WASHINGTON, April 23 (UPI) -- Roger Clemens is a great former baseball player who got caught up in a web of lies over his alleged use of steroids, a federal prosecutor said in court Monday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve Durham said in opening statements to a Washington jury that Clemens "became trapped in a web of his own lies" in a "story of deceit, honesty and betrayal" when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs to a Congressional committee in 2008, USA Today reported.
