Former personal trainer Brian McNamee has turned physical
evidence that he believes will show Roger Clemens used
performance-enhancing drugs over to federal investigators,
his attorneys told the New York Daily News.
"This is evidence the government has that we believe will
corroborate Brian in every significant way," McNamee
lawyer Earl Ward told the Daily News.
The lawyers wouldn't discuss what the evidence is, but a
source told the Daily News that McNamee gave vials with
traces of steroids and human growth hormone, as well as
blood-stained syringes and gauze pads that might contain
Clemens' DNA, to the Justice Department's BALCO
investigators.
The evidence has been sent to a lab for testing, and
prosecutors might seek a court order for a DNA sample
from Clemens if the evidence contains traces of drugs and
blood, the Daily News reported.
