I wasn't surprised at all. I followed that trial and after Pettitte said his chances of remembering that conversation were 50-50, I knew it was over.

Not only that, but what happened recently with Ryan Braun (him getting off on a technicality due to an improper chain of command), I figured the same would hold true here and it looks like it may have. I genuinely feel bad for McNamee if he did indeed store that material as it was and didn't doctor it up. He felt it was the smoking gun, Clemens disposed of material. Nobody could say he was lying, here was proof. That's no good nowadays. He had to follow proper storing techniques and due to the lack of this, it was all for not.
