01/30: McNamee Lawyers: Pettitte Can Corroborate Claims Against Clemens
Posted by: Patrick
Brian McNamee's lawyers are acting like they are pretty confident that Andy Pettitte will corroborate the claims that have been made against Roger Clemens. One of his lawyers, Earl Ward, said:
Meanwhile, Pettitte's lawyer, Jay Reisinger, had this to say:
We'll know on Monday.
"Based on what we know, there was a situation where Andy was speaking to Roger in Brian's presence, then Andy came over to Brian and essentially said, 'Why didn't you tell me about this stuff?' He referred to HGH. Brian discouraged him and then several months later, when he (Pettitte) got injured, he came back and asked Brian about it, and that's when Brian injected him. We believe that based on the fact that Andy came to Brian and asked him about HGH, it was Roger who told Andy about HGH and that's why he asked Brian about it."
Meanwhile, Pettitte's lawyer, Jay Reisinger, had this to say:
"He hasn't testified yet, and I'm not going to comment on what he's going to testify about.
We'll know on Monday.
