Halladay-Clemens feud over doping continues
Less than 12 hours after being accused of using amphetamines by Roger Clemens, Roy Halladay took to Twitter to clear his name.
"I'll let my reputation speak for itself," Halladay tweeted in response to Clemens on Thursday morning.
Halladay also retweeted New Jersey-based writer Randy Miller, who authored the following reinforcement of his voting philosophy:
@RoyHalladay Your comment on Clemens and Bonds further convinces me to never change my NO stance on them when filling out my HOF ballot.
— Randy Miller (@RandyJMiller) January 7, 2016
Clemens fired back at Halladay on Wednesday night, after Halladay posted a controversial tweet earlier in the day bluntly stating that Clemens and slugger Barry Bonds have no place in Cooperstown because of their past association with performance-enhancing drugs.
"Just to enlighten him (Halladay), he was accused of using amphetamines by the 'strength coach,'" Clemens told Mark Berman of FOX. "You should be very careful when putting tweets out while not having your facts on the matter at hand."
Clemens garnered 45.2 percent of the Hall of Fame vote this year, well short of the 75 percent required to be elected. Bonds, also missed the mark, with a 44.3-percent haul.
Halladay and Clemens were teammates for a brief time with the Toronto Blue Jays in 1998.
