Clemens' trial: Jury selection begins Wednesday in the perjury trial of baseball legend Roger Clemens.
Clemens is fighting a six-count federal indictment for allegedly misleading members of Congress over use of performance-enhancing drugs.
The former all-star pitcher testified under oath in 2008 that he never used illegal performance-enhancing substances during his 23-year career.
Clemens has never tested positive for drug use, but his name was among 86 that appeared in a report by former Sen. George Mitchell. The 400-page report listed players who are said to have used drugs to improve their performance on the field.
Sports Illustrated's Michael McCann answers eight questions about the Clemens trial.
I can not understand all the hype over a celebrity; I mean, how does it effect a person's life just to see a well known person. I'm a relative to a former U.S. president, so woop ti do! That doesen't change my life any. I barelly knew the man.
Oh an other American, as usual making comments that no one really cares. Cheers mate
This is a boon to the hospital business, for sure.
Running with the bulls is on my short list of things to do.
@Randy I compeletly agree! Idiots first degree!
How about a boon to the undertaker's business?
Running of the bulls is cruel, inhumane and should be outlawed.
Yeah, it's so mean. I agree. They should allow the bulls to walk through the streets.
some one has to know WHO Mctrollstein is , caugh him up NOW
The running of the bulls is somewhat unique. Where else can you find a case where animals show they are superior to man both physically and mentally?
DotHead? Is that about the size of your brain? You are not even Indian or you could spell better, you are not Hindu either. But, you may be a cokehead; there are very many beautiful women in India, you knot head!
Clemens brought this on himself. If he just kept his mouth shut and not volunteered to testify the first time, he probably wouldn't be in this mess. (Mark Maguire wouldn't talk, and therefore won't be facing perjury.)
Stupid Mexicans.
Congress insists that Meat and Dairy ranchers use growth-enhancers, but complain about a few ball players using performance-enhancers? That's totally rediculous. (and revealing)
Mark, Barry, Lance, Sammy, the entire NHL...just a few examples. But even if you gathered-up all of the world's athletes that use illegal drugs, they wouldn't weigh even 1% of what people who consume growth-enhanced red meat and dairy products weigh. (as in obesity epidemic that broke-out after Congress.reversed laws that had been protecting US from crooked ranchers drugging their cattle for decades)
CNN:
Please don't censor Philip.
Sometimes, disagreeing with him is as much fun for me as coffee.
Well, maybe even more.
Our obesity epidemic began in 1994 when Congress allowed our meat and dairy ranchers to drug their cattle. These dangerous drugs that had always been illegal because ALL of the independant tests showed that they make boys grow teets and make girls begin to menstruate earlier than they would have naturally. All in the name of greedy profit.
