Federal prosecutors are waiting for judge Walton’s decision about allowance of David Segui to Roger Clemens’ case

Federal prosecutors want the judge Reggie Walton to permit the former Major League Baseball player David Segui to provide testimony in the trial related to the case of Roger Clemens. This player had a conversation with Brian McNamee, the former coach of Roger Clemens. It is confirmed that they have spoken about intake of steroids by the former celebrated baseball player.
McNamee was chosen to testify against Roger Clemens because he turned out to be the only person that had direct knowledge about application of steroids and other related medicines by Clemens. Furthermore, he saved injection equipment: vials, syringes and needles that were allegedly mixed with Roger Clemens’ blood. DNA analysis was made in order to define whether the blood belonged really to Clemens.
Rusty Hardin, a defense attorney for Roger Clemens, claimed that the steroid evidence was created by Brian McNamee after the interpellation by federal prosecutors.
But prosecutors noted that David Segui told them that Brian McNamee said that he kept several things as evidence of steroid use by certain players in 2001. It was several years before Roger Clemens’ former trainer became the target of the investigation.
Information presented by David Segui to federal prosecutors differed completely from that provided to Jim Baumbach, a sportswriter. His affirmations provided to the sportswriter were published in an article in 2008. According to that piece of news, Segui confirmed that he had never spoken about steroids with his friend Brian McNamee.
Segui found out about implication of Brian McNamee into the case of Roger Clemens only in 2006, when he read a piece of news in the Los Angeles Times.
Segui discussed openly about personal application of steroids and other related medications. He said that players of the Major League Baseball asked him many times whether he had taken steroids. This person admitted that he had used them. But David Segui claimed that he had never discussed about administration of steroids with Brian McNamee.
Segui supported McNamee’s decision to store evidence about intake of banned preparations by his clients. According to Segui, it is a proper decision because sometimes innocent guys are blamed but guilty guys are covered. Thus, Brian McNamee could help to disclose the truth.
However federal prosecutors asked the judge Walton to permit Segui to provide testimony in the trial connected with Roger Clemens, it is unclear yet whether the judge will allow it.
