Ex-trainer testifies he injected Clemens with steroids

New York Daily News / 5-15-12

It was a booty call Brian McNamee will never forget.

In the summer of 1998, McNamee was the strength and conditioning coach for the Toronto Blue Jays, working with the team’s star pitcher, Roger Clemens. One day, McNamee says, Clemens approached him for help administering an intramuscular injection in his buttocks. The substance was Winstrol V, a powerful anabolic steroid.

“That was his terminology — booty,” McNamee recalled on the witness stand Monday at Clemens’ perjury trial, where McNamee testified that he began personally injecting the seven-time Cy Young Award winner with steroids that summer.

SNIP

“I knew what I was doing was illegal,” said McNamee, who went on to describe a series of injections throughout the 1998 season. “I did what I was asked and I shouldn’t have. I made a mistake. I wish I wouldn’t have done it. I was young. I wish to God I could take it back right now.”
