Clemens, congressmen talk

Trainer McNamee speaks under oath

? Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee brought their vastly different stories to Capitol Hill on Thursday, when the star pitcher met one-on-one with congressmen informally and his former personal trainer met with House lawyers for a sworn deposition.

The seven-time Cy Young Award winner’s denials of McNamee’s allegations in the Mitchell Report about drug use drew Congress’ attention.

McNamee did not speak to reporters on his way into the offices of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. On another floor in the Rayburn House Office Building, Clemens made brief comments as he walked through marble hallways to go to various offices of representatives on the committee. Clemens and McNamee were accompanied by lawyers.

“I’m just glad they made time in their schedule so I can go by and talk to them today,” Clemens said shortly before stepping through the wood double doors to the office of Rep. Tom Davis, the committee’s ranking Republican.

Clemens met with Davis and committee chairman Henry Waxman for about 20 minutes, then signed an autograph for a bystander.
