<!-- content body begin--> Patrick Graham, the team's chiropractor, told the paper he worked on Clemens daily in his two seasons with the Blue Jays and believes the veteran's assertion that he never took steroids - at least when he was in Toronto.
"I didn't notice any rashes, acne or increased muscle mass or structure," he said.
"I think I would have seen signs of it," adding he always thought Clemens's success in Toronto was due to his then newly developed "split-fingered fastball."
Clemens, along with Barry Bonds and Canadian Eric Gagne, were the predominant names mentioned in the Mitchell report released last month, linking more than 80 major league players to steroid use.
Clemens's former trainer, Brian McNamee, told former U.S. Senate majority leader George Mitchell that he injected the star pitcher with steroids and human growth hormone while they were in Toronto in 1998, and in 2000 and 2001 when the two were with the New York Yankees.
Clemens, 45, denies using steroids, and filed a defamation lawsuit Sunday against McNamee.
But McNamee's lawyer said his client stands by the information he gave Mitchell.
Graham said he saw Clemens for treatments even after the pitcher left the Jays organization and he didn't notice any body changes.
"I haven't seen him for two years, but I just don't think he was on steroids," said Graham.
