| Clemens holds press conference, plays tape of call to McNamee
At an hour long press conference on Monday, embattled pitcher Roger Clemens again denied his use of steroids and human growth hormone and stated his case for filing a lawsuit against his former trainer, Brian McNamee. Clemens has been under fire since his name surfaced in the Mitchell Report, a Major League Baseball sanctioned investigation into the use of steroids in the game led by the former Senator George Mitchell. A visibly angry Clemens answered questions for approximately 20 minutes after his attorney, Rusty Hardin, opened the press conference and after a 17-minute taped phone conversation between Clemens and McNamee on January 4. In the recording, McNamee never denied Clemens' claim that he never used steroids, which amounted to proof that Clemens was telling the truth, according to Hardin.

No further talks were scheduled, but an industry spokesperson said after Wednesday's eight-hour session that union negotiators had told studio officials they would contact them on Friday.
