Clemens Is Toast

in: News

Congress is asking the Justice Department to investigate Roger Clemens to see if he lied under oath.

From FoxNews.com:

Congress asked the Justice Department Wednesday to investigate whether Roger Clemens lied under oath to a House committee reviewing steroid use in baseball.

The chairman and ranking Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee sent a letter to the Justice Department requesting a perjury probe into Clemens’ sworn depositions.

Clemens testified before the committee Feb. 13 about the use of performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball. The New York Yankees pitcher told the committee he never used performance-enhancing drugs. His former trainer Brian McNamee told the committee he injected Clemens more than 20 times over his career.

“We believe that his testimony in a sworn deposition on Feb. 5, 2008, and at a hearing on Feb. 13, 2008, that he never used anabolic steroids or human growth hormone, warrants further investigation,” committee chairman Henry Waxman and ranking Republican Tom Davis wrote. “That testimony is directly contradicted by the sworn testimony of Brian McNamee, who testified that he personally injected Mr. Clemens with anabolic steroids and human growth hormone.

“Mr. Clemens’s testimony is also contradicted by the sworn deposition testimony and affidavit submitted to the committee by Andrew Pettitte, a former teammate of Mr. Clemens, whose testimony and affidavit reported that Mr. Clemens had admitted to him in 1999 or 2000 that he had taken human growth hormone.”

In other words… Roger is TOAST!

Remember I. Scooter Libbey? Same deal folks.

    A friend remarked to me yesterday that this steroid stuff is just the new McCarthyism.

    I think its a fitting analogy.

    What you are failing to see Jason is that this isn’t about the steroids, it is about lying to Congress under oath. That my friend is perjury which is the same thing that Scooter Libbey was convicted of. What’s good for Scooter, is good for Roger.
