MLB Steroid Players Have Attorneys Already

As I wrote in a previous post about MLB players calling their lawyers, do you think they waited until the list came out?
Roger Clemens found an attorney quite quickly … From Chron.com website:
After being implicated of steroids use in the report former Senator George Mitchell released this afternoon, Roger Clemens has enlisted the services of powerful Houston attorney Rusty Hardin to defend him from the accusations.
Someone tip him off? Was he feeling guilty? Getting ready just in case? Would have liked to hear that call …
I believe the Players Association was recommending to players who were invited to (and declined to) meet with Mitchell that they retain legal counsel. So it shouldn’t be a surprise to Clemens or any of the other players that they were named in the report, and would explain the retention of attorneys so quickly. The fallout from this will be interesting to watch.
