Littlefield On Sports: Clemens Heads To Court
ResumeIn 2008, former Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens gave testimony to a Congressional committee investigating drug use in baseball.
"I did not use steroids, human growth hormone, and I've never done so," Clemens told members of Congress. "And I did not provide Brian McNamee with any drugs to inject into my body."
That testimony is at the heart of a federal trial in which the government claims Clemens committed perjury while testifying to Congress.
The interesting thing, WBUR's Bill Littlefield says, is that Clemens wasn't even required to testify in front of Congress in the first place.
