David Segui will help to reveal truth about Roger Clemens

Federal prosecutors hope that the judge Reggie Walton will permit the Cuban-American former Major League Baseball first baseman David Segui to testify in the trial linked with the case of Roger Clemens. This person had a conversation with Brian McNamee, the former coach of Roger Clemens. It is claimed that they have spoken about steroid use by the former famous baseball player.
McNamee was chosen to testify against Roger Clemens because he turned out to be the only person that had direct knowledge about administration of steroids and other related preparations by Roger Clemens. Furthermore, he saved a beer can with 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, claimed that the steroid evidence was fabricated by Brian McNamee after the questioning by federal prosecutors.
But prosecutors claimed that David Segui told them that Brian McNamee said that he stored several things as evidence of steroid use by some players in 2001. It was certain years before the former trainer of Roger Clemens became the target of the investigation.
Information provided by Segui to federal prosecutors differed significantly from that provided to the sportswriter Jim Baumbach. His words presented to the sportswriter were published in an article in 2008. According to that article, David Segui claimed that he had never discussed about steroids with his friend Brian McNamee.
David Segui learnt about involvement of Brian McNamee into the case of Roger Clemens only in 2006, when he read a piece of news in the Los Angeles Times.
David Segui was quite open in his discussions about personal usage of steroids and other related products. He said that Major League Baseball players asked him numerous times whether he had utilized steroids. This person acknowledged that he had utilized them. But David Segui confirmed that he had never spoken about usage of steroids with Brian McNamee.
Segui supported McNamee’s decision to save evidence about usage of prohibited medicines by his clients. According to Segui, it is a right decision because sometimes innocent persons are blamed but guilty persons are covered. Thus, Brian McNamee could help to reveal the truth.
Although federal prosecutors asked the judge Walton to permit Segui to present testimony in the trial linked with Roger Clemens, the decision of the judge is not announced yet.
