What a tangled web…

The scandals surrounding Roger Clemens continue to become more weird by the day.

First, he is accused of taking performance enhancing drugs. He denies this accusation but it is later revealed that his wife [and his best friend] have both taken these drugs. Now, he is accused of having an affair with Mindy McCready dating back to when the country singer was 15.

And then yesterday, Roger Clemens issues a statement in which he says, “I need to say that I have made many mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry.” Of course, he also, in the same statement, denies any and all allegations that have been made. He said, “I realize that many people want me to simply confess and apologize for the conduct that I have been accused of, but I cannot confess to, nor apologize for, things I did not do.”

So, I’m really confused. What exactly is Roger apologizing for if all of the accusations made against him are false? Again and again it seems that Roger’s explanation just doesn’t add up, and it reminds me of being a kid and seeing a small lie that you told your parents blossom into something something so outrageous that eventually you had to confess to your web of deception. I don’t know if Roger is guilty of any or all of what others have said Roger is done, but regardless of what actually happened, he continues to communicate in a way that seems to damage his integrity.
