WASHINGTON -- New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte spoke under oath for about 2 1/2 hours Monday with lawyers from a congressional committee looking into drug use in baseball.
After the deposition, Pettitte did not take questions from reporters as he walked out of the offices of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Wearing a pinstriped gray suit and bright striped tie, Pettitte was accompanied by his wife and three lawyers.
His interview is part of preparation for a Feb. 13 public hearing expected to focus on Roger Clemens' denials of allegations about his use of performance enhancers made in the Mitchell Report by former personal trainer Brian McNamee.
Clemens is scheduled to give a deposition to committee lawyers Tuesday, followed by McNamee on Thursday.
