WASHINGTON (AP) — A partially unsealed motion shows that prosecutors in the Roger Clemens case sought to keep out allegations made against the government’s key witness by his ex-wife.

In the motion, prosecutors urge the judge to prevent former star pitcher from using the damaging information concerning the witness, Brian McNamee.

The government had originally filed the motion under seal last month, arguing its contents subject potential jurors to prejudicial information about McNamee.

The judge in the case has not yet ruled on the government’s motion to keep the information out.

Clemens is accused of lying to Congress when he said he never used performance-enhancing drugs. McNamee, Clemens’ former strength coach, says he injected Clemens with such steroids and human growth hormone multiple times.
