In a House of Representatives chamber in 2008, Roger Clemens assured the gathered congressmen that he never took steroids. US federal attorneys are accusing Clemens of not representing the truth in his testimony. (from the AP)
Roger Clemens was vehement: "Let me be clear. I have never taken steroids or HGH," he told a House committee in 2008. Now, instead of the Hall of Fame, baseball's seven-time Cy Young winner could go to prison after being indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday for allegedly lying to Congress.
The case writes a new chapter in one of baseball's worst scandals, the rampant use of performance-enhancing drugs in the 1990s and early 2000s, and leaves Clemens' legacy in jeopardy.
The six-count indictment alleges that Clemens obstructed a congressional inquiry with 15 different statements made under oath, including denials that he had ever used steroids or human growth hormone.
Virginia Congressman Tom Davis relates this about the Rocket:
"Clemens was not under subpoena. He came voluntarily," Davis said. "And I sat there in the office with (committee chairman) Henry Waxman and said, 'Whatever you do, don't lie.'"
Clemens was sticking to his story Thursday. He insisted he was telling the truth, again denying any wrongdoing on or off the field.
Through his lawyer, the veteran Rusty Hardin, Clemens claims he neither lied, nor took HGH or steroids. Clemens turned down a plea bargain.
Clemen's ex-trainer Brian McNamee reports he administered PEDs to the Rocket. One would think that the Government has ascertained other witnesses or other evidence to Clemens' PED use.
Baseball's Mitchell Report mentioned Clemens a few times -- like 82.
Although I do think that pro athletes need to be held accountable against the performance-enhancing drug ban, it still seems strange that Congress is the one dealing with it. It's not like they have other, more pressing matters to deal with that, such as unemployment, war, immigration, etc.
But I suppose that is besides the point, about the issue at hand. Clemens lied, he should be punished. As my mom used to always remind me with "oh what wicked webs we weave, when first we practice to deceive".

Roger Clemens has been indicted for making false statements to Congress during his February 2008 hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Posted by: Gaston Cantens | 03/08/2011 at 04:04
The alleged false statements came during a sometimes contentious hearing featuring contradictory testimony by Clemens and his former trainer, Brian McNamee, about Clemens’ use of performance enhancing drugs.

Roger Clemens can run but he won’t be hiding. In this case, the seven-time Cy Young Award winner is actually running toward a major league problem.

I was reading something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your position on it is diametrically contradicted to what I read earlier. I am still contemplating over the opposite points of view, but I'm tipped heavily toward yours. And no matter, that's what is so great about modernized democracy and the marketplace of thoughts on-line.

Clemens, of course, becomes the second baseball player indicted for perjury, after Barry Bonds in 2007. Bonds is scheduled to go on trial in March 2011.

It’s also likely that the defense will downplay certain aspects of Clemens’ testimony to Congress that directly contradict things.

JUDY WOODRUFF: What else would you say, Paul Burka, about Gov. Perry's -- you mentioned that he's aware, when he makes these statements that are controversial, the reaction. His ability to withstand the sort of glare that comes with running for president, that it's this relentless coverage of every word spoken, to what extent is he prepared for that?
PAUL BURKA: I think he's pretty well prepared, because he's a very disciplined guy. He was an Air Force pilot. He went to Texas A&M and was famously a Yell Leader there and can stir up a crowd.
And I think Perry is used to the criticism. He's been in Texas politics for 10 years. He really doesn't care what other people think about him. He only cares about what his plan is. He's always got a plan. And that's what makes him formidable in politics. He's -- he's just a tough guy. And I think that's served him well, because he's had some very tough races and some very tough criticism over the years.

Not to mix apples and baseballs, MLB and other professional sports owner to different music than the Olympic sports. Owner, unions, and local authorities all complicate the pro sports PED testing.
