In-Box - The Aftermath of Clemens's Case Re "Clemens Is Found Not Guilty of Lies in Denying Doping," June 19: Baseball's experiment with drugs engulfed star players. Who knew and who did not know will forever be a topic for discussion and debate. But only those who took to the field have been subjected to public questioning and criminal prosecutions. With the close of the Roger Clemens trial, that public assault is probably over, but the struggle over baseball remains. In a society largely in love with drugs, it was not surprising that baseball players looked to them to overcome the limitations of being human. Yet for many fans, the innocence of baseball was its main attraction. Given its long history, baseball may be the best reflection we have of ourselves. It has often fallen prey to the worst kind of human frailty, unfairness and all the rest. Still, we struggle to keep its head above water, lest our innocence be lost forever. Bruce Neuman Sag Harbor, N.Y. Roger Clemens got another strikeout, this time against the government. I certainly don't know if he lied about taking steroids, but the case didn't make sense. Why would his former trainer, the key prosecution witness, tell the truth about one player and also concoct a wealth of evidence years ago in anticipation of this occasion? I don't think justice was served, but I think the bigger lesson will be that Clemens not enter the Hall of Fame. Let's see what happens. Jennifer Dorn New York Roger Clemens was found not guilty of lying to Congress. Why are we wasting precious tax dollars on this nonsense? We have real criminals who should be prosecuted, not athletes. Why lying to Congress is considered a crime defies any logic. Legislators from both parties and houses lie to us every day. Keith C. De Filippis San Jose, Calif. Punishing Intersex Athletes Re "No Clear Option for Testing," June 18: At the 2010 Winter Olympics, a sportscaster said, in reference to the figure skater Johnny Weir, "We should make him pass a gender test." Another jokingly suggested that Weir compete in the women's competition. Their comments were deemed homophobic, and they were forced to apologize. In the case of women like Caster Semenya, however, sporting federations are choosing to cater to this brand of bullying. When comments such as "Look at her, to me she's not a woman" were made, she was accused of having an unfair advantage. Many athletes have medical differences that give them a competitive edge but are not asked to have medical interventions to "remove" the advantage. The I.O.C."s response was that other differences do not call the athletes" status as male or female into question. The real issue is not fairness, but that certain athletes are not accepted as real women because of their appearance. If sporting federations wish to demonstrate fairness and equality to all, they should accept that there are many kinds of men and women, and that punishing certain types to appease gender-norm bullies is not acceptable.
