The FBI began its investigation Thursday into whether seven-time Cy Young winner, Roger Clemens, lied to Congress when he told them he never used performance enhancing drugs. The Feds announced they took the case a day after the leaders of the House Oversight and Government reform Committee said they were not certain Clemens was truthful under oath at a Feb. 5 deposition and during the Feb. 13 nationally publicized hearing.
“Congress did not ask for a similar investigation of Brian McNamee, the former personal trainer who testified under oath that he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone,” the Associated Press reported. “Clemens testified that he never used steroids or HGH; McNamee testified he injected Clemens with performance-enhancers at least 16 times from 1998-01.”
"We've always expected they would open an investigation," said Clemens' lead lawyer, Rusty Hardin. "They attended the congressional hearing. So what's new?"
