Jose Canseco tweets he’s been subpoenaed by grand jury investigating Roger Clemens

Canseco tweets about grand jury subpoena

NEW YORK — Jose Canseco says he has been subpoenaed by a grand jury investigating whether Roger Clemens lied to Congress when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs.

Canseco posted on his Twitter page Tuesday that the FBI was about to visit his house, then said he had received a subpoena to appear before the grand jury “about roger clemens,andrew pettite and others” on April 8.

Pettitte has acknowledged taking human growth hormone and told congressional investigators that Clemens informed him a decade ago that he used HGH.

Canseco wrote in a 2005 book that he introduced several players to steroids and performance-enhancing drugs. But the slugger has said he has no knowledge of Clemens using drugs.
