Report: Clemens' attorney hires private eyes to study McNamee

老克的辯護律師僱用私人調查團來研究McNamee的報告內容

Updated: December 27, 2007, 11:19 AM ET

Roger Clemens' lawyer has hired private investigators in an attempt to challenge the credibility of Brian McNamee, who has claimed to have injected Clemens with steroids, a lawyer familiar with the matter told The New York Times.
老克的律師僱用了私人調查團企圖挑戰Brian McNamee報告內容的可信度，Brian McNamee之前聲稱他曾經替老克注射過類固醇，一位熟悉該事務的律師對紐約時報這樣透露。

McNamee told former Sen. George Mitchell that he injected Clemens with steroids while Clemens was pitching for the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees. Clemens, the biggest star named in Mitchell's report on performance-enhancing drug use in baseball, has denied ever using steroids or human growth hormone, saying the report is "simply not true."
McNamee告訴前參議員George Mitchell說，他曾經替藍鳥與洋基時期的老克注射過類固醇。老克是Mitchell禁藥報告當中名氣最大的球員，他也否認了自己曾經使用過類固醇或是人類生長激素，並且說這項報告的內容＂完全不是真的＂。

Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, said Wednesday he would conduct his own investigation into the allegations against the seven-time Cy Young Award winner. He claimed that Mitchell had failed to interview some key people who know Clemens and McNamee, though Hardin has declined to identify those people.
老克的律師Rusty Hardin在星期三的時候表示，他會進行他個人對於有關這位七屆賽揚獎得主遭到指控的調查。他指出Mitchell並沒有與幾位同樣認識Clemens和McNamee的關鍵人物進行面談，雖然Hardin拒絕透露這幾位人士的名字。

"We are convinced the conclusions in Mitchell's report are wrong and are investigating the findings ourselves," Hardin said, according to The Times.
＂我們深信Mitchell的報告是錯誤的而且我們將會自己進行調查並找出真的答案。＂Hardin這樣告訴紐約時報。

McNamee's attorney, Earl Ward, said McNamee had been thoroughly vetted by federal authorities, who accompanied him during his interviews with Mitchell, and that McNamee had been threatened with prosecution if he lied to Mitchell's investigators.
McNamee的辯護律師Earl Ward說，McNamee已經徹底地與聯邦人員進行過審查，這些聯邦人員也陪同McNamee一起與Mitchell進行面談，而他也被威脅說，假如他對Mitchell報告內容說謊的話，將會被告發。

"There's nothing new in Brian's background that Clemens or his folks don't know about," Ward said, according to The Times. "Our response to all this is that Senator Mitchell's investigation was unbiased and objective. I don't think you're going to get the same degree of objectivity from Roger's camp."
＂對於Brian的背景，已經沒有什麼新鮮事是老克或是他的家人不知道的。＂Ward這麼告訴紐約時報。＂我們對於這整件事情的回應就是，參議員Mitchell的調查內容是公正且客觀的。我不認為你們可以從老克陣營的調查當中得到同樣的客觀性。＂

According to the Mitchell report, McNamee said he injected Clemens with steroids in 1998 while Clemens was pitching for the Blue Jays, and steroids and HGH in 2000 and 2001 while he was a member of the Yankees.
根據Mitchell的報告，McNamee說他在1998年替老克注射過類固醇，當時老克正在藍鳥隊投球，並且在2000與2001年替老克注射類固醇與人類生長激素，當時老克則是洋基隊的一員。

Clemens' last four Cy Young Awards were won in 1997, 1998, 2001 and 2004.
老克最近獲得的四屆賽揚獎分別是1997、1998、2001與2004年。

CBS' "60 Minutes" will air its interview with Clemens on Jan. 6 and Clemens said he will make himself available to reporters following the broadcast.
CBS' 的"60 Minutes"將會在1月6號播送老克的訪談內容，老克說他將會準備好面對與記者所進行的廣播面談。

Hardin said the interview with Mike Wallace -- a self-described friend of Clemens who said he's frequented owner George Steinbrenner's suite at Yankee Stadium -- was scheduled to take place this week at Clemens' home in Katy, Texas.
Hardin說，與這位自稱是老克朋友並且說他是大老板在洋基球場包廂常客的Mike Wallace所進行的訪談，在這禮拜的時候，就已經在老克位於德州的家中排定好了。
