It is not announced yet whether David Segui will be allowed to provide his testimonies in trial related to Roger Clemens

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 related to the case of Roger Clemens. This person had a conversation with Brian McNamee, the former coach of Roger Clemens. It is stated that they have discussed about application of steroids by the former baseball star.
Brain McNamee was called to testify against Roger Clemens because he turned out to be the only person who had direct knowledge about usage of steroids and other related products by Roger Clemens. Furthermore, he stored a beer can with vials, syringes and needles that were allegedly mixed with the blood of Roger Clemens. DNA analysis was made in order to confirm whether it was Clemens’ blood.
Rusty Hardin, a defense attorney for Roger Clemens, claimed that the steroid evidence was made by Brian McNamee after the interrogation by federal prosecutors.
But prosecutors claimed that David Segui told them that Brian McNamee said that he saved certain 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 Segui to federal prosecutors differed essentially from that provided to the sportswriter Jim Baumbach. 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 a piece of news in the Los Angeles Times.
Segui discussed openly about personal administration of steroids and other related products. 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 acknowledged that he had applied them. But David Segui confirmed that he had never spoken about administration of steroids with Brian McNamee.
David Segui supported McNamee’s decision to store evidence about administration of banned preparations by his clients. According to David Segui, it is a reasonable decision because sometimes innocent guys are blamed but guilty guys are covered. Thus, Brian McNamee could help to disclose the truth.
However federal prosecutors asked the judge Walton to permit Segui to provide testimony in the trial connected with Roger Clemens, the decision of the judge is not announced yet.
