First Clemens found himself in the middle of the steroid controversy. After that, Clemens and Mindy McCready were in a sex scandal. (No word if Viagra played a part in that scandal.)

Why would Clemens need Viagra on the baseball field? According to experts, Viagra can help with endurance and help with delivering oxygen to muscles. Obviously, Viagra can also be used to fight impotence that could be caused by tacking some forms of steroids.

Did Roger Clemens take Viagra to boost his baseball performance? We’ll likely never know for sure. Viagra was legal in baseball’s eyes for Clemens to take when he played. In fact, Viagra is still legal to take today in baseball.

Should baseball ban Viagra and put it on its illegal performance enhancers list? They should consult with the wives first before making any drastic changes.

Raise your hands if you’ve ever taken Viagra.

According to a report in the New York Daily News, Roger Clemens and country music star Mindy McCready had an affair that lasted approximately ten years. Clemens, who is married, reportedly consummated an intimate relationship with McCready shortly after the two met.

To add gasoline to this story, McCready was only 15-years-old when she met Clemens – who was 28 at the time. The two met at a bar when Clemens was out on the town with his Boston Red Sox teammates.

On the record, representatives of Clemens have denied the affair. The representatives are calling McCready a “friend of the family”. McCready has been vague when asked to give details, but said “I cannot refute anything in the story.”

Expect this topic to get even juicier over the next few days. I’m not sure what’s next for Clemens in 2008 because at this rate, he’s going to run out of available scandals. The only thing that appears not to be in the cards is a return to baseball.

In case you don’t know who Mindy McCready is, here she is singing, “Guys Do It All The Time.” Hmm…
