Federal agents have questioned another gym owner in Texas as part of their perjury investigation of Roger Clemens. Kelly Blair, the owner of 1-on-1 Elite Personal Fitness in Pasadena, said Tuesday that he met with two F.B.I. agents in late March at his home. He said the agents questioned him about whether he had ever given Clemens performance-enhancing drugs and his connections to several other baseball players. Blair has been linked in published reports to providing Andy Pettitte's father, Tom, with human growth hormone. Tom Pettitte has said he has taken H.G.H. to treat health problems

Perhaps they should have questioned him as to why his parents gave him a female name and if Clemens ever rented a hotel room with him while he was married.

What really makes this story is that Tom Pettitte is/was on HGH... What the hell, the guy is a high school teacher. So then does Andy's mom do blow too?

Ask him this: What's it like to be a child molestor?

Pasadena is right around the corner from where I live, and some areas are pretty shady..This is hilarious, because drugs are run through this area all the time. There is a great chance that this story has some definition and truth. Hopeully this thread provides hours of entertainment....

You are incorrect with your assessment---Tom Pettitte is actually a preacher at his own church, while the wife is a high-school teacher in Deer Park High School.

HA! Even better... Oh the poor state of baby-daddy in America. And, oh the poor state of the Men of the Cloth.

Any idea what medical condition Mr.Pettitte has? - No
I will try to find out, so I can give an educated comment on this for you. Additionally Andy Pettitte is the only player to admit to the American public that he had any involvment with this stuff. I think that gives him creditbility. Your comment is a pot-shot at Andy Pettitte when they should be geared toward Roider Clemens....Just a thought..

@#1astrofan: Touche'

You're right, the Pettitte family doesn't have anything to do with it. But Pettitte doesn't gain credibility for admitting that cheated because he still cheated.

Imagine this: You and I are playing Monopoly, I steal a bunch of money from the bank, then win the game. Do you forgive me and think of me as credible if I admit, after I won, that I cheated?

The answer is probably no.

@Roger Clemens: Oh how quickly you have fallen from grace. Even if, by some miracle, he is found to be telling the truth he will never be though of as clean.

It's like the Salem witches. Sink or swim... Prove you're not a witch and they still burn you alive.

These are my thoughts as well!

us gov if you cheat at monopoly and dont tell me then I give you less credit, then if you tell me. However in this case Andy was accused of taking the monopoly money and he admitted it rather than deny it. So draw your conclusions from there.
Clemens seems to have taken the monopoly money a few railroads and bought some hotels and landed on free parking but he is still denying that it all happened.

U.S. Goverment - Touche'

Very good point, and you are correct - The answer is NO...I will take that one right on the chin..
