HOUSTON -- The Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association cancelled an appearance by Roger Clemens, according to a report by the Houston Chronicle.
The THSBCA removed Clemens from its state convention in January, "choosing to distance themselves from the former Astro following his alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs in last week's Mitchell Report," according to the newspaper.
Officers of the association spent the weekend reviewing the situation before concluding Clemens "was an inappropriate influencer to baseball coaches and students alike."
The report says Clemens was scheduled to be the keynote speaker on Jan. 12, with the topic being "my vigorous workout, how I played so long [in professional baseball]."
