Bud Selig Defends MLB Steroid Testing; Stays Out of Bonds, Clemens Trials

Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig said Tuesday he does not expect to be called as a witness in either Barry Bonds' or Roger Clemens' pending federal perjury trials.

Selig, appearing as a guest on Dan Patrick's radio/television talk show, said he was "saddened" by the indictments against Clemens and Bonds, but added that the two former players' cases aren't matters for baseball.

"Those are cases between those people and the government and really have nothing to do with baseball, per se," said Selig.

Clemens, who was indicted Monday in Washington, faces charges that he lied to Congress in testimony about his alleged use of steroids, while Bonds is accused of lying to a federal grand jury, also about performance-enhancing drug usage. Both are scheduled to be tried early next year. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
