Clemens told to prove innocence or return awards

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling has called on Roger Clemens to give up four of his Cy Young Awards if he cannot clear his name after allegations in the Mitchell report that he used steroids.

While Clemens has denied allegations detailed by former Sen. George Mitchell's report into doping in Major League Baseball, Schilling wrote in his blog (38pitches.com) that he believes Clemens must take legal action to prove his innocence.

"Roger has denied every allegation brought to the table," Schilling wrote.
\++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\

When was Curt Schilling made the fricking judge, jury and execution. Hey Curt, last time I checked we lived in America and that people are innocent until proven guilty.

4. Yeah but Schilling's "Holier than thou" act is getting old
Let's face it - Clemens will be the pitcher that will be remembered during this era - not Schilling.

10. Well, to be honest, I agree with him...
...I'll admit Schilling is getting a bit tiresome with his attitude, but on the whole I agree with him on this.

12. I'm with Schill
Clemens is a juiced up fraud, post-1997.

As an aside, I like Schilling's loudmouth act. It's actually kind of refreshing in a day when most athletes spout platitudes

14. Quite the contrary
Schilling has been a stabilizing influence on a staff with a bunch of talented kids like Beckett, Matsuzaka, Lester, Buchholz, and Papelbon.

15. And it does seem funny to me that, just after he joined the...
...Blue Jays is when his resurgence began. That is when he began juicing, no?
