Report: Pettitte asked about Clemens
Associated Press
WASHINGTON --
Federal prosecutors have interviewed Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte as
they investigate whether his former teammate Roger Clemens lied to Congress
when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs.
Two people familiar with the case told The Associated Press on Tuesday
that Pettitte was in Washington last week to meet with prosecutors. The
people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized
to discuss the ongoing investigation.
The same week prosecutors were talking to Pettitte, they also won a guilty
plea from the Houston Astros' All-Star shortstop Miguel Tejada for a
misdemeanor count of lying to Congress about steroids in baseball.
Pettitte could be a crucial witness for any case against Clemens. The two
trained together for years. Pettitte has acknowledged taking human growth
hormone and told congressional investigators that Clemens informed him
nearly a decade ago that he used HGH.
Prosecutors are weighing whether to bring perjury charges against Clemens
for denying under oath to Congress that he took performance-enhancing
substances.
Lawyers for Pettitte declined to comment.
Much of what investigators wanted to know Pettitte had already told
Congress.
Word of his recent involvement in the case came as Yankees superstar
third baseman Alex Rodriguez answered questions at spring training camp
in Florida about his own past use of performance enhancers.
Pettitte, who was at the Rodriguez press conference, was asked later
about his meeting with prosecutors. "I can't talk to you about that,"
Pettitte said.
Around this time last year, Pettitte acknowledged that he might be
questioned by the Justice Department.
"I'm just prepared that it might happen," Pettitte said at the time.
"There's nothing I can do. Until somebody tells me to go somewhere,
I can't do anything."
It was unclear whether Pettitte has been called before a grand jury.
Because Pettitte has already given a sworn statement, prosecutors do
not necessarily have to use the grand jury to make their case.
Personal trainer Brian McNamee has told federal agents, baseball
investigator George Mitchell and a House committee that he injected
Clemens more than a dozen times with steroids and human growth hormone
from 1998-2001.
Clemens denied it, testifying that he did not use performance-enhancers.
"I have never taken steroids or HGH," the 354-game winner told a
congressional committee a year ago.
Pettitte and another former Yankee, Chuck Knoblauch, both acknowledged
to Congress that McNamee was correct when he said they used
performance-enhancers.
The he-said, he-said nature of the sworn testimony given to Congress by
McNamee and Clemens prompted lawmakers to ask the Justice Department to
investigate whether the former pitcher lied.
The case was brought before a grand jury after an 11-month FBI investigation.
Clemens last pitched in the major leagues for the New York Yankees in 2007.
Pettitte signed a one-year, $5.5 million contract to pitch for the Yankees
this year.
