Baseball- Clemens to be indicted for perjury-NYT

WASHINGTON Aug 19 (Reuters) - Baseball pitcher Roger Clemens will be indicted on charges of making false statements to the U.S. Congress during an investigation into doping, The New York Times said on Thursday, citing two people briefed on the matter.

The paper said the charges stemmed from testimony Clemens and his former trainer gave under oath two years ago to a panel in the House of Representatives, contradicting each other on whether Clemens had used banned substances. (Writing by Frances Kerry, Editing by Doina Chiacu)
