Schilling thinks Clemens needs to refute Mitchell report

席林姊認為老克應該出面反駁Mitchell的禁藥報告

BOSTON -- Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling called on Roger Clemens to give up the four Cy Young Awards he's won since 1997 if he can't clear his name from allegations that he used steroids to prolong and enhance his career.
波士頓紅襪的投手席林姊認為，如果老克沒有辦法澄清所有關於他使用禁藥的指控的話，他應該歸還自1997年之後所得到的四屆賽揚獎頭銜。

"If he doesn't do that then there aren't many options as a fan for me other than to believe his career 192 wins and three Cy Youngs he won prior to 1997 were the end," Schilling wrote Wednesday in his blog, 38pitches.com. "From that point on the numbers were attained through using [performance-enhancing drugs]. Just like I stated about Jose [Canseco], if that is the case with Roger, the four Cy Youngs should go to the rightful winners, and the numbers should go away if he cannot refute the accusations."
＂如果他沒有那樣做的話，現在就不會有這麼多的言論出現，身為老克支持者的我，相信他在1997年之前所贏得的192勝及三屆的賽揚獎就已經是他生涯成就的全部了。＂星期三席林姊在他的blog裡面這樣寫到。＂在那之後所得到的賽揚獎都是透過體能增強藥物的幫助。就像我對Jose Canseco的評論一樣，如果這次的事情對於老克來說是真的，那麼四屆的賽揚頭銜應該歸還給真正應該得到的人，如果他沒有辦法對那些指控提出反駁的話。＂

Schilling noted in the 3,200-word posting that he was a fan of the seven-time Cy Young winner who owed much of his success to a stern talking-to he received from Clemens when Schilling was a prospect in the Boston system.
席林姊長達3200字的文章當中提到，他是這位七屆賽揚獎得主的支持者，席林姊也說，當他還是紅襪菜鳥的時候，他受到老克很多的照顧，他生涯的成功歸功於老克當時的指導。

"His 'undressing' of me and lecture were a major turning point," Schilling said. "I've always respected his career accomplishments and regarded him as the greatest pitcher to ever play the game."
＂他不諱言的給我忠告與訓斥對我來說是一個重大的轉捩點。＂席林姊說。＂我尊敬他生涯的成就，也將他視為最棒的投手。＂

But, having called on Canseco to give up his 1988 AL MVP award, and noting also the unrefuted evidence against Barry Bonds, Schilling acknowledged he could not avoid questioning Clemens' accomplishments, as well.
然而，曾經呼籲Canseco放棄1988美聯MVP的頭銜以及指明棒子爺一堆無法反駁的證據，席林姊承認他無法不去質疑老克生涯的成就。

"Can you separate what Barry is accused of from what Roger is accused of?" Schilling said. "If ... both of these men end up being caught, what does that say about this game, us as athletes and the future of the sport and our place in it? The greatest pitcher and greatest hitter of all time are currently both being implicated, one is being prosecuted, for events surrounding and involving the use of performance enhancing drugs. That [stinks]. ... The sport needs fixing."
＂你能將棒子爺被指控的事情與老克被指控的事情分開來看嗎？＂席林姊說。＂假如這兩位選手最終因用藥而被捕，外界又會怎麼去看待這些比賽？怎麼看待身為運動員的我們、職業運動的未來和我們的處境？史上最好的投手與最棒的打者目前都牽扯上禁藥問題，其中一位已經因為涉嫌使用體能增強藥物而被起訴。那真是糟透了。棒球界需要好好整頓一番。＂

Clemens was the biggest name in the report by former Senate majority leader George Mitchell that detailed the widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. Clemens has denied using performance-enhancing substances.
老克是George Mitchell調查大聯盟禁藥濫用報告當中最大尾的球員。老克否認自己曾經使用過這些體能增強藥物。

The Rocket's last four Cy Young Awards came in 1997, 1998, 2001 and 2004. Many of the allegations against Clemens in the Mitchell Report came from former trainer Brian McNamee, though none pertain to 1997 or 2004. Mitchell wrote McNamee said he injected Clemens with steroids in 1998 while with the Toronto Blue Jays, and steroids and human growth hormone in 2000 and 2001, while with the New York Yankees.
老克得到最後四次賽揚獎是在1997、1998、2001以及2004年。在Mitchell的報告當中，許多對老克的指控都是來自於他前任訓練員Brian McNamee。Mitchell的報告指出McNamee說他曾經在1998年替老克注射過類固醇，當時老克還在多倫多藍鳥隊，他也在2000及2001年替待在洋基隊的老克注射類固醇與人類生長激素。

Schilling commended those who've apologized for using performance-enhancing drugs and called on everyone accused to prove their innocence or apologize for their mistakes.
席林姊批評了這些因為使用禁藥而道歉的球員，也呼籲每個被指控的球員出來證明自己的清白或是對自己所犯下的錯誤向社會大眾道歉。

"The world is full of good to great people that have made mistakes of this magnitude or worse," Schilling wrote. "These guys made mistakes, and I do mean mistakes. They didn't accidentally do this, this was a conscious decision with far reaching implications and they should be held accountable."
＂這個世界充滿了許多為了追求好還要更好而犯下類似或是更嚴重錯誤的人。＂席林姊這樣寫到。＂這些人犯了錯，而且我認為是故意犯錯。他們不是因為不小心才做了這些事，這些是經過思考過後而做的決定，他們都應該為此而負起責任。＂

While saying Canseco's "entire career, all of it, is a sham" and saying "he was never in his life a major league player," Schilling also acknowledged that many of Canseco's claims about other steroid users have been corroborated.
當說到Canseco的職業生涯時，席林姊認為那全都是＂虛假＂的，而且還說＂他從來就不是一個大聯盟的球員。＂席林姊也承認，許多Canseco所指控使用類固醇的球員都已經被證實了。

"He has broken the flood gates on a topic that went unspoken on for far too long," Schilling said.
＂他已經打開這個被人們避而不談許久的話題的話匣子了。＂席林姊說。

The runners-up in Clemens' last four Cy Young-winning years were Randy Johnson (1997 and 2004), Pedro Martinez (1998) and Mark Mulder (2001).
老克生涯最後四屆賽揚獎的第二高票者分別是1997年與2004年的Randy Johnson，1998年的Pedro Martinez與2001年的Mark Mulder。

Schilling was among those who testified in March 2005 to a U.S. House committee investigating steroids, along with Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmiero. The same committee has scheduled hearings for Jan. 15.
席林姊在2005年3月也與Mark McGwire、Sammy Sosa和Rafael Palmiero一同出席美國白宮調查類固醇委員會參與作證。這個委員會也在1月15號舉行了聽證會。

Clemens has not been asked to attend, though it's possible that the committee could decide to ask Clemens or other players to appear that day -- or at a future hearing, if there is one.
雖然委員會可能決定要老克或是其他的球員在當天出席，但是並沒有，也許未來如果還有聽證會的話，老克可能會被委員會要求出庭也不一定。

席林姊也出來放炮了，看來落井下石的人還真是不少，我總是覺得，做人還是厚道一點比較好，不管以前是否有什麼恩怨，在事情沒有明確的結果之前，還是安靜一點比較不會顧人怨。

不過，我也不認為老克牽扯到使用禁藥的這件事情會有什麼結果就是了，Mitchell的報告當中提到了老克曾經使用過禁藥，消息來源是老克之前的訓練員McNamee，但是除此之外，還有什麼明確的證據嗎？沒有，如果有的話，這份報告就不會有這麼多人質疑他的可靠性與真實度了。

或許也因為這樣，老克一開始就矢口否認自己碰過這些東西，雖然到目前為止，他都還沒有找出＂適當的時間點＂與＂適當的方式＂來公開的對大眾說明。我認為這個問題永遠都會是個問號，相信老克的球迷就會相信他說的話，不相信的人當然不管老克怎麼辯解都沒用，只是老克的職業生涯都已經接近尾聲了才從半路殺出這個調查報告，對於他是否能夠進入名人堂將會是一大阻礙，也考驗了評審委員的判斷力。有時候我覺得，這種永遠都無法證實的事情，反而對一個人的名聲傷害更大。
