McNamee A Rapist?

Former New York Yankee strength coach told Senator George Mitchell he injected former Major League Baseball player Roger Clemens with human growth hormones and steroids, but more issues has crossed McNamee's path. According to detectives, it's possible McNamee lied during a investigation involving rape in 2001.

In 2001, McNamee denied having sex with a woman in a hotel pool, but security guards and other witnesses saw them according to police. McNamee's attorney called the detectives to arrange an interview.

"I explained to him that his client did talk with me once, and he lied to me," written by St. Petersburg Police detective Donald Crotty in a report. Charges wasn't filed from the state attorneys office.

Clemens used this incidents as an example of McNamee's dishonesty in a defamation lawsuit which was filed on Sunday in Texas.

Clemens claims McNamee wasn't truthful when stated he injected Clemens with human growth hormones and steroids. Clemens is a seven-time Cy Young award winner, and says McNamee has ruin his image.

"The significant thing is, when this guy's rear end is in trouble, does he lie?" said Clemens attorney Rusty Hardin. Clemens believe this helps his lawsuit against McNamee, and Hardin and himself has the edge. The lawsuit reports: "McNamee's explanation was totally at odds with the conclusions of the police officers conducting the official investigation in St. Petersburg."

McNamee's attorney Earl Ward disbelieves the St. Petersburg incident will not help Clemens lawsuit against McNamee. He said, the information that was given to Mitchell by NcNamee about Clemens involvement with performance enhancing drugs was believable to the senator and that will help McNamee fight this lawsuit.

"The bottom line is that allegation in Florida was investigated, and it went nowhere," Ward said. "It's just an attempt to further damage his character. It has no relevance." Ward believes bringing up this allegation has something to do with Clemens lawsuit, and their not worried.

It was released Tuesday by the St. Petersburg police that McNamee was accused of raping a women he met at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort in October 2001. The Yankees were in town facing the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, and many players and others were attending the Renaissance Vinoy Resort with McNamee.

The document stated, McNamee was having sex with a women in the pool and refused to stop when security confronted them. The police were informed, and when they arrived McNamee was helping this women out the pool and were getting dressed. This women was taken to the hospital, and they found GHB, "date-rape drug" in her system.

The women told detectives she didn't remember what had happen in the pool between her and McNameee. She continued saying she didn't give McNamee permission to have sex with her, and other witnesses heard this women telling McNamee "no" during this incident. Detectives found her jewelry, and a water bottom containing GHB near the pool.

The Police interviewed McNamee hours later, and he denied having sex with her. He refused to submit a DNA sample according to documents. Despite not having charges pressed against him, this incident ended McNamee's career with the Yankees.
