From today’s ESPN article about the Roger Clemens/Brian McNamee saga:

Brian McNamee told federal law enforcement officials that Roger Clemens developed an abscess on his buttocks around the time that McNamee said he was giving him steroid injections in 1998, a lawyer with knowledge of details of the case told The New York Times.

For some reason when I imagine this I see a large polar bear with a red spot from a tranqulizer dart on its rear.

“It is far less likely that any injection of vitamin B12 or lidocaine, which is usually not injected deep into the body, would have created an abscess,” said Dr. Gary I. Wadler, a member of the World Anti-Doping Agency, according to the Times. “Steroid users tend to repetitively inject the drug deep into the muscle and this has been associated with the development of sterile abscess.”

Maybe it’s that bear from the Coca-cola ad.
