David Segui discussed with Brian McNamee about steroid use by Roger Clemens

Federal prosecutors want the judge Reggie Walton to permit the Cuban-American former Major League Baseball first baseman David Segui to testify in the trial connected 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 spoken about usage 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 who had direct knowledge about administration of steroids and other related drugs by Clemens. Moreover, he kept injection equipment: vials, syringes and needles that were allegedly mixed with the blood of Roger Clemens. DNA analysis was made in order to determine whether the blood belonged really to Clemens.
Rusty Hardin, a defense attorney for Roger Clemens, said that the steroid evidence was made by Brian McNamee after the interrogation by federal prosecutors.
But prosecutors noted that David Segui told them that Brian McNamee said that he saved some things as evidence of steroid use by several players in 2001. It was several years before the former trainer of Roger Clemens became the target of the investigation.
Information presented by David Segui to federal prosecutors differed completely from that presented to Jim Baumbach, a sportswriter. His statements provided to the sportswriter were published in an article in 2008. According to that article, Segui confirmed 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 said openly about personal intake of steroids and other related preparations. He said that Major League Baseball players asked him numerous times whether he had administered steroids. The former Major League Baseball first baseman acknowledged that he had used them. But David Segui noticed that he had never discussed about application of steroids with Brian McNamee.
Segui supported McNamee’s decision to save evidence about intake of forbidden preparations by his clients. According to David Segui, it is a right decision because sometimes innocent persons are blamed but guilty guys are covered. So, Brian McNamee could help to reveal the truth.
Although the judge Walton was asked to permit David Segui to testify in the trial related to Roger Clemens, it is unclear yet whether the judge will allow it.
