David Segui supported Brain McNamee’s decision to store evidence about steroid use by his clients

Federal prosecutors asked the judge Reggie Walton to permit the former first baseman of the Major League Baseball David Segui to testify in the trial related to the case of Roger Clemens. This person had a conversation with Brian McNamee, the former personal trainer of Roger Clemens. It is claimed that they have spoken about administration 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 application of steroids and other related drugs by Clemens. Moreover, 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, said that the steroid evidence was created 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 several players in 2001. It was certain years before the former trainer of Roger Clemens became the target of the investigation.
Information provided by David Segui to federal prosecutors differed entirely from that provided to the sportswriter Jim Baumbach. His affirmations provided to the sportswriter were published in an article in 2008. According to that piece of news, Segui confirmed that he had never spoken about steroids with his friend Brian McNamee.
Segui learnt about involvement of Brian McNamee into the case of Roger Clemens only in 2006, when he read an article in the Los Angeles Times.
Segui said openly about personal intake of steroids and other related medications. He said that he had been asked many times by players of the Major League Baseball whether he had used steroids. This person acknowledged that he had utilized them. But Segui affirmed that he had never discussed about application of steroids with Brian McNamee.
Segui supported McNamee’s decision to store evidence about intake of forbidden substances by his clients. According to Segui, it is a proper decision because sometimes innocent persons are blamed but guilty persons are covered. Thus, he could help to support the truth.
Although the judge Walton was asked to permit David Segui to testify in the trial connected with Roger Clemens, the decision of the judge is not announced yet.
