It’s been ages since we’ve heard or seen or probably thought about Roger Clemens and his legal wranglings. Until today:

The grand jury believed to be investigating Roger Clemens for perjury has issued a subpoena to the owner of a now-defunct Houston-area gym linked to the distribution of steroids and human growth hormone.
[...]
[Richard Emery, one of the attorneys representing Brian McNamee] believes the subpoenas indicate that the Justice Department has gone beyond McNamee’s claims as it investigates Clemens.

“It continues to confirm my belief that it is only a matter of time – and maybe not that much time – until Clemens is indicted,” Emery said. “I would assume they are moving forward. The point is they have gone well beyond the McNamee allegations and are looking at other evidence.”

Bonds skated and continues to skate free. McGwire, Sosa, Palmiero, et al, all free to live free and rich, however under a cloud. Clemens, however, might be sent to jail. Let this be a lesson to every player: legal action, unless you are truly 100% innocent, might not be the tactic of choice.
