Clemens denied it the day it came out. I don't think it would make any difference if he released a statement every day since saying the same thing... in my mind it would hurt him more actually. One of those "me thinks he protests too much".
As for your theory, absolutely. There's enough evidence for you to decide he's guilty and stick to your theory. Your opinion doesn't make it so though, but it is your opinion. The evidence at the moment isn't enough to say definitively either way... suspicions abound, and unfortunately the minute a guys name is mentioned he's guilty in the eyes of a lot of fans. There isn't enough evidence that he could be found guilty even in a civil suit, without enough for that it's not my place to judge.
Pettitte admitting it certainly increases the supposition, but it's still not proof.
One reporter I heard today taling about this was surprised that most of the names were only heresay, and in some cases (she singled out Jack Cust) the evidence there wasn't even enough that she could have printed it in the newspaper...
Steroids and HGH help you recover faster, just because a guy has never hit 100 mph on the gun doesn't mean he may not have taken for what the drugs were originally created for. I love Maddux, don't think he would or did do anything, but unfortunately the cloud of suspicion has to be over him as well.
