Hearing the two sides of the story it sure seems to me that Clemens is in big doodoo. If it can be proven he lied he is going to jail. If I was him I'd have wrapped myself up in lawyers and taken the 5th right from the get-go.
It's baseball's responsibility to deal with this, not the governments.
Baseball itself has the authority to do something about it if they deem it necessary to do so.
Being a "national pastime" in no way warrants government involvment in this matter.
This is just another thing that government is trying to get their hands into. If they had it their way they would regulate everything in this country.
If people don't like what is happening they should send a message to baseball with their wallets. Once ticket sales start declining baseball will regulate itself in a manner that will rectify the situation.
