Former New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens’s genetic material was found on medical waste that his ex-trainer turned over to federal investigators, a DNA analyst testified at the perjury trial of the baseball player.
Alan Keel of Forensic Science Associates, a California consulting firm, told federal court jurors yesterday in Washington that he found Clemens’s DNA on two cotton balls and a needle. The former trainer, Brian McNamee, left blood on a piece of gauze and pus on a piece of tissue, Keel said. McNamee said earlier he might have cut himself breaking the top of an ampul.
