Roger Clemens proves an easier target than maligned slugger Barry Bonds
[SIZE=-1]New York Daily News, NY [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]A federal grand jury has now been impaneled in Washington, D.C., and if prosecutors can convince jurors that Clemens used those drugs, they likely will have little trouble winning a perjury indictment against the seven-time Cy Young Award winner. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]And if Clemens - a friend of the Bush family - somehow finds himself the beneficiary of a last-minute pardon from the outgoing President, then supporters of Bonds are sure to cry foul, given that Bonds has spent a fortune on his long legal fight. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Sitting near Clemens during that testimony was his Washington counsel Lanny Breuer, who reportedly will be President-elect Obama's nominee as chief of the Justice Department's criminal division - a post that likely would force him to recuse himself from prosecution of Clemens. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Clemens made at least six unambiguous denials of doping in his Feb. 5, 2008, deposition before lawyers for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform - and that was just in the first half hour of a five-hour interview. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]At the start of dramatic televised hearing nine days later - again under oath - Clemens said, "I have never used steroids, human growth hormone, or any other type of illegal performance-enhancing drugs." [/SIZE]
