Roger Clemens' Son Speaks Out

When Roger Clemens was accused of using steroids by his former trainer, it stunned and angered a lot of his supporters here in Houston. Now his oldest son Koby is speaking out to tell others how this accusation has impacted him and his family:

“It kills me that this is happening to my dad,” Koby Clemens, an Astros’ prospect, said after Monday’s workout. “What he’s done for the game and what now is being turned back to him for what he’s done for the game is tough. It’s hard on me, but you can’t imagine how hard it is on my dad.”

Koby Clemens, the pitcher’s oldest son, said the ordeal has made his family stronger and brought its members closer together.

Sometimes we forget the effect situations have on a family member. If the allegations are later proved false, that will not erase the damage it has caused.
