Roger Clemens Denied Appeal Hearing By Supreme Court

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had previously thrown out the case, saying a Texas federal court did not have jurisdiction over the case because McNamee had made his accusatory statements in New York. McNamee had said he gave Clemens performance-enhancing drugs during the pitcher’s seven-time Cy Young award-winning career.

Clemens is currently facing criminal prosecution for allegedly lying about not using drugs during his Congressional testimony. Clemens has continued to maintain that he never used drugs.
