- Clemens, Armstrong, Perjury and Perception August 20, 2010What would a perjury charge, alone, mean for Armstrong? by Joe Lindsey Roger Clemens was charged with perjury yesterday after prosecutors judged there is enough evidence to indict the former baseball pitcher for lying in testimony to Congress.

ProTour and Pro Continental tea […]
