Judge Walton was asked to testify in trial related to Roger Clemens’ case

Federal prosecutors asked the judge Reggie Walton to permit the Cuban-American former Major League Baseball first baseman David Segui to testify in the trial related to the case of Roger Clemens. This player had a conversation with Brian McNamee, the former trainer of Roger Clemens. It is confirmed that they have spoken about steroid use by the former celebrated 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 intake of steroids and other related medicines by Clemens. Furthermore, he kept a beer can with vials, syringes and needles which were allegedly mixed with the blood of Roger Clemens. DNA analysis was conducted 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 created by Brian McNamee after the interrogation by federal prosecutors.
But prosecutors confirmed that David Segui told them that Brian McNamee said that he stored some things as evidence of steroid use by certain players in 2001. It was several years before the former trainer of Roger Clemens became the target of the investigation.
Information presented by Segui to federal prosecutors differed essentially from that provided to Jim Baumbach, a sportswriter. His words presented to Jim Baumbach 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.
David 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.
David Segui said openly about personal intake 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 taken steroids. This person acknowledged that he had applied them. But David Segui affirmed that he had never spoken about application of steroids with Brian McNamee.
Segui supported McNamee’s decision to save evidence about application of prohibited products by his clients. According to the former first baseman of the Major League Baseball, it is a correct decision because sometimes innocent persons are blamed but guilty persons are covered. So, Brian McNamee could help to reveal the truth.
However the judge Walton was asked to permit David Segui to present testimony in the trial connected with Roger Clemens, the judge didn’t announce his decision yet.
