FBI launches an investigation on Roger Clemens

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- FBI investigators are reviewing former New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens' medical records to determine if the baseball star committed perjury, sources say.

Unidentified sources said FBI agents have obtained access to Clemens' medical records from three of the pitcher's former teams in an attempt to contradict his testimony to Congress in February, the New York Post said Wednesday.

Clemens testified in front of a congressional hearing as part of a doping investigation that he never used human-growth hormone or steroids.

The sources said it appeared investigators have been unable to find anything in the medical documents to contradict the seven-time Cy Young Award winner's testimony before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Clemens' testimony was part of a widespread government inquiry into alleged steroid and HGH use in major league baseball.

The Post, citing ESPN.com, said the records obtained by investigators came from the Yankees, Houston Astros and the Toronto Blue Jays.
