Murcer's Take On The Mitchell Report
Murcer defended Yankee pitchers Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte who were accused of using performance enhancing drugs in the Mitchell Report, which was released in December 2007. Murcer was quoted in the Daily Oklahoman as saying, "Roger or Andy, either one, have never been accused of taking illegal drugs," Murcer said. "I mean, they never tested positive for any of that. He further added "I can't convict somebody on allegations" and "with all the testing that's going on today, and Andy and Roger never testing positive for anything, I can't assume somebody's guilty based on the testimony of a disgruntled trainer."
