07/04/2009 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens was reportedly not among the 100-plus players who tested positive for performance-enhancing substances in 2003, when the league conducted an anonymous drug test throughout the league.
According to a report in the New York Times, Clemens' lead lawyer, Rusty Hardin, said he acquired the results of the test that found the pitcher to have tested negative.
While the test results were supposed to remain anonymous, Hardin claimed that Clemens waived that right and requested the results. Several names have been leaked from the list, such as current Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who has since admitted his usage of PEDs.
The assertions that Clemens tested negative in 2003 will have no bearing on his current legal troubles involving former Yankees trainer Brian McNamee. In the Mitchell Report, which was released in 2007 in an attempt to discover how prevalent PEDs were in baseball, McNamee claimed he injected Clemens with several substances from 1998-2001. The trainer did not make any claims about 2003. The supposed negative test result was not entered into evidence as part of the case.
Clemens has come under much scrutiny for his steadfast denial of PEDs following his exit from baseball after the 2007 season. Regardless of whether he used or not, he put up tremendous career statistics, compiling a 354-184 record with a 3.12 earned run average in 24 seasons with Boston, New York, Toronto and Houston. Clemens currently ranks third all-time with 4,672 career strikeouts.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
