Report: Pettitte asked about Clemens Associated Press WASHINGTON -- Federal prosecutors have interviewed Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte as they investigate whether his former teammate Roger Clemens lied to Congress when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs. 聯邦檢察官已經和老派面談過，因為他們想要調查老派的前隊友，Roger Clemens，是否有在他使用performance-enhancing drugs的事情上對國會說謊。 Two people familiar with the case told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Pettitte was in Washington last week to meet with prosecutors. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation. 兩位接近此案調查的人士在星期二告訴美聯社說老派上個星期曾經在華府和檢方會面。不過兩位暱名人士表示他們未被授權對偵查尚在進行中的事情發表評論。 The same week prosecutors were talking to Pettitte, they also won a guilty plea from the Houston Astros' All-Star shortstop Miguel Tejada for a misdemeanor count of lying to Congress about steroids in baseball. 同一個禮拜，檢方和老派進行談話，檢方同時掌握了一則來自太色人星星級游擊手 Miguel Tejada 有罪的證詞，也就是他也在大聯盟類固醇事件中對國會說謊。 Pettitte could be a crucial witness for any case against Clemens. The two trained together for years. Pettitte has acknowledged taking human growth hormone and told congressional investigators that Clemens informed him nearly a decade ago that he used HGH. 對火箭人來說，老派則很有可能變成一位證明他有無說謊的關鍵證人，因為他們兩個曾經有兩年的時間是在一起訓練的。老派過去已經承認他有使用人類生長激素、並且告訴國會調查委員們老克曾經說過他大約在10年前有使用過HGHs。 Prosecutors are weighing whether to bring perjury charges against Clemens for denying under oath to Congress that he took performance-enhancing substances. 檢察官將會衡量是否要對Clemens在作偽證的行為提出控訴。老克在國會殿堂上曾對他的證詞發誓說他沒有使用人類生長激素。 Lawyers for Pettitte declined to comment. 老派的律師則拒絕評論此事。 Much of what investigators wanted to know Pettitte had already told Congress. 事實上檢方想要知道的事情有很多都已經在老派於國會作證時被說出來了。 Word of his recent involvement in the case came as Yankees superstar third baseman Alex Rodriguez answered questions at spring training camp in Florida about his own past use of performance enhancers. 老派最近又因為類似的事情而上新聞，因為這一次是洋基的明星三壘手捲入禁藥的醜聞。 Pettitte, who was at the Rodriguez press conference, was asked later about his meeting with prosecutors. "I can't talk to you about that," Pettitte said. 老派出席了A-Rod的記者會，記者問他是否曾經和檢察官碰過面，他則回答說他不能談這件事情。 Around this time last year, Pettitte acknowledged that he might be questioned by the Justice Department. 在去年這個時候，老派承認他可能要接受聯邦司法部的質詢。 "I'm just prepared that it might happen," Pettitte said at the time. "There's nothing I can do. Until somebody tells me to go somewhere, I can't do anything." 「我只是預備著它可能會發生。」「我沒辦法多做什麼，直到某人告訴我要去哪裡做些什麼之前，我什麼都沒法做。」 It was unclear whether Pettitte has been called before a grand jury. Because Pettitte has already given a sworn statement, prosecutors do not necessarily have to use the grand jury to make their case. 目前還不清楚老派是否在大陪審團之前接到電話。因為老派已經為他的證詞發過誓，檢方也就沒有必要夠過大陪審團的機制去辦案。 Personal trainer Brian McNamee has told federal agents, baseball investigator George Mitchell and a House committee that he injected Clemens more than a dozen times with steroids and human growth hormone from 1998-2001. 私人訓練員Brian McNamee曾告訴過聯邦探員，特別調查員George Mitchell以及眾議院委員會都聽過他指證老火箭起碼用超過1打以上的類固醇及人類生長激素，時間是1998年到2001年之間。 Clemens denied it, testifying that he did not use performance-enhancers. "I have never taken steroids or HGH," the 354-game winner told a congressional committee a year ago. 而老客則否認，作證說他並沒有使用performance-enhancers。 Pettitte and another former Yankee, Chuck Knoblauch, both acknowledged to Congress that McNamee was correct when he said they used performance-enhancers. 老派和另一位前洋基球員，名星二壘手Chuck Knoblauch，兩個人都對國會承認 McNamee的證詞是正確的，也就是說他們兩個人都的確有使用performance-enhancers。 The he-said, he-said nature of the sworn testimony given to Congress by McNamee and Clemens prompted lawmakers to ask the Justice Department to investigate whether the former pitcher lied. 而這成將構成司法部調查老克是否說謊的重要關鍵。 The case was brought before a grand jury after an 11-month FBI investigation. Clemens last pitched in the major leagues for the New York Yankees in 2007. Pettitte signed a one-year, $5.5 million contract to pitch for the Yankees this year.
