions about Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte using performance-enhancing drugs when they were playing for him with the New York Yankees.
"I didn't see anything that made me suspicious," Torre said Thursday. "But I don't investigate players. I get to know them. If they want to talk, then you're available for them and stuff like that."
Clemens and Pettitte were among the players implicated in last month's Mitchell Report on doping in baseball. Their former trainer Brian McNamee told investigator George Mitchell that he injected Clemens at least 16 times with steroids and human growth hormone in 1998, 2000, and 2001. Clemens has denied the accusation, and he filed a defamation lawsuit against McNamee.
Pettitte acknowledged McNamee injected him twice with HGH as the pitcher was trying to recover from a sore elbow in 2002. [READ] |
