Clemens gives interview a day following indictment
Baseball Betting Lines
08/20/2010 -
Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Speaking publicly for the first time since being
indicted by a federal grand jury for making false statements to Congress
about using performance-enhancing drugs, Roger Clemens said several times he
is looking forward to having his say on the matter.
"It's not fun, but I'm not going to talk about what we have ahead of us,"
Clemens told Boston radio station WEEI during their Jimmy Fund Telethon. "I
have a great (legal) team. Rusty (Hardin) has been fantastic. That's really
all I'm going to say about it. I'm not going to get into the details. In time
we'll get to have our say."
On Thursday, Clemens was charged with one count of Obstruction of Congress,
three counts of making false statements and two counts of perjury. The
U.S. Attorney's office said Clemens would likely face 15-21 months in prison
with a conviction.
"I never took HGH or steroids. And I did not lie to Congress," Clemens said
on his Twitter account Thursday. "I look forward to challenging the
governments accusations, and hope people will keep an open mind until trial. I
appreciate all the support I have been getting. I am happy to finally have my
day in court."
In February 2008, Clemens testified before the House Committee on Oversight
that he never took performance-enhancing drugs. However, Brian McNamee,
Clemens' ex-trainer, testified to the contrary and has said repeatedly that
he injected the seven-time Cy Young Award winner with steroids and human
growth hormone from 1998-2001.
The hearings came several months after the release of the Mitchell Report, in
which McNamee claimed he injected Clemens with steroids and HGH.
The 48-year-old Clemens, who has been out of baseball since 2007, has said
the only thing McNamee ever injected into him was a pain-killer called
lidocaine and the vitamin B-12.
During the interview with WEEI he also acknowledged that he no longer speaks
with current Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte, a friend of his for many years.
In December 2007, Pettitte admitted to past HGH use and apologized for his
actions.

Stanley Cup betting
New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
