of course, one of the side-effects of steroids is lying...

In his 60 Minutes interview, Roger Clemens said former trainer Brian McNamee injected him with Lidocaine and B-12, never with steroids or human growth hormone. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that can be used by dentists and in minor surgery. It also is available as part of ointments used to treat skin inflammation. "Lidocaine and B-12. It's for my joints, and B-12 I still take today," Clemens told Mike Wallace. McNamee claimed to have injected Clemens with steroids in 1998, 2000 and 2001 and with human growth hormone in 2000.
