Withdrawn by either party in court means they are taking the statement back. They are withdrawing it from the scrutiny of the Rules of Evidence.
On witness's statement to investigators - no. On the usability and admissability of them in court - yes.

The most common method of impeaching witness testimony is with a prior inconsistent statement. For example, if a bystander witness watches an accident, she will give a statement to a police officer at the scene. If she told the officer that the traffic light was red, but later testified that the light was green, her statement in the police report could be used to discredit, or impeach, her testimony.
The witness' statement innocently convicted the defendant.
