WASHINGTON — Roger Clemens' former personal trainer Brian McNamee was meeting Friday with federal prosecutors building a case against the seven-time Cy Young Award winner.

McNamee arrived at the U.S. Attorney's office accompanied by two lawyers. When asked by reporters if he wanted to comment, McNamee shook his head no.

He has told federal agents and baseball investigator George Mitchell he injected Clemens more than a dozen times with steroids and HGH from 1998-01.

McNamee's appearance comes a day after convicted steroids dealer Kirk Radomski appeared at the federal court house in Washington, where a grand jury is being asked to determine whether Clemens should be indicted on charges of lying to Congress.

A former New York Mets' clubhouse attendant, Radomski has admitted to selling speed, steroids and HGH to dozens of players from 1995 until Dec. 14, 2005. And it was Radomski who led federal investigators to McNamee.
