From ESPN:

Quote:
U.S. general manager Bob Watson said Wednesday that he isn't considering the 45-year-old right-hander for his roster for the Beijing Games.

"From my standpoint, we don't need that type of distraction," Watson said.

I can't say as I blame him. Especially the way doping is dealt with in the Olympics. Why take a chance?

When you put it that way, Arrowhead, it kind of makes me believe that Clemens would not even want to participate, anyway.

I don't even think that he should be considered based off talent. Yes he was a great pitcher but not anymore.

He is still good; I would bet he could win 13 if he came back. However, it would benefit him the most if he did not play.

Yeah, at the very least he could hang with the college kids he'd be going up against in the Olympics.
