What kind of assets does the trainer have? Suing someone who doesn't have money is a waste of time.

Besides, Clemens is a public figure, and as such he has a much more difficult job in winning any kind of defamation suit. As the plaintiff (the sue-er) he would have to show that the allegations were either maliciously false, or made with reckess disregard for the truth. And I'm sure that the first witness called by the defense to rebut Clemens would be Andy Pettite
