Debbie Clemens was on HGH Too?

So-called evidence brought forth today further reveals that Roger Clemens could have been on steroids. This evidence, handed over by attorneys of Brian McNamee, Clemen's former trainer, consisted of needles, gauze to clean blood after injections, testosterone vials, and a Miller Lite beer can that was used to store Clemen's needles. McNamee kept the items because he felt he could not trust Clemens and wanted something to use as proof if anything like this came up. Of course, Roger Clemens is denying everything.

The big deal right now that is being Googled all over the US is what McNamee revealed about Clemens' wife Debbie. He states that he himself injected Debbie Clemens with HGH (human growth hormone) before an appearance with Roger in a 2003 swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated. And get this, McNamee says Roger was the one to ask him to inject her. In the issue, Roger and Debbie Clemens were photographed in New York City's Central Park. She was wearing a bikini and holding a bat above Roger Clemens, who was laying on the ground in uniform. Her body was ripped and it appeared she had worked out for hours every day. Now after hearing this statement, we wonder was her body real or was it the hormone injection?

HGH is produced in the pituitary gland in the brain and secreted in larger quantities when we are children and growing. HGH is responsible for the growth of our cells, bones, muscles, and organs. HGH secretion peaks in our teenage years - you know, the time when we hit our "growth spurt" and grow rapidly. From there, secretion declines with age.

So, that is why people like Clemens and wife Debbie and a lot of other athletes are taking HGH injections. The injections build muscle mass, help people to lose weight, reduce wrinkles, increase energy levels, improve emotional stability and improve sex stamina. Even though these benefits sound wonderful, there are health risks and negative side effects.
