More curves ahead for Clemens
What's next?
The Justice Department must now decide whether to act on Congress' recommendation to investigate Roger Clemens for potentially committing perjury in his deposition and at the Feb. 13 hearing. But it may already have decided to begin its own investigation prior to this recommendation, considering its continued involvement with this case. Examples include:
Brian McNamee, the trainer that said under oath he injected Roger Clemens with performance-enhancing drugs in 1998, 2000 and 2001, has handed over vials, syringes and dirty gauze pads to federal agents. That evidence is being tested for Clemens' DNA and traces of steroids and HGH, and the results are due back soon.
McNamee's lawyers have said that they referred to the federal government a woman who contacted them to say her son was at the Jose Canseco party in 1998 and has a photo of Clemens there. Clemens, under oath in his deposition, said he did not attend the party, disputing McNamee's testimony.

When congressional investigators contacted former major leaguer C.J. Nitkowski to ask him about a story he recalled Clemens telling him about being at Canseco's house for a party, a federal agent was also on the phone.
McNamee testified that the steroids and HGH he injected into Clemens in 2000 and 2001 came from Kirk Radomski. But he said Clemens provided the steroids that he injected into Clemens in 1998.
