The Roger Clemens Steroid Trial

How much longer will the issue of MLB players abusing steroids go on? First Barry Bonds, now Roger Clemens. He is the latest athlete to testify before Congress that he never used any performance-enhancing drugs, including Human Growth Hormones. People close to Clemens, including his wife Debbie, former personal trainer Brian McNamee, and fellow pitcher and friend Andy Pettitte, are individually telling their own sides of the story.
Throughout much of this day, I've heard and read some news articles that Clemens repeatedly said the same answers to Congress' ongoing statements and questioning during the trial. Will there ever be an end to the scandals that are plaguing America's pasttime? Who will be plead guilty as this and future trials are brought up? And will fans still idolize their heroes after these hearings? As baseball fans we have yet to see how this will turn out.
