According to the Associated Press, Roger Clemens, considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time has been found not guilty of all charges that he obstructed and lied to congress that he took performance enhancing drugs.

Clemens was found not guilty, even though his long time ex-teammate Andy Pettitte took the stand and recalled a conversation where he thought he heard Clemens admit to him of taking HGH, but later under cross examination told the court room that there was a possibility he might have misheard the seven-time Cy Young Award winner.

Also, Clemens’ strength coach Brian McNamee testified he personally injected Clemens, however his integrity has been questioned over the years.

Now the big question is will those involved with voting for the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame induction into Cooperstown give Clemens a break or loop him in the same category as  Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire? Time will tell.
