Dr. Patrick Treacy's claims banned on US TV by Murray's lawyers

Defense lawyers  for Conrad Murray had the footage pulled as they fight manslaughter charges against him.

Dr. Patrick Treacy, director of Dublin's Ailesbury Clinic, said he was Michael's only doctor when he lived in Ireland in 2006 and 2007, and became friend with him. He also treated Michael shortly before June 25, 2009.

He claims Michael would never have self-administered the powerful sedative Propofol.

Dr. Treacy is on the list of potential witnesses for the trial of Murray for involuntary manslaughter.

Prosecutors claim Murray, 57, gave Michael the lethal dose of propofol and then attempted to cover it up.

Murray's lawyers say he's not guilty and Michael gave the drug to himself.

But Dr. Treacy, 54, rubbished this explanation in a now-banned TV show recorded two months ago for the Discovery Channel.

In it Treacy, who has been interviewed by US detectives about the case, says: “Any time Michael used propofol with us it was always in the presence of an anesthetist and he always requested that”.

“There was one time I had to go to Michael's house a few days before he was going to meet the Queen”.

“After one of his procedures he had hyper-sensitivity in this area around his nose and would require sedation, I couldn't get an anesthetist that night”.

Dr. Treacy offered an alternative which he could have administered without an anesthetist, but Michael wouldn't consider it.

The doctor said “There always had to be an anesthetist” adding that it would seem unusual for Michael to die from administering heavy doses of Propofol to himself”.
