...This hearing, which offers more prurient interest and photo opps than the Mitchell/Selig/Fehr testimony, basically pits Clemens against McNamee, his ex-friend and personal trainer. Clemens has angrily denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs, while McNamee told Mitchell that he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone on at least 16 occasions from 1998 to 2001. Clemens, regarded as perhaps the greatest pitcher of all time, has unleashed a high-profile assault to clear his name - a 60 Minutes interview, a seething press conference, even a defamation suit against McNamee.

I was involved in two [Himalayan] expeditions in 1951, and then another one 1952, before doing the top of Everest. I remember in 1951 we got to Australia to head for the Himalayas and we were interviewed by a large number of press people in Sydney. When we told them we weren't going to climb Mt. Everest they completely lost interest...
