Only reason the feds prosecuted the case was because both parties in Congress demanded a prosecution after Clemens lied in front of Congress about his steroid use.

The fact of the matter is that Clemens DID do the steroids. The evidence included a needle and cotton with Clemens’s DNA on them that tested positive for steroids. The problem with the prosecution came with the govt's main witness Brian McNamee.

He gave the evidence to investigators by McNamee, who said he saved needles, gauze and vials from one of the injections in 2001. He told jurors he kept some of the items in a Miller Lite beer can that he took from the recycling bin in Clemens’s apartment. He brought the materials home, combined them with other drugs Clemens told him to destroy and placed it all in a FedEx box, he testified.

Under cross-examination, he said the beer can also contained needles kept from injections he gave other ballplayers. That admission allowed Clemens’s lawyers attack the credibility of the government’s only physical evidence. The defense portrayed McNamee as a liar who manipulated the evidence he provided.

Hopefully they dont waste any more time going after these big name people for small charges (Edwards, Clemens, Bonds) and focus on more important matters like bringing charges against the people who precipitated the great recession.
