That makes me not believe that he only did it twice, maybe he did, but how does anyone know when he lied about it.
No way he makes it. A borderline candidate won't get in with a checkered past.

Agree with this, I find it very hard to believe any of these guys "who only did it once." Plus with his flip-flopping on the Clemens saga, I think his candidacy is a done deal already. Add to the fact that he was on the margins w/o the PED usage(s) and the Clemens fiasco, not a HOFer. However by all accounts he seems like a nice guy.
