Texas Gym Owner Denies Supplying Clemens With Steroids

Houston, TX (AHN) - A Texas gym owner says that FBI agents questioned him in late March about Roger Clemens and was asked if he got involved in giving performance-enhancing drugs to the player.

Kelly Blair, owner of 1-on-1 Elite Personal Fitness gym just outside Houston, said he met two FBI agents at his home as part of an ongoing investigation into the perjury case against Clemens.

Blair said the agents also questioned him on his possible involvement with several other baseball players in connection with performance-enhancing drugs, according to a report Thursday by the New York Times.

Blair has been reportedly linked to providing Andy Pettitte's father, Tom, with anabolic steroids. Tom Pettitte later acknowledged taking HGH in treating his health problems.

"The whole thing is they're trying to find someone who supplied Roger Clemens," Blair told the newspaper. "This has nothing to do with Andy Pettitte. They were questioning me about Roger. I've never met the dude. It was a waste of their time, basically."

Blair told investigators that he did not provide any performance-enhancing drugs to either Clemens or Tom Pettitte.

The FBI, in February, sent a letter of request to the Justice Department to look into possible perjury committed by the former New York Yankee pitcher.

Clemens has denied using performance-enhancing drugs while his former trainer Brian McNamee said that he injected Clemens with steroids and HGH growth hormones from 1998 up to 2001, according to the Mitchell Report.
