Lets face it: were all pretty sure Roger Clemens took some form of performance-enhancing drugs. But for you lawyers out there who dont rule in the court of public opinion, Clemens is innocent until proven guilty, and the fact that he actually lied about taking steroids has to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

In the wake of his stunning US Open triumph at Congressional last month, McIlroy decided to forgo competition until the year’s third major, which begins on Thursday in Sandwich.

So sit back, relax and enjoy the read!

From 1993-1995, Claude Giroux performed as Doink’s sidekick Dink.

He was to Doink like Hornswoggle was to Finlay—getting involved in matches and generally causing all the havoc his clown gimmick allowed him to.

He even made two pay-per-view appearances, one at WrestleMania X, and he performed at Survivor Series 1994, along with fellow clowns Pink and Wink.   <
