CLEMENS CHARGED WITH PERJURY OVER TESTIMONY TO U.S. CONGRESS

    WASHINGTON -- A federal grand jury indicted seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens on Thursday for allegedly lying to Congress about using steroids and growth hormone.

    Clemens faces charges of obstruction of Congress, making false statements and perjury.

    The six-count grand jury indictment said that Clemens obstructed a congressional inquiry with 15 statements that he made under oath, including denials that he had ever used steroids or human growth hormone. The indictment alleged that he lied and committed perjury regarding the same matters.

    The former Major League baseball pitcher and his former trainer, Brian McNamee, testified under oath at a 2008 hearing before a House committee and contradicted each other about whether Clemens had used the banned substances.

    McNamee has told federal agents, baseball investigator George Mitchell and the committee that he injected Clemens more than a dozen times with steroids and human growth hormone from 1998 to 2001.

    I am wondering who else they will go after on that Congressional panel. Rafael Palmeiro later failed a drug test for performance enhancers after denying it outright and accused Canseco of lying to congress.

    Who would have thought that Jose Canseco was going to end up being the 'good guy' from that testimony?
