Text By MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT Published: August 19, 2010 Federal authorities have decided to indict Roger Clemens on charges of making false statements to Congress about his use of performance-enhancing drugs, according to two people briefed on the matter. An announcement is expected later today. The indictment comes nearly two and half years after Clemens and his former trainer Brian McNamee testified under oath at a hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, directly contradicting each other about whether Clemens had used the banned substances. The committee held the hearing in February 2008, just two months after McNamee first tied Clemens to the use of the substances in George J. Mitchell’s report on the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. After Mitchell released the report, Clemens launched an attack on McNamee, saying he made up the allegations. Federal authorities had McNamee cooperate with federal authorities in 2008 to avoid charging him with steroid distribution.

Enjoy jail, Rajah. I would make a joke about him already having experience with getting stuck in the butt, but I won't.

"The Big Bollox Clemens" is so much better a nickname than the Rocket. Though not as good as Fresh Fish.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 19 2010 01:27 PM Re: The Big Bollox Clemens

Wouldn't "Little Bollox" be more apropos?

this rocks.

Frayed Knot Aug 20 2010 07:23 AM Re: The Big Bollox Clemens

ESPN put one of their legal beagles on the air who had seen the indictment and he was using phrases like: 'extremely impressive legal document', and 'masterful work', and 'guaranteed jail time if they can make it stick'.

Roger Clemens via Twitter wrote: "I never took HGH or steroids. And I did not lie to Congress, and I look forward to challenging the government's accusations, and hope people will keep an open mind until trial. I appreciate all the support I have been getting. I am happy to finally have my day in court."

MFS62 Aug 20 2010 08:18 AM Re: The Big Bollox Clemens

Looks like he will finally get to answer in court. About time. Honestly, I preferred baseball in the old days, when pitchers doctored the baseballs instead of themselves. Later

Once he wore pinstripes. Next he'll have stripes - stripes around his shoulders.

MFS62 Aug 20 2010 09:29 AM Re: The Big Bollox Clemens

Can't wait to see him throw a gavel at the Judge and then say he thought it was a baseball. Later

I rewatched that exchange on YouTube recently, and it's way worse than I remembered it. Clemens is a doosh.

As Phil Mushnick points out in his Friday column, the YES crew somehow couldn't find time during their usual 3+ hour telecast on Thursday afternoon to mention, much less discuss, the just handed-down Clemens indictment. He didn't mention if WABC radio involved any version of Suzyn saying; "of all the dramatic things, Roger Clemens has just been serv ..." I somehow doubt it. I tend to wonder if the word 'Steroids' has ever been uttered on Yank-jazeera

Fman99 Aug 21 2010 06:05 AM Re: The Big Bollox Clemens

Interesting read here by Joel Sherman, who insinuates that Clemens' biggest punishment is being locked out of the game as a pariah. Good for him, the fuck.

metirish Aug 21 2010 07:25 AM Re: The Big Bollox Clemens

Sherman wrote I suspect many great players — think types such as Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds — could not tolerate having players they considered clearly inferior beginning to outdo them due to illegal means. So they decided to restore the natural order by doing unnatural things. Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/yankees/ ... z0xFKszq3h I don't buy that though , it always sounds like an excuse. I think these guys would have taken the junk regardless , they probably thought they were untouchable. The Snooze yesterday had some quotes from Marion Jones, she happened to be in town with her WNBA team, it's her road to redemption, , maybe we will see The big bollox Clemens in the WNBA soon.

Edgy DC Aug 21 2010 08:06 AM Re: The Big Bollox Clemens

I think it's very credible in Bonds' case. He was still great, but the league was catching up to him by cheating, and (the theory goes), he used their means to stay in his deserved place ahead of them. In Clemens' case, though, he just began fading in his early thirities, and he started taking the juice in Canada to re-assert himself.

cooby Aug 22 2010 09:13 AM Re: The Big Bollox Clemens

LOL, my mom is so cute... she just called me up to say she thought she had heard on TV that Clemens had died after surgery....of course I gasped and ran to the computer to check it out... I said no, you must have heard he was indicted for purjury. We both had a good laugh about it Mean of us, I know

The Big Bollox pleads NOT GUILTY .... surprise!! Jury selection begins in April? Let's not rush into anything, folks ... this is going to drag on for three more years at this rate.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 30 2010 02:48 PM Re: The Big Bollox Clemens

Is there any nation, state, or commonwealth where it's allowable to pursue a "not guilty by reason of insanity" plea for perjury? Because I wouldn't think it outside the realm of possibility that Clemens actually believes the absolute horseshit he's peddling, and that he's capable of self-delusion so great that it distorts his view of the world around him and reality in general.

I think you're onto something LWFS. I mean, he did supposedly confuse a broken bat shard for the baseball and then apparently forgot the basic rules of the game and tried to play by kickball rules by throwing at the runner . Personally, I don't doubt the guy is nuts. 'roids have a way of messing with a person's head.
