Clemens Charged With Perjury; Trainer's Lawyer Calls It Vindication

An attorney for Roger Clemens former trainer says the indictment of the pitching great is ``vindication.''
The seven-time Cy Young Award winner is named in a federal indictment charging he lied to Congress about using steroids and growth hormone.
The former pitcher and Brian McNamee testified under oath at a 2008 hearing before a House committee and contradicted each other.
Former Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia, who was the top Republican on the House panel at the time of Clemens' testimony, called the indictment ``a self-inflicted wound'' since the pitcher testified voluntarily. There's been no comment yet from Clemens' attorney.
No date has been set for Clemens' initial court appearance.
The case is assigned to the same federal judge who presided over the perjury and obstruction trial of Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis ``Scooter'' Libby.
