In a letter to the Justice Department, a House committee says there are 'significant questions' over the star pitcher's steroids testimony to warrant an inquiry.

Roger Clemens was referred to the Justice Department for a perjury investigation Wednesday in a bipartisan letter that cites repeated contradictions in Clemens' sworn testimony and alleges he "may have intentionally misled" Congress by denying he ever used steroids or human growth hormone.
Katherine Darmer, a Chapman University law professor and former federal prosecutor, called the referral proper.
"If they didn't refer this, it would look like they were giving favorable treatment to a successful athlete who is well-liked by some," Darmer said."This has an even-handedness to it. He made so many blatant misstatements that contradict not only McNamee, who some people don't think has any credibility, but Pettitte, who has no incentive to contradict Clemens."
