Clemens Latest Alleged Affair Involved Eight Belles

By Rusty Weiss 

In the tumultuous world that is the sexual history of Roger Clemens, perhaps the most disturbing news has come from an anonymous source at the Daily News today.  In their continued effort to uncover the many alleged affairs of Clemens, the Daily News is reporting that he and Eight Belles had an alleged intimate relationship.  The most stunning news isn’t that this was yet another affair for a married man with four children.  No, it was that the alleged relationship began when Ms. Belles was no more than a foal.

The alleged affair came to light with a recent investigation into the possibility that Eight Belles injuries at last week’s Kentucky Derby may have been a result of steroid use.  Larry Jones, trainer for the fallen animal ordered the drug testing amidst a firestorm of speculation that the horse was far too muscular to have been due to natural means.  The growth, it was rumored, had to be due to steroid use.

An investigation into these charges has now been expanded.  Thus far, the investigation has turned up several used vials of what trainers are referring to as ‘Vitamin B’ in the horse’s stall.  Investigators say the vials contained growth hormone and had Clemens fingerprints on them. 

Belles old stall-mate, a colt named Offtodagluefactory remembers, “I knew something was up last summer.  Bellie and I weren’t sure of our future as racehorses.  I was talking to her about a job I heard about at some show in Tijuana.  She went with me to check it out.  Moral support, ya know?  I walked out immediately when I heard the pay was only one bag of oats a day.  I mean, come on, no apples?  To do that?”

“So we’re talking later that night, right, and I could see something was bothering her.  She said that Roger, Jose Canseco, and Miguel Tejada were at the show, and that Roger kept buying her drinks.  I remember asking, ‘Does he know you’re a foal for christ’s sake?’  She just broke down crying.”

“I guess you can call it the three T’s,” he said.  “Tijuana, Tejada, and Tequila.”

Another fellow racehorse, Too Old For Me said, “I knew about it almost immediately.  Clemens was talking to me on his ranch in Houston one day.  Then the conversation turned to Eight Belles.  He always confided in me for some reason.  Maybe he figured - Hey, it’s a horse, she won’t tell anyone.”

“Anyway, he mentioned how he had injected steroids into Belles buttocks for weeks now.  Then he just smiled and said, ‘That wasn’t the only thing I injected, baby!’  I whinnied in disgust and trotted off.”

Messages to Clemens home were not immediately returned.

Rusty Hardin, lawyer for Clemens had this to say, “Roger is experiencing a very difficult stretch, and he hopes to address all of your questions at some point.  Today however, he has spent most of his day dispelling rumors of an affair with Barbara Walters, a horse of a different color so to speak.”
