Baseball great Clemens 'received HGH' from confessed drug supplier in mail

Confessed drug supplier Kirk Radomski provided documentary evidence showing that he shipped drugs to Roger Clemens, who is under investigation for perjury after telling Congress he never used steroids or human growth hormone, acccording to a report on the website of the New York Daily News.

The report states Radomski discovered shipping receipts for a package of two kits of HGH that he sent to Clemens at the pitcher's house in Houston in 2002 or 2003.

Citing unnamed sources, the Daily News reports the package was addressed to William Roger Clemens, in care of Brian McNamee, who apparently did not sign for the package.

'I can't imagine that there's any truth to that at all,' Clemens' lawyer Rusty Hardin told the newspaper. 'We'll find out one day Roger never received or took the stuff.'

The timing of the shipment to Clemens' home is apparently around the same time that his wife, Debbie, used HGH in preparation for her pictorial in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

A seven-time Cy Young Award winner, the 45-year-old Clemens denied under oath using human growth hormone or having any prior knowledge that his wife was going
to use HGH.
