McNamee asks for Clemens suit to be dismissed

Lawyers for Brian McNamee asked a federal court to dismiss Roger Clemens' defamation lawsuit or move the case to New York.

Clemens, a seven-time Cy Young Award winner, sued McNamee in January after his former trainer accused him in the Mitchell Report of using steroids and human growth hormone. The case, originally filed in Texas state court, was moved to the U.S. District Court in Houston.

McNamee's lawyers say in a motion filed in U.S. District Court that New York has the most interest in this lawsuit.
