WASHINGTON, May 15 (Reuters) – The star prosecution witness
in Roger Clemens’ perjury trial testified on Tuesday that he
secretly stashed medical waste that became evidence of the
former ace pitcher’s alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Brian McNamee, Clemens’ former trainer, later assured
Clemens he would never betray him over his alleged drug use.

WASHINGTON, May 15 (Reuters) – The star prosecution witness
in Roger Clemens’ perjury trial testified on Tuesday that he
kept used needles and other drug waste to quiet his wife’s fears
that he would “go down” for the pitcher’s alleged use of
performance-enhancing drugs.

Brian McNamee, Clemens’ former trainer, said he and his
wife, Eileen, argued repeatedly about him giving Clemens human
growth hormone and anabolic steroids from 1998 to 2001.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The star prosecution witness in Roger Clemens’ perjury trial will return for a second day of testimony on Tuesday with more vivid details expected about the former baseball pitcher’s alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Brian McNamee, whose testimony is crucial to prosecutors’ charges that Clemens lied to Congress about his alleged drug use, gave jurors a detailed description on Monday of injecting Clemens with anabolic steroids while with the Toronto Blue Jays in 1998.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A key prosecution witness in Roger Clemens’s perjury trial said on Monday he started giving the former baseball star “bootie shots” of anabolic steroids at his request during the 1998 season.

Brian McNamee, a former personal trainer for Clemens, said he first injected the pitcher in his apartment suite at the Toronto Blue Jay’s Skydome stadium.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte’s wavering testimony that former teammate Roger Clemens told him he used performance-enhancing drugs should stand, the judge in Clemens’ perjury trial ruled on Monday, handing a victory to prosecutors.

Pettitte testified two weeks ago that Clemens told him in 1999 or 2000 he had used human growth hormone, a key piece of testimony for prosecutors who have charged Clemens of lying to Congress about using performance-enhancing drugs.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Former baseball pitching ace Roger Clemens showed no signs he used anabolic steroids while playing for the Houston Astros, the team’s physician testified on Thursday at Clemens’s federal perjury trial.

Dr. David Lintner, the Astros’ team physician, said Clemens lacked symptoms of steroid use such as overdeveloped muscles, leanness, acne or male pattern baldness when he played for the team from 2004 to 2006.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Attorneys for ex-pitching ace Roger Clemens sought on Monday to strike a key witness’ wavering testimony that Clemens once said he used performance-enhancing drugs, a critical element of the federal perjury case against him.

Andy Pettitte, a former New York Yankees teammate of Clemens, agreed last week under defense cross-examination that he was “50-50″ about whether Clemens had told him in 1999 or 2000 he had used human growth hormone.

WASHINGTON, May 3 (Reuters) – A key witness in the federal
perjury trial of Roger Clemens, his former trainer, could
testify on Tuesday, a prosecutor said on Thursday, setting the
stage for a possible courtroom confrontation bet ween the
baseball legend and his ex-assistant.

Testimony from the witness, Brian McNamee, is critical to
the government’s charges that Clemens lied to Congress about
using anabolic steroids and human growth hormone.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A key witness in the federal perjury trial of former baseball ace Roger Clemens could testify early next week, a prosecutor said on Thursday, setting the stage for a potential courtroom confrontation.

Brian McNamee, Clemens’ former personal trainer, could testify “before Tuesday,” prosecutor Steven Durham told U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton.

WASHINGTON, May 2 (Reuters) – New York Yankees pitcher Andy
Pettitte testified on Wednesday in Roger Clemens’ federal
perjury trial that there was a 50-50 chance he had misheard his
friend and former teammate say he used human growth hormone.

In a second day of cross-examination by the defense,
Pettitte said he might have misunderstood Clemens when the ace
pitcher told him in 1999 or 2000 that he had used human growth
hormone to recover from injury.
