David Segui intends to testify on behalf of government in trial related to Roger Clemens’ case

Federal prosecutors want the judge Reggie Walton to permit the Cuban-American former Major League Baseball first baseman David Segui to present testimony in the trial connected with the case of Roger Clemens. This person had a conversation with Brian McNamee, the former coach of Roger Clemens. It is confirmed that they have discussed about steroid use by the former famous baseball player.
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 usage of steroids and other related medicines by Clemens. Moreover, he kept injection equipment: vials, syringes and needles which were allegedly mixed with Roger Clemens’ blood. DNA analysis was made in order to determine whether the blood belonged really to Clemens.
Rusty Hardin, a defense attorney for Roger Clemens, confirmed that the steroid evidence was fabricated by Brian McNamee after the interrogation by federal prosecutors.
But prosecutors confirmed that David Segui told them that Brian McNamee said that he saved some things as evidence of steroid use by some 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 completely from that provided to the sportswriter Jim Baumbach. His statements presented to Jim Baumbach were published in an article in 2008. According to that article, David Segui claimed that he had never spoken about steroids with his friend Brian McNamee.
David Segui learnt about involvement of Brian McNamee into the trial 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 drugs. 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 administered them. But Segui noted that he had never discussed about usage of steroids with Brian McNamee.
David Segui supported McNamee’s decision to save evidence about application of forbidden drugs 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 persons are covered. So, Brian McNamee could help to disclose 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.
