McNamee Meets With Federal Prosecutors

Committee Doesn't Expect To Give Immunity

Brian McNamee, a former trainer of Roger Clemens who accused the seven-time Cy Young winner of using steroids met with federal prosecutors for about three hours Thursday.

McNamee spoke with Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Parrella and IRS Special Agent Jeff Novitzky about the events that led up to his phone call last week with the seven-time Cy Young Award winner, a person familiar with the session said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose details.

The meeting took place at the office of one of McNamee's lawyers, Earl Ward.

Parrella and Novitzky, part of the BALCO prosecution team that has indicted Barry Bonds for perjury and obstruction of justice, were in the area for Friday's sentencing of former track star Marion Jones.

No Deal For Clemens


A congressional source told ESPN that the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee does not expect to give immunity to Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Chuck Knoblauch, McNamee or former Mets clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski when they are scheduled to testify about performance-enhancing drugs on Feb. 13.

The five men will be asked about information contained in former Sen. George Mitchell's report on steroids in Major League Baseball.

According to ESPN, the committee expects to have a final ruling on immunity by next week.

Knoblauch Speaks Out


Former Yankee Knoblauch broke his silence since the release of the Mitchell Report in an interview with the New York Times.

According to the Times, the infielder was not angry about being mentioned in the Mitchell Report and called the steroids report "crazy" and "interesting."

He did not, however, acknowledge to the Times that he used performance-enhancing drugs.

"I have nothing to defend," Knoblauch told the newspaper. "I have nothing to hide at the same time."
