CAPITOL HILL (AP) - Roger Clemens is scheduled to speak under
oath to congressional lawyers for the first time today about
allegations that he used steroids and human growth hormone.
The seven-time Cy Young Award winner is slated to give a
closed-door deposition a day after former teammate and workout
partner Andy Pettitte delivered sworn testimony on
Capitol Hill.
The interviews are in preparation for a public hearing next
week. The hearing is expected to focus on allegations made by a
former trainer who claims he injected Clemens with
performance-enhancing drugs.
Clemens insists that he was only injected with vitamins and
painkillers.
A lawyer for Clemens says the pitcher won't take the Fifth
Amendment today and will "answer the committee's questions
truthfully."
