The Smoking Butt
Brian McNamee claims Roger Clemens developed an abscess on his butt due to steroid injections. The New York Times can't find anyone to confirm that.
But did Clemens have an abscess in 1998? Three members of the Blue Jays' organization that season, including one of the team's two trainers, said in recent interviews that they did not recall any abscess associated with Clemens that year.
In addition, Clemens's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, said Friday that McNamee had made the same assertion about an abscess to Hardin's investigators Dec. 12. He said they followed up by contacting both Blue Jays trainers from that season, neither of whom backed McNamee's account.
This story can't go much lower.

Put them under oath, then see if anyone can remember. Otherwise it matters not.
Let's hope that Chairman Waxman isn't a student of baseball history, or he'll order a seance to make The Mick explain that bleeding abcess in his hip from the 1961 World Series:
Waxman: "Vitamin shot? Who do you think you're fooling, Mr. Mantle?"
Mantle: "Braaaiiinns."
