No Injections From Trainer, Clemens Tells 60 Minutes
By Michael S. Schmidt
Tags: Mitchell report, roger clemens, steroids
Roger Clemens told Mike Wallace in an interview for “60 Minutes,” scheduled to be broadcast on Sunday, that he never took injections from his former trainer, Brian McNamee, Wallace said.
Some athletes, confronted with evidence that they were injected with performance-enhancing drugs, have admitted they took injections but have said they did not know that they were for banned substances.
“He says what he has said before and has said all along,” Wallace said Thursday in a telephone interview. “He said he never took injections from McNamee. He says he didn’t take the stuff. Nothing different.”
McNamee made disclosures about Clemens to federal investigators and to George J. Mitchell, the former United States senator who conducted a 20-month investigation into performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. He said he injected Clemens with steroids at least four times each in the 1998, 2000 and 2001 seasons, and four to six times with human growth hormone in the 2000 season.
McNamee, who was Clemens’s longtime personal trainer, spoke with Mitchell under a deal with prosecutors that he would not be charged with drug dealing or lying to an agent if he told the truth.
Clemens has not answered questions from the news media since the Mitchell report was released. He has denied the allegations through his lawyer and his agent, and in a two-minute video released on the Internet.
The “60 Minutes” interview was taped Friday at Clemens’s home in Katy, Tex.
“He was first rate and forward with me,” Wallace said. “There isn’t a whole lot I can say about the interview; I wouldn’t want to spoil it.”
McNamee’s lawyers have said they will sue Clemens if he denies the truthfulness of McNamee’s statements. Richard D. Emery, a lawyer for McNamee, said Clemens should prevent the segment from being broadcast or face a lawsuit for damaging McNamee’s livelihood.
“He’s got a chance to protect himself,” said Emery, who specializes in libel and defamation lawsuits. “We’re not going to sue him if he doesn’t do it. But if he does it, we’re going to sue him.”
Wallace would not say how long he interviewed Clemens, and he said he had not seen the segment yet because it had not been edited. |

No, I read it Peter Gammons' chat on Boston.com. I know you're a fellow Sox fan, check it out. I'm pretty sure that's where I saw it, anyway. |

That has been reported.
Not only is he a friend, he is often spotted sitting in the owners box and watching games.
I mean why not use a reporter who at least does not have Yankee ties?
He might as well have sat down with Susyn Waldman..
This is going to be great.. :D |

Do you think it was smart of Roger to hand pick Mike Wallace since Wallace is a friend of Steinbrenner and is a frequent guest in his box at Yankee Stadium?
Peter_Gammons Probably not. Wallace did a piece on Clemens for 60 Minutes a few years ago and had admired him from his Boston days. As you know, Mr. Wallace is from Brookline and grew up three miles from Fenway Park. I'm sure that Clemens felt more comfortable with Wallace but in the end, how this plays in the court of public opinion likely won't be decided for a long time. |
