In his postgame comments during which he called Commissioner Roger Goodell a “crook,” Steelers linebacker James Harrison made a very good point about his upcoming PED interview.

“I wouldn’t have a problem with it being filmed live,” Harrison said. “I’ve been prosecuted and persecuted, you know, publicly in the media by them for something I didn’t do. So I don’t see why we couldn’t have the media there and do a live interview. They can ask whatever questions they want and I can answer them. You all can see whatever evidence they say they got.”

If they did nothing wrong, they have nothing to fear.

Can't think of anything I could hold onto that would lead me to believe Clay isn't guilty. Yes, he's fooled his fair share of tests, for sure, but someone got the goods on him this time and he's going down.

BTW, I'm using circumstantial evidence as well as common sense in my view of Julius and Clay. What Al Jazeera reported isn't really all that relevant to me. I thought Clay, in particular, was a user from the time he got here. Julius was busted for ephedra during his rookie year. Does he use PED's? A guy his age trying to hang in the league to get his millions and win a title? I think the odds are better than not that he uses.
