Clemens and Pettitte to Testify

ESPNEWS is reporting that Roger Clemens has been asked to testify to before the House Oversight Committee on January 16. Kirk Radomsky, Brian McNamee, and Chuck Knoblauch have also been asked to testify. Here is the link from ESPN.

The committee's minority staff director, David Marin, told ESPN:

"The original hearing was called to examine the Mitchell recommendations and findings. The committee has decided to hold a second day of hearings for the very same reason -- to invite people with varying perspectives on the Mitchell report to shed further light on it,"

This is going to be very interesting, this could do one of two things; destroy Roger Clemens' reputation for good, or destroy the reputation of the Mitchell Report for good.

Clemens' attorney, Rusty Hardin, has now issued a statement saying:

"We welcome Chairman Waxman and the Committee's interest in this very serious matter. Roger is willing to answer questions, including those posed to him while under oath. We hope to determine shortly if schedules and other commitments can accommodate the committee on that date."

Clemens better show up, if he doesn't it is going to make him look really bad.
