The Pitcher Before Congress

A star pitcher was called before a congressional committee after an official report on drug use in his sport named him. Under oath, he denied ever using steroids or human growth hormone. His former strength trainer told the same committee he had personally injected him with both. The trainer produced needles and cotton he said he had kept for years. The pitcher's defence is that he told the truth and that the trainer cannot be believed. He was charged with perjury, false statements and obstructing Congress.
