A JUDGE MAKES A RULING IN THE CASE!A federal judge ruled Roger Clemens can keep his lawyer in the defamation lawsuit against his former trainer, who accused the pitcher of using performance-enhancing drugs.
Lawyers for Clemens' former trainer, Brian McNamee, filed a motion for attorney Rusty Hardin to be removed from the case because Hardin represented both Clemens and pitcher Andy Pettitte
for several days before the release of the Mitchell Report.
Pettitte later admitted using human growth hormone. He also told congressional lawyers that Clemens informed him nearly a decade ago he had used HGH.
U.S. District Judge Keith P. Ellison ruled Tuesday that since McNamee is not a former client of Hardin, he has no standing to ask for his disqualification.
