David Segui testifies about steroid use by Roger Clemens

Federal prosecutors hope that the judge Reggie Walton will permit the former first baseman of the Major League Baseball David Segui to testify in the trial connected with the case of Roger Clemens. This player had a conversation with Brian McNamee, the former trainer of Roger Clemens. It is confirmed that they have spoken about administration of steroids by the former baseball star.
The former personal trainer of Roger Clemens was called to testify against his client because he turned out to be the only person who had direct knowledge about intake of steroids and other related preparations by Clemens. Furthermore, Brian McNamee stored injection equipment: vials, syringes and needles that were allegedly mixed with the blood of Roger Clemens. DNA analysis was conducted in order to confirm whether the blood belonged really to Clemens.
Rusty Hardin, a defense attorney for Roger Clemens, confirmed that the steroid evidence was created by Brian McNamee after the questioning by federal prosecutors.
But prosecutors confirmed that David Segui told them that Brian McNamee said that he saved several things as evidence of steroid use by some players in 2001. It was certain years before Roger Clemens’ former trainer became the target of the investigation.
Information provided by David Segui to federal prosecutors differed totally from that presented to the sportswriter Jim Baumbach. 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 spoken about steroids with his friend Brian McNamee.
Segui learnt about implication of Brian McNamee into the case of Roger Clemens just in 2006, when he read an article in the Los Angeles Times.
Segui was quite open in his discussions about personal usage of steroids and other related medicines. He said that he had been asked many times by players of the Major League Baseball whether he had used steroids. This person admitted that he had taken them. But Segui claimed that he had never discussed about application of steroids with Brian McNamee.
Segui supported the decision of McNamee to keep evidence about application of prohibited medications by his clients. According to David Segui, it is a correct decision because sometimes innocent persons are blamed but guilty persons are covered. So, he could help to disclose the truth.
However federal prosecutors asked the judge Walton to permit Segui to present testimony in the trial related to Roger Clemens, the decision of the judge is not announced yet.
