Prosecutors seeking to convict pitcher Roger Clemens of obstructing Congress and making false statements must prove he was injected with steroids, knew what was in the shots and knowingly lied about it, said lawyers.
Clemens, seven-time winner of Major League Baseball’s Cy Young pitching award, was indicted Aug. 19 on charges that he lied to Congress in 2008 when he said his trainer Brian McNamee didn’t inject him with steroids and human growth hormone. McNamee told Congress and an inquiry by retired Senator George Mitchell that he did inject Clemens.
