Roger Clemens to Be Named in Mitchell Report

Spring training is just days away, kids....

Not to mention the gambling angle. I'd imagine a jacked up 45 year old Clemens gets a few more bets thrown his way then just a plain old 45 year old clemens.

If they shoulda cared about Bonds, they should care about this too.

I now care that he's a pompous lying assh*le

Source: Roger Clemens to be indicted

Roger Clemens will be indicted on charges of making false statements to Congress about his use of performance-enhancing drugs, a source familiar with the government's investigation has told ESPN's T.J. Quinn.

The source said the indictment was expected later Thursday. The New York Times first reported the indictment, citing two sources briefed on the case.

Clemens and his former trainer, Brian McNamee, testified under oath before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in 2008. McNamee, who cooperated with federal authorities and with baseball's Mitchell report on performance-enhancing drugs in baseball, said Clemens had used steroids, while Clemens flatly denied having ever used them.

A few weeks later, the FBI opened a perjury probe against Clemens, a seven-time Cy Young Award winner. The federal grand jury began hearing testimony more than 18 months ago.

Rusty Hardin, Clemens' lead attorney, said he was unaware of a pending indictment.

"We've heard nothing," Hardin said by telephone from Houston, "so I can't knowledgeably respond at all."

Earl Ward, one of McNamee's lawyers, said he, too, "had no indication something was coming." (ESPN)
