If It Wasn't For Date Rape Brian McNamee Might Never Get Laid

When he made his statements about injecting Roger Clemens with steroids, Brian McNamee had to know that everything he's done or said would be scrutinized. Anything salacious and/or illegal would be sought out, and he would be hounded by questions and accusations. It might have taken a little while, but now we know that Mr. McNamee engaged in some questionable sexual conduct, and that that was the reason he was fired by the Yankess.

The records released Tuesday by the St. Petersburg police show McNamee was suspected of raping a woman he had met at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort in October 2001. The Yankees were in town to close out the regular season against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, and many players and support staff were staying at the upscale resort.

McNamee was having sex with the woman in the resort's pool and didn't stop when confronted by security, the documents say. Police were notified. When they arrived, they found McNamee had helped the woman out of the pool and get dressed, according to the documents. Groggy and incoherent, she was taken to the hospital, where the documents said she was found to have GHB, the "date-rape drug," in her system.

The woman told detectives she could not remember details of the encounter in the pool. She said she did not give McNamee permission to have sex with her, and witnesses told detectives they had heard her saying "no" during the encounter, according to the documents.

Detectives later recovered some of her jewelry, an empty beer can and a water bottle containing GHB at the side of the pool.

Police interviewed McNamee hours later, according to the documents, and he denied having sex with the woman or knowing Yankees batting practice pitcher, Charles Wonsowicz, who was also in the pool. McNamee refused to submit a saliva sample for DNA analysis, the documents said.

Although the state attorney's office decided not to press charges, the accusations ended McNamee's career with the Yankees.

Clemens knew of the accusations, but hired McNamee as his personal trainer anyway. Though, it might have had something to do with the fact that McNamee would do anything to help someone.

According to the pitcher's lawsuit, McNamee told him that his actions were "actually a life-saving attempt.

Yep, saving someone with non-consentual sex. I knew I should have taken that CPR class!
