Federal prosecutors hope that judge will permit David Segui to testify against Roger Clemens

Federal prosecutors hope that the judge Reggie Walton will permit the former Major League Baseball player David Segui to provide testimony in the trial connected with the case of Roger Clemens. This player had a conversation with Brian McNamee, the former personal trainer of Roger Clemens. It is claimed that they have spoken about usage of steroids by the former prominent baseball player.
Brain McNamee was called to testify against Roger Clemens because he turned out to be the only person who had direct knowledge about usage of steroids and other related products by Clemens. Moreover, Brian McNamee kept injection equipment: vials, syringes and needles which were allegedly mixed with Roger Clemens’ blood. DNA analysis was conducted in order to confirm whether the blood belonged really to Clemens.
Rusty Hardin, a defense attorney for Roger Clemens, claimed that the steroid evidence was made by Brian McNamee after the interrogation 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 certain players in 2001. It was some years before Roger Clemens’ former trainer became the target of the investigation.
Information presented by David Segui to federal prosecutors differed essentially from that provided to Jim Baumbach, a sportswriter. His words presented to the sportswriter were published in an article in 2008. According to that piece of news, David Segui confirmed that he had never discussed about steroids with his friend Brian McNamee.
Segui found out about implication of Brian McNamee into the trial of Roger Clemens just in 2006, when he read an article in the Los Angeles Times.
David Segui said openly about personal application 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. The former Major League Baseball first baseman acknowledged that he had applied them. But Segui noted that he had never spoken about usage of steroids with Brian McNamee.
David Segui supported McNamee’s decision to store evidence about intake of banned preparations by his clients. According to Segui, it is a right decision because sometimes innocent guys are blamed but guilty guys are covered. So, Brian McNamee could help to support the truth.
Although the judge Walton was asked to permit David Segui to provide testimony in the trial linked with Roger Clemens, the decision of the judge is not announced yet.
