FBI launches an investigation on Roger Clemens

NEW YORK, July 16 (UPI) -- The New York Daily News has reported that Roger Clemens received a drug shipment at his Texas home from a convicted steroids supplier.

The report said that Kirk Radomski has given the government documentary evidence of the drugs he shipped to the seven-time Cy Young award-winner.

Radomski entered a guilty plea in a U.S. district court on April 27 to money laundering and illegal distribution of anabolic steroids, human growth hormone, amphetamines and other drugs to several players.

Clemens is under a federal government investigation for perjury after he told Congress earlier this year that he has never taken steroids or human growth hormone.

Clemens also told Congress that he had no knowledge that his wife was going to use HGH.

Radomski faces a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison and received five years probation after cooperating with the feds and the Mitchell Report on the use of performance enhancing drugs.
