McCready
The Daily News earlier had reported that Clemens had a decade-long relationship with McCready. The Daily News, citing sources close to the government's investigation, reported that McCready was questioned about her relationship with Clemens. They reportedly met in 1991 when she was 15, and sometime thereafter allegedly began an affair that continued until 2006.
"She's relevant because she spent 15 years in a relationship with Roger Clemens and probably knows a lot about Roger's associates and activities," Richard Emery, one of Brian McNamee's lawyers, told the Daily News. "She may have leads to people Roger associated with that the FBI wants to follow. She could lead to a lot of probative information."
In February, the FBI opened a perjury investigation of Clemens after the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform sent a letter to the Justice Department.
The letter asked the Justice Department to look into the differing accounts of Clemens and McNamee, a former trainer to Clemens and Andy Pettitte. McNamee has said he injected Clemens with steroids and HGH numerous times from 1998 to 2001.
Clemens refuted McNamee's claims in his testimony before a congressional committee in February. Shortly after that the government requested an investigation.
Earlier this month, Clemens denied having an affair with a 15-year-old but didn't specifically address whether he had a romance with McCready when he apologized for "mistakes" he had made in his personal life.
"Even though these articles contain many false accusations and mistakes, I need to say that I have made mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry," Clemens said in a statement issued by spokesman Patrick Dorton. "I have apologized to my family and apologize to my fans. Like everyone, I have flaws. I have sometimes made choices which have not been right."
McCready has not addressed her alleged relationship with Clemens publicly but is expected to address the issue in a film on her life and career that is scheduled to be released this summer.
Emery had earlier told the Daily News that he plans to depose McCready for a separate defamation lawsuit that Clemens has filed against McNamee.
"He brought it on by putting his reputation at issue," Emery told the Daily News. "He can't cabin off his reputation with respect to the use of steroids from the rest of his reputation."
