Former Major League pitcher Roger Clemens issued a statement through Twitter denying he lied or used Performance Enhancement Drugs.
"I never took HGH or Steroids. And I did not lie to Congress. I look forward to challenging the Governments 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."
The Boston Herald interviewed U.S. Rep. Stephen F. Lynch, (D-South Boston). He sat through Clemens’ 2008 testimony as a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Lynch said he was not surprised Clemens was charged with perjury.
“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.”
