New ‘creepy’ detail in Clemens’ trial

WASHINGTON

Amid a narrative of his complex relationship with Roger Clemens and performance-enhancing drugs, Brian McNamee weaved in a tale of two wives.

He said it was his own wife who nagged him into keeping evidence that has become crucial in the trial of the storied pitcher, and it was a request from Clemens’ wife that led to what McNamee called a “creepy” injection scene in a bathroom.

Clemens’ strength coach said he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone in 2000 and with steroids in 2001, and he gave Debbie Clemens a shot of HGH in 2003.

“It destroyed me. It killed me. ... I put myself in a situation where I had to do this,” McNamee said.
