NY Times reporter fresh from screwing up the Duke rape case hitches wagon to Yankees

NY Times says today: "Clemens — the only player to challenge the Mitchell report —"

• I'm not sure this is correct. Mike Stanton and David Justice have adamantly denied its allegations (possibly others).

• For Stanton that he had "purchased" HGH while on the Mets--not Yankees. And Justice, that he'd "purchased" HGH after the 2000 World Series. There is no canceled check and no proof.

None of these names are actually "Mitchell Report" names--they're from a federal report from New York area clubhouse workers a xerox of which was handed to the Mitchell Group.

• Reference, NY Times article by "Duff" Wilson, "Friendlier Tone, but Plenty of Tough Talk," 1/16/08

Paul Byrd didn't have to "challenge" the report. He just said his HGH use was "a private matter." He has an intact life as if nothing happened, no problem. I wonder why the difference in the treatment of Paul Byrd vs certain others....

• "Duff" Wilson and the Duke Lacrosse rape case.
