Clemens: Injections Were Lidocaine, B-12
NEW YORK - Roger Clemens said former trainer Brian McNamee injected him with the painkiller lidocaine and the vitamin B-12 _ not any performance-enhancing drugs.

In the first excerpts released from the pitcher's interview with CBS's "60 Minutes," which is to be broadcast Sunday night, Clemens maintained the denials he has issued since McNamee implicated him in the Mitchell report on doping in baseball, which was released Dec. 13.

McNamee, a former strength coach for the Blue Jays and Yankees, told Mitchell he personally injected Clemens with steroids in 1998 while they were with Toronto, and with steroids and human growth hormone in 2000 and 2001 while with New York.

4. What reason would McNamee have to lie?...
He cooperated with Mitchell on the recommendation of federal officials, and would lose his immunity if he provided false information.
