Clemens’ defamation suit to continue in New YorkUS District Judge Keith P. Ellison dismissed the rest of Clemens’ case last August 28, 2009. This means that the case has been dismissed in Texas and Clemens could not refile in the said state. This leaves the case to be continued in New York.

Last January 2008, Roger Clemens sued his former personal trainer Brian McNamee after the trainer made a statement in the Mitchell report that he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone for not less than 16 times in 1998, 2000 and 2001.

Not only did McNamee made the statement once but he also repeated it to Sports Illustrated’s website.  According to Clemens, the statements were untrue and defamatory.

McNamee responded by filing a case against Clemens for defamation on July 31, 2009. The case was filed in a federal court in Brooklyn, New York.

According to McNamee, Clemens issued an intense public relations offensive by refusing McNamee’s allegations in a nationally televised news conference in “60 minutes”.

In their legal battle in Brooklyn, Clemens is on defense side. Richard Emery, McNamee’s lawyer thinks that they have an advantage now that the case was moved to New York.
