Roger Clemens Could Face 30 Years for Lying about HGH

Roger Clemens Under Oath

Probably the most dominating and feared pitcher in history now faces a 30 year prison sentence for lying to a federal grand jury  if convicted. Rocket Roger Clemens has been found lying to federal investigators.

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.

It all started when it was reported that pitcher Jason Grimsley had allegedly named him, as well as Andy Pettitte, as a user of performance enhancing drugs. According to a 20-page search warrant affidavit signed by IRS Special Agent Jeff Novitzky, Grimsley told investigators he obtained amphetamines, anabolic steroids and human growth hormone by former Yankees trainer Brian McNamee. McNamee was a personal strength coach for Clemens and Pettitte.

Clemens and Brian McNamee appeared before a Congressional committee and swore under oath that he did not take steroids; that he did not discuss HGH with McNamee; that he was not at a party at José Canseco’s where steroids were the topic of conversation; that he was only injected with B-12 and lidocaine; and that he never told Andy Pettitte that he (Clemens) had taken HGH.

This last point was in contradiction to testimony Pettite had given under oath on February 4, 2008, wherein Pettitte said he repeated to McNamee a conversation Pettitte had with Clemens. Pettitte said Clemens had told him that McNamee had injected Clemens with human growth hormone. Pettitte said McNamee reacted angrily, saying that Clemens “shouldn’t have done that.”

Sylvester Stallone and Roger Clemens

During the federal inquire Clemens is accused of lying under oath when his former training had overwhelming evidence and personal experience in injection Clemens with a banned substance.

U.S. Rep. Stephen F. Lynch, who sat through Clemens’ infamous 2008 testimony as a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said he was not surprised the pitcher was charged with perjury.

He was quoted as saying:

“There were glaring inconsistencies between Mr. Clemens’ testimony and the testimony of other witnesses who had personal knowledge of all the matters involved,” Lynch told the Herald. “There are irreconcilable facts that someone is not being truthful.”

Roger Clemens was the most dominating pitcher through the 80’s, 90’s and Clemens had won seven Cy Young Awards (he won the AL award in 1986, 1987, 1991, 1997, 1998, and 2001, and the National League award in 2004), an MVP and two pitching triple crowns. He has also won The Sporting News Pitcher of the Year Award five times, was named an All-Star 11 times, and won the All-Star MVP in 1986.

Roger Clemens told a congressional committee that his wife tried human growth hormones, and that he hadn’t. He is facing serious jail time now if convicted of perjury but Clemens is now vowing to fight a federal perjury rap.

“I never took HGH or Steroids. And I did not lie to Congress,” Clemens said on Twitter. “I look forward to challenging the government’s accusations, and hope people will keep an open mind until trial.”

Roger Clemens Pitching

HGH has been known to increase sports performance and it would explain how the best pitcher in the world was able to maintain his dominance pitching at his late age.

It’s been scientifically proven that plummeting HGH levels are one of the key causes of problems commonly associated with aging and has been proven to

• Diminished wrinkles, crows feet, laugh lines, and age spots
• Skin that looks and feels firmer and smoother
• Increased physical stamina
• Weight loss with decreased body fat
• Increased lean muscle
• Strengthened nails
• Restored hair condition and color
• A faster metabolism
• Stronger bones and increased bone density
• Greater memory and focus
• Reinvigorated sex drive and performance
• Better mood and mental sharpness
• Lowered cholesterol
• Better sleep
• Clearer, healthier vision
• A strengthened immune system
• Increased results from exercise

Clemens has viewed himself as a baseball player, and only a baseball player. He has four sons, and all of them – Koby, Kory, Kacy, and Kody -were proudly and purposefully named with a K, the baseball symbol for strikeout.

Clemens ego might be cloudy his reality in think he is above the law. His ego thinks because  he is Rodger Clemens he is better than anyone else. He presents his teammates with signed photographs of himself, has a vanity baseball-themed license plates (SOX-21 back during his Boston years, CY-MVP more recently) and t refers to himself not in the first person or third person, but by a nickname.

Well this time Clemens is caught but still willing to fight the fact he never took steroids or HGH. His ego might costs his 30 years in prison.
