Roger Clemens’s meeting with a congressional committee investigating steroids in baseball was pushed back until February 5.
Clemens originally was asked to appear Saturday for a deposition or transcribed interview with staff members from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. That panel has called a February 13 hearing where Clemens and his former personal trainer, Brian McNamee, are among five witnesses slated to appear. The committee announced a new schedule yesterday of prehearing meetings with those witnesses.
Chuck Knoblauch, a former teammate of Clemens’s with the Yankees, was subpoenaed to appear for a deposition or transcribed interview on Tuesday, although the committee said he has yet to be served. Andy Pettitte, a longtime teammate and workout partner of Clemens’s, has been asked to appear January 30, with McNamee down for February 7.
