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. 联邦检察官已经和老派面谈过，因为他们想要调查老派的前队友，Roger Clemens， 是否有在他使用performance-enhancing drugs的事情上对国会说谎。 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. 两位接近此案调查的人士在星期二告诉美联社说老派上个星期曾经在华府和检方会面。 不过两位昵名人士表示他们未被授权对侦查尚在进行中的事情发表评论。 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. 同一个礼拜，检方和老派进行谈话，检方同时掌握了一则来自太色人星星级游击手 Miguel Tejada 有罪的证词，也就是他也在大联盟类固醇事件中对国会说谎。 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. 对火箭人来说，老派则很有可能变成一位证明他有无说谎的关键证人，因为他们两个 曾经有两年的时间是在一起训练的。老派过去已经承认他有使用人类生长激素、并且 告诉国会调查委员们老克曾经说过他大约在10年前有使用过HGHs。 Prosecutors are weighing whether to bring perjury charges against Clemens for denying under oath to Congress that he took performance-enhancing substances. 检察官将会衡量是否要对Clemens在作伪证的行为提出控诉。 老克在国会殿堂上曾对他的证词发誓说他没有使用人类生长激素。 Lawyers for Pettitte declined to comment. 老派的律师则拒绝评论此事。 Much of what investigators wanted to know Pettitte had already told Congress. 事实上检方想要知道的事情有很多都已经在老派於国会作证时被说出来了。 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. 老派最近又因为类似的事情而上新闻，因为这一次是洋基的明星三垒手卷入禁药的 丑闻。 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的记者会，记者问他是否曾经和检察官碰过面，他则回答说 他不能谈这件事情。 Around this time last year, Pettitte acknowledged that he might be questioned by the Justice Department. 在去年这个时候，老派承认他可能要接受联邦司法部的质询。 "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." 「我只是预备着它可能会发生。」 「我没办法多做什麽，直到某人告诉我要去哪里做些什麽之前，我什麽都没法做。」 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. 目前还不清楚老派是否在大陪审团之前接到电话。 因为老派已经为他的证词发过誓，检方也就没有必要够过大陪审团的机制去办案。 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. 私人训练员Brian McNamee曾告诉过联邦探员，特别调查员George Mitchell以及 众议院委员会都听过他指证老火箭起码用超过1打以上的类固醇及人类生长激素， 时间是1998年到2001年之间。 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. 而老客则否认，作证说他并没有使用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员，名星二垒手Chuck Knoblauch，两个人都对国会承认 McNamee的证词是正确的，也就是说他们两个人都的确有使用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. 而这成将构成司法部调查老克是否说谎的重要关键。 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.
