Federal prosecutors asked the judge Reggie Walton to permit the former Major League Baseball player David Segui to provide testimony in the trial linked with the case of Roger Clemens. This player had a conversation with Brian McNamee, the former coach of Roger Clemens. It is stated that they have discussed about application of steroids by the former well-known baseball player.
Brain McNamee was called to testify against Roger Clemens because he turned out to be the only person that had direct knowledge about usage of steroids and other related preparations by Roger Clemens. Moreover, he stored injection equipment: vials, syringes and needles which were allegedly mixed with the blood of Roger Clemens. DNA analysis was conducted in order to define whether the blood belonged really to Clemens.
Rusty Hardin, a defense attorney for Roger Clemens, said that the steroid evidence was thought up by Brian McNamee after the interpellation by federal prosecutors.
But prosecutors confirmed that David Segui told them that Brian McNamee said that he kept certain things as evidence of steroid use by several players in 2001. It was certain years before Roger Clemens’ former trainer became the target of the investigation.
Information presented by Segui to federal prosecutors differed significantly from that provided to Jim Baumbach, a sportswriter. His statements presented to the sportswriter were published in an article in 2008. According to that piece of news, Segui claimed that he had never discussed about steroids with his friend Brian McNamee.
David Segui learnt about implication of Brian McNamee into the trial of Roger Clemens only in 2006, when he read a piece of news in the Los Angeles Times.
Segui said openly about personal application of steroids and other related medications. He said that he had been asked many times by players of the Major League Baseball whether he had administered steroids. This person acknowledged that he had applied them. But David Segui noticed that he had never discussed about usage of steroids with Brian McNamee.
David Segui supported McNamee’s decision to store evidence about usage of prohibited preparations by his clients. According to the former first baseman of the Major League Baseball, it is a reasonable decision because sometimes innocent guys are blamed but guilty guys are covered. Thus, Brian McNamee could help to disclose the truth.
However the judge Walton was asked to permit David Segui to testify in the trial linked with Roger Clemens, the decision of the judge is not announced yet.
