Detective Nick Bingham: motorcycle gangs don’t possess large quantities of steroids

Federal prosecutors want the judge Reggie Walton to permit the former Major League Baseball player David Segui to present testimony in the trial linked with the case of Roger Clemens. This player had a conversation with Brian McNamee, the former trainer of Roger Clemens. It is claimed that they have discussed about usage of steroids by the former well-known 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 that had direct knowledge about usage of steroids and other related medicines by Roger Clemens. Furthermore, Brian McNamee saved injection equipment: vials, syringes and needles that were allegedly mixed with Roger Clemens’ blood. DNA analysis was made in order to define 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 interpellation by federal prosecutors.
But prosecutors claimed that David Segui told them that Brian McNamee said that he saved 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 provided to the sportswriter 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.
Segui found out about implication of Brian McNamee into the trial of Roger Clemens only 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 players of the Major League Baseball asked him many times whether he had used steroids. The former Major League Baseball first baseman admitted that he had administered them. But Segui claimed that he had never spoken about intake of steroids with Brian McNamee.
Segui supported McNamee’s decision to save evidence about intake of forbidden preparations by his clients. According to the former first baseman of the Major League Baseball, it is a proper decision because sometimes innocent guys are blamed but guilty persons are covered. So, Brian McNamee could help to reveal the truth.
Although federal prosecutors asked the judge Walton to permit Segui to provide testimony in the trial linked with Roger Clemens, the judge didn’t announce his decision yet.
