Steroid-using athletes remain undetectable

Recently Alan Abramson wrote an article where he noticed whether tests conducted by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) were efficacious.
The WADA conducts many tests for steroids and other related preparations every year. It seems that steroid users are caught. Someone may believe that the world of sports and professional bodybuilding will be soon cleansed from administration of banned drugs. For example, numerous tests for banned drugs have been conducted at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
But several questions appear here. Are these tests sophisticated enough to detect any sportsperson that dopes? Are these tests reliable?
Let meditate over results of some tests. In 2010 the WADA published statistics according which 258,267 samples were analyzed by 35 WADA-accredited labs. Out of these samples 4,820 results represented atypical findings. Circa 60 % of positives indicated about steroid use. Many positives were for cannibinoids. 10 % positives indicated about application of marijuana. As you see, just 60% out of those that took banned medications applied steroids. Is it real? Don’t demonstrate the results of the tests that the WADA doesn’t do the job properly?
The former president of the WADA Dick Pound believes that at least 10 % of sportspersons that competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics took steroids. He notes that those steroid users that are not clever are caught by anti-doping agencies. He also claims that a sportsperson who has been caught doping will fail an IQ test. He adds that just unwise athletes don’t avoid detection.
Thus, when you hear that the WADA has conducted many tests to make sports clean, consider whether these affirmations are true. Has the WADA ability to make competitions fair? Why does the WADA publicize about number of tests?
It seems that the WADA only wants to convince people that the job is done properly. The WADA desires to secure future funds. This is the reality.

Extended administration of anabolic steroids in sports and bodybuilding

There are debatable points of view about anabolic steroids. Consumers praise these drugs because they cause essential benefits. Experts conduct various studies, trying to define whether these preparations are safe for usage. Sports organizations ban intake of these medications because they have positive influence on performance. When it comes to governments of some countries, they have made purchases, application and sale of anabolic steroids illicit. Thus, those who are caught violating these laws may be enforced to pay a fine and/or go to jail.
You may find numerous articles that blame steroids for some crimes. Although there are many affirmations about these medications, the most of people don’t comprehend the essence of these products.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids are capable to increase muscle size and help to obtain essential strength. While anabolic properties of these medications induce creating new muscles, androgenic properties are responsible for development of male sex characteristics.
What induced development of these medications? It is known that there were numerous battles between different cultures since ancient time. Thus, different cultures tried to elaborate something that could help soldiers to become braver and have strength enough to win. They utilized rhinoceros horn, shark tooth and other certain extracts. Later testicles of animals started to be researched. It promoted introduction of anabolic steroids.
 The hormone androstenone was isolated from numerous other substances in 1930 for the first time by the expert Adolf Butenandt. Then other hormones were synthesized. By 1939 the hormone testosterone, a basis of current anabolic steroids, was synthesized.
1940s and 1950s were years of significant steroid development. Numerous researches were conducted in various countries in the whole world. Specialists studied impact of these products on performance of sportspeople and bodybuilders. Some doctors promoted application of steroids among professional sportspersons. One of them was John Ziegler. He administered Dianabol to Olympic athletes.
Steroids were also widely applied in the world of sports and bodybuilding in 1960s and in 1970. More than 50 % Olympic athletes took these products. Although new kinds of tests were introduced by anti-doping officials, it was impossible to combat using these drugs by athletes.
Today more sophisticated tests for steroids and other related medications have been introduced. Despites, these preparations are still widely administered in the world of sports and bodybuilding. Clever users know several ways to use steroids without getting caught.

Why are steroids used?

It is confirmed that the most of steroid users are professional athletes and high school students that go info sports. It seems to be true because anabolic steroids have ability to increase muscle mass and strength. These are effects that appreciated by athletes because they put efforts to win competitions. Moreover, you come across many articles that describe steroid scandals that occur in sports: in Major League Baseball, National Football League, Olympics, etc. You become convinced that steroids are such remedies which are mainly spread in sports. You also read many pieces of news that note about usage of performance-enhancing drugs by high school students that look at professional sportspeople and want to become so celebrated, as they are.
But the sportswriter Lena Butler affirms that the most part of steroid users are not athletes. The most of steroid users are bodybuilders who don’t take part in any competitions. Thus, non-competitive bodybuilders compose 80 % of steroid users. The most of them are over 25 years old. These are individuals that work as military professionals, officers of law enforcement, etc. So, these are individuals that have such jobs which require strength. These persons use steroids in order to increase their strength and do their jobs properly.
It is also interesting to mention that many individuals that have own business apply steroids. They have sufficient money to look attractively. Thus, they take steroids in order to improve physique and to reverse aging process.
As for high school students that go info sports, they use steroids because they desire to have success in sports. These persons want to win competitions, become famous and get millions of dollars. Steroid-using prominent athletes have great impact on the decision of high school students to administer steroids. Actually, it is unsafe. Health of high school students may be affected because of steroids obviously. Unluckily, this class of steroid users doesn’t want to change their attitudes to steroids. Although they are informed about dangers of steroids for young consumers, they continue to apply steroids. The number of high school students that use these preparations rises. If some years ago 1% of high school students took steroids, today the number is doubled.
However there is a tendency to condemn steroids, it is necessary to remember that these medicines are used not only for increase of performance. They are useful for medical needs. Doctors prescribe these medicines for patients that suffer from different health disorders. These preparations are prescribed for individuals with cancer. HIV/AIDS- individuals administer steroids in order to prevent muscle wasting. These medicines efficaciously treat other conditions too.

Typical adverse reactions of steroids

Nobody can contest benefits that are produced by application of steroids. Consumers of these medications get strength and enhance their muscle mass. As a result, those that compete in sports win awards. But there is  a negative piece of news here. Anabolic steroids, like any other preparations, can cause side results. Functions and even structure of several organs may be destroyed because of steroid use.
That’s why before administering anabolic steroids it is important to know about every probable side effect that may appear because of these drugs. It is a good idea to learn information about these medications before you make a final decision to take them. You should know that certain negative effects of these preparations may be even permanent.
It is also important to know instructions connected with administration of steroids and follow them. Improper application may lead to life-threatening adverse results.
There are also recommendations which teach how you can lower risks connected with certain unwanted results or reduce their severity. Those who have suitable workouts during application of steroids, administer correct quantities, have proper diets and apply certain ancillary preparations for reduction of negative results will not suffer from grave health problems.
Dangerous  negative effects ordinarily trouble those that apply increased quantities and don’t follow other important instructions.
However it is claimed that soon steroid use will become safe, you may see that this time has not come yet. That’s why you should know about all probable dangers in order to avoid some troubles or at least to lower severity.
The most typical problems linked with application of steroids are written below:
- liver problems;
- kidney troubles;
- skin troubles;
- cardiovascular diseases;
- psychological problems;
- problems linked with reproductive system.
Why may be liver affected by steroids? Let notice. Toxins are contained in steroids. The body tries to get rid of them. Liver takes part in this process actively.  So, its functions may be destructed because of the toxins contained in steroids. Cysts and tumors may be developed. It is true also about kidneys that also play great role in excretion of toxins. It is known that toxins may be also excreted through skin. That’s why  usual side reactions of steroids include acne vulgaris, oily skin and other related problems.
Steroids may also increase cholesterol levels; thus, arteries around the heart are blocked; blood clots appear. The heart becomes unable to circulate the blood through the body appropriately. Hypertension may also trouble steroid users. Even heart attacks may be caused by steroids.
Psychological health may be destructed by steroids too. Those that administer these remedies may become aggressive; they may experience unusual changes in mood and depression. Other mental problems may appear too.
When it comes to reproductive system, it may be affected too. Male users of steroids may suffer from shrunken testicles, changes in size of prostate, abnormal development of breast tissue, infertility, etc. Female users of steroids may face such problems, as changes in size of clitoris, excessive hair growth on body, menstrual problems, etc.
Unluckily, steroids can have negative impact on other systems as well. Only the most typical unwanted consequences are mentioned in the article.

New drugs for improvement of men’s health

Certain diseases occur in numerous persons and destroy good life. One of such problems is erectile problems. This condition occurs in 50% of males that are over 40 years old. Undoubtedly, this is an unpleasant condition that may destroy relationships between partners. Men try to get rid of this trouble. There are several preparations which are recommended to cure erectile dysfunctions. Viagra, Levitra and Cialis are considered to be the best remedies for this purpose.
Some pharmaceutical companies understand that the products which are indicated for treatment of erectile dysfunctions are in a high demand. They receive 500-600 million dollars for the medications that are recommended in case of this disorder in males. So, pharmaceutical companies see that they may get even greater profits, if they elaborate new efficacious drugs for this need. Undoubtedly, scientists put efforts to do it.
Lately some new medications for treatment of erectile problems have been developed. But they must get approval of the FDA before they may be bought and administered legally. These drugs are following: Avanafil, Zoraxel, Zydena (Udenafil) and Bremenalotide.
Let present essential information about each of these preparations.
The pharmaceutical company Vivus has made the preparation Avanafil. Some studies have shown that benefits of this medication are felt just 15 minutes after it has been used. But the FDA has not yet approved this medicine. Thus, it is required to wait till its safety will be proven.
The pharmaceutical company Rexahn Pharmaceuticals has created the medicine Zoraxel. It influences on the brain, treating erectile problems. It is stated that this medicine will get the FDA’s approval by 2013.
The product Zydena has been developed by the Korean pharmaceutical company by Dong-A Pharmaceuticals. Some studies have shown that this is an efficacious medication that has ability to treat erectile problems. While Malaysians and Russians may utilize it, Americans don’t have access to this product because it has not been yet approved by the US FDA. It is claimed that Zydena works more quickly than Viagra.
The medicine Bremelanotide has been created by the pharmaceutical company Palatin Technologies. This drug has certain priorities over others. It is utilizable for both men and women that experience sexual disorders. Moreover, it has ability to increase sexual arousal and desire, influencing on central nervous system.
These are new medications which will be indicated to treat erectile problems. We may hope that they will be able to improve quality of men’s health.

Teenagers should be warned about influence of steroids on brain

If you belong to those that read news about steroids, you may confirm that almost every article notices about “roid rage” that is claimed to be one of the most dangerous undesirable consequences of these medicines. Anabolic steroids are demonized for several violations, murders and other crimes. It is said that these drugs may lead to uncontrolled aggression that is responsible for abnormal behavior. Although it is not proven scientifically whether steroids can really cause “roid rage”, media reports about this negative effect too frequently. Unluckily, some other grave adverse results are rarely mentioned in articles.
Teenagers must be especially informed about certain specific adverse effects which may appear in them, if they use steroids in their teen years. The professors Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark of the Giesel School of Medicine in Dartmouth affirm that these products may have very negative influence on teenagers’ brains. These scientists have conducted certain researches and made conclusions, basing on the results of their researches. These experts claim that steroids may cause in teenagers something more dangerous than uncontrolled aggression.
According to Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark, steroids are very dangerous for teenagers because this group of users may face some specific serious undesirable consequences that don’t trouble adult steroid users. The experts claim that steroids may affect the brain in adolescents. Thus, the brain’s structure and functions may be destroyed in adolescents because of steroids. Moreover, these undesirable consequences may be irreversible. It means that brain’s dysfunctions that are manifested through uncontrolled behavior may present even when the teenagers grow up. Thus, negative psychological effects can be manifested even in their adulthood.
But it is important to note that the studies conducted by Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark have enrolled animals. So, these affirmations are made on the basis of animals’ reactions to steroid use. One may doubt whether effects of steroids on adolescents’ brains are the same as those on animals. Nevertheless, Leslie Henderson is sure that these statements are true for humans too.
Moreover, it has been determined that adverse reactions of steroids on adolescents are more lasting than those which trouble adult consumers of steroids.
Leslie Henderson works together with such experts, as Marie Onakomaiya, Donna Porter and Joseph Oberlander.
Leslie Henderson claims that it is obvious that steroids affect adolescents’ behavior. As we know, the brain controls behavior. Since behavior is abnormal, the brain’s structure and functions have certain disorders.
So, it is necessary to teach teenagers about all probable dangers linked with administration of steroids. If they know about these probable unwanted results, they will be able to make a right decision connected with steroids.

Should steroid users be in Baseball Hall of Fame?

What do retired baseball players claim about intake of steroids? This is the question which is frequently asked by reporters and widely discussed by media. Different individuals have various opinions about this issue.
Recently several retired players of the Major League Baseball were interviewed by some reporters who tried to learn opinions of the retired players about the steroid era in baseball. Should consumers of steroids be in the Hall of Fame?
Reggie Jackson, Goose Gossage, Dave Henderson, Curt Schillling, Mike Piazza, George Brett and Morgan Ensberg don’t desire to see steroid users in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Later Wade Boggs was interviewed too. This athlete played professional baseball for 18 years. He was asked whether steroid users could be allowed to be elected for the Hall of Fame. The former baseball player noted that consumers of steroids should not be chosen for the Hall Of Fame. According to his point of view, it is not the best message for American youth. No one should be allowed to be in the Hall of Fame and affirm that he is one of the most successful players because he has administered anabolic steroids. This is the bad message for the youth around world.
As for the case related to Roger Clemens, Boggs said nothing negative about him.
Clemens was accused of lying before the Congress about administration of steroids and HGH. He was charged with obstruction of Congress, perjury and false statements. But recently the jury acquitted him. The decision of the jury dismissed the opinion that Roger Clemens had success due to application of forbidden medicines.
While Wade Boggs refused to say anything unpleasant about Roger Clemens, he pronounced some harsh words about pitchers that take steroids and take unfair advantages.

Patrick Mendes and Joshua Gilbert were sentenced to suspensions

Patrick Mendes and Joshua Gilbert, top Olympic weightlifters, were banned from “Average Broz’s Gymnasium” (Las Vegas, Nevada). They tested positive for forbidden preparations. Steroids were not the preparations taken by these weightlifters. They took non-steroidal medicines which are also prohibited under Code of the WADA.
Mendes tested positive for banned products in February 2012 before the United States Olympic Team Trials for Weightlifting determined who would represent the US at the 2012 Summer Olympics. The sportsman tested for HGH; as a result, he was suspended.
Joshua Gilbert tested positive for the diuretic medication furosemide at the 2012 National Weightlifting Championships. It was in March 2012.
Furosemide is a preparation which is applied by those who apply steroids in order to hide steroid use. Moreover, this drug helps sportspersons to lose weight in order to meet criteria of certain weight classes.  Weightlifting, boxing and wrestling are sports where athletes are divided to certain weight categories.
HGH and furosemide are products which are banned by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF). The anti-doping system of the IWF meets criteria of the WADA Code.
The weightlifters Mendes and Gilbert were coached by John Broz. Broz lived and trained with the celebrated Bulgarian weightlifter Antonio Krastev during his career. Krastev broke a world record snatch of 216 kg in 1987. John Broz learned the Bulgarian system of trainings and brought some methods to America. He founded own training facilities in Las Vegas.
Mendes went to 2-year suspension. As for Gilbert, he was sentenced to 3-year suspension.
The bans of these athletes are failure for “Average Broz’s Gym”. So, the greatest weightlifters were not allowed to represent their native country at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

UKAD could ultimately catch boxer Larry Olubamiwo

The boxer Larry “War Machine” Olubamiwo used some anabolic steroids, HGH, IGF-1 and other related drugs during 6 years. Although several tests have been conducted earlier, he was caught just in January 2012. After a fight against Sam Sexton Larry Olubamiwo tested positive for forbidden products. Metabolites of steroids were not found in his sample. The athlete tested positive for EPO. EPO is a blood boosting medication.
Prolonged application of prohibited drugs by Olubamiwo was a real embarrassment for the United Kingdom Anti-Doping. Andy Parkinson, the CEO of the UKAD, tried to prove that the ban of Olubamiwo for usage of 13 various banned products is a real success of the UKAD in the struggle against doping.  
Andy Parkinson noted that it was an unusual case. The boxer administered steroids and other related drugs for prolonged time without fear to destroy his health, career and reputation. He was sentenced to 4-year suspension.
But the alarming aspect is following: Olumamiwo could avoid detection for long time, despites essential efforts of anti-doping officers to “clean” sports from intake of doping medications.
Olubamiwo was caught only because the UKAD was informed by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that he was implicated in an investigation linked with illicit sale of anabolic steroids and other doping drugs in the US. Then the UKAD conducted a test that resulted in positive results for EPO.
Robert Smith, the General Secretary for the British Boxing Board of Control, supported the statements of Andy Parkinson about efforts and success of anti-doping agencies. He noticed that the case manifested that cheating couldn’t be hidden.
What is your point of view about the case? Do positives for EPO and the suspension of Olubamiwo demonstrate that anti-doping agencies succeed? Or does the case demonstrate that anti-doping system is not appropriate?
Everyone may make own conclusion. But it is clear that the boxer could administer different forbidden products for six years without being detected by anti-doping officers.

Linda McMahon’s opponents: former CEO of WWE promoted steroid use

Linda McMahon puts incredible efforts to demonstrate that she is a politician that deserves to be trusted. She tried to escape from steroid scandals which have destroyed the reputation of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) throughout numerous years. Undoubtedly, her opponents ever utilized opportunities to notice about great problems associated with usage of steroids in the WWE.
It is ever noted that Linda McMahon is the former President and CEO of the WWE. The WWE was established by her and her husband Vince McMahon in 1990. Almost 60% of the traded stock of the WWE belongs to them. They got great profits due to the WWE Empire. One billion dollars was got by the McMahons due to the business connected with the WWE. Mrs. McMahon ended her tenure of the WWE in 2009 and started her political career. She joined the Republican Party seeking a Senatorial Seat for the State of Connecticut.  Linda McMahon spent approximately 50 million dollars on the campaign. But it was unsuccessful. She lost to the Democratic Party. Nowadays Linda McMahan is seeking the Republican nomination in order to be elected instead of Joe Lieberman, another retiring Senator for Connecticut’s State.
Since Linda McMahon got involved in politics, many persons started criticizing her for steroid scandals that took place in the WWE.
 A newspaper affirms that Linda McMahon loves to mention that she has created certain jobs but she doesn’t answers questions about the jobs. An article confirms that the CEO of the WWE ridicules dim-witted men that humble women and promotes steroid use.
The WWE responded quickly to these affirmations. The Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications for WWE Brian Flinn has affirmed that the WWE cares about health of wrestlers and random drug testing demonstrates that the WWE is against intake of steroids. At least 4 random tests are conducted per year for each wrestler. Those that test positive for prohibited medications are suspended. Thus, the WWE prohibits administration of steroids. Moreover, Brian Flinn has noted that the WWE has one of the best wellness systems in sports and entertainment.

Victor Conte: athletes continue to use steroids as they have taken them earlier

Recently Victor Conte, the founder of BALCO, shared his thoughts about testing program of anti-doping agencies and the current state of doping among athletes.
Victor Conte has confirmed that it is unlikely that the 2012 London Olympics would be free from application of steroids and other prohibited medications. The founder of BALCO claimed in an interview that Olympic anti-doping testing program had different flaws. Thus, steroid users were also chosen to take part in the Olympic Games.
Conte doesn’t believe that application of forbidden drugs has decreased. He doesn’t agree with individuals who state that reduced performance in different sports is a proof that steroids and other banned drugs are almost excluded from sports.
Victor Conte claims that steroids are widely administered now too. Efforts of anti-doping agencies promoted adoption of athletes. So, athletes don’t administer as increased doses as have been utilized before.  Nonetheless, usage of steroids and other prohibited medicines remains to be a concern.
Victor Conte is sure that athletes don’t administer such designer steroids, as THG. Instead of using such drugs, sportspersons take the steroid testosterone that is believed to be the grandfather of all steroids.  Victor Conte adds that since testosterone is fast-acting and it is getable in form of creams, gels, patches and injections, it is widely applied by sportspersons. Moreover, not too high doses of testosterone are required in order to obtain great effects. This steroid is widespread among Major League Baseball players.
Conte criticizes anti-doping policy. He notices that anti-doping agencies have evident ambiguities. Even a truck may go through loopholes that are in doping laws, according to the founder of BALCO.

Rano Izhar provided recommendations linked with steroid use

Journalists are used to exaggerate any situation linked with steroids in sports and bodybuilding. Many facts are described in misleading ways. Thus, steroid scandals appear without any basis. A case is presented below.
Rano Izhar, the president of the Singapore Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (SBFF), has acknowledged that he shared instructions linked with application of anabolic steroids.
Any person who belongs to the world of bodybuilding knows that steroids, HGH and some other related medications are widely spread and taken by bodybuilders. Several news websites have written many articles, treating the actions of the SBFF president as a steroid scandal. But be reasonable! He has not distributed anabolic steroids, he has just disseminated information.
“The New Paper”, a Singapore’s English-language newspaper, acquired emails between a bodybuilder and the president of the SBFF which were written before Rano Izhar was chosen to be the president. Izhar provided guidelines connected with steroids cycles to the bodybuilder. The cycles were composed of 14 different medications, including such steroids, as Anadrol 50, Dianabol, Primobolan Depot, etc. Clomid was also included in the cycles.
Izhar confirmed that the instructions were only for his friend who was an amateur bodybuilder. Furthermore, he was not the president of the SBFF, when he provided the guidelines.
Izhar’s friend planned to use steroids. It was his friend’s decision. Izhar didn’t promote it. He just desired to help his friend. He wished he took steroids in the safest way.
Izhar admitted that he had provided instructions related to steroid cycles. He claimed that he needed to tell his friend which preparations were efficient and which medications didn’t work well. Izhar added that when someone asked him about ways to take steroids, it meant that they would apply them, regardless of the answer. So, the president just felt that he had to note at least the most important things which should be known about steroids.
Izhar has obtained the degree of Doctor in “lifestyle medicine” at the Harvard Medical School. He felt that he had to do anything he could for harm reduction for those who apply steroids and other related medications.

US’ war on steroids

Anybody must have seen that the US put efforts to bust international companies that advertise steroids on internet and ship them to customers around the world.
Recently the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has collaborated with Polish law enforcement officers in order to catch individuals that have been suspected in shipment of steroids and other bodybuilding products to various countries of the world.
This investigation began approximately one year ago. The polish Border Guard Straz Graniczna intercepted large doses of steroids that were sent to customers in the US and Canada. Steroids in form of injections and pills were confiscated at the Warsaw mail terminal.
Straz Graniczna collaborated with US DEA. Finally two persons from Poland were arrested. One of them was arrested, after he left the post office. More than 7, 000 steroid pills and 19, 000 steroid vials and 47, 000 Polish zloty or more than 14, 000 US dollars were found in this person’s car. But it was only the beginning of seizures.
It was learnt that an apartment located in Warsaw was a base of the underground lab that manufactured steroids that are usually used by American bodybuilders. When police officers raided the apartment, they discovered drug paraphernalia there. The apartment was used not only for manufacture of steroids but also for keeping of ready steroids. About 666, 000 steroid pills, 19, 000 vials of steroids and over 5, 000 steroid ampoules were seized during the search. The products were estimated. The price was claimed to be 6 million Polish zloty that are equal to 1, 8 million US dollars.
It is suggested that the US will ask Polish authorities to extradite these two individuals.
The USA is aggressive, when it comes to war on steroids. Multinational steroid empires are busted.
But the US doesn’t have essential success working with Europe and Asia. The US presses other countries to detain and extradite distributors of steroids.
Distributors of steroids who were related to British Dragon and Musclebear were arrested and extradited to the US from Thailand and Cyprus.
The US pressed Austria to arrest Mihael Karner, the leader of an international drug company. He was arrested. Then the USA pressed Austrian authorities to extradite this person to the US. But feds didn’t succeed that time. Karner paid one million Euros to Austrian authorities to avoid the extradition and arrive to his home country Slovenia.

Who served as jurors at case against Roger Clemens?

Names of twelve persons (four men and eight women) that acted as jury at the governmental case against the athlete Roger Clemens were released by the judge Reggie Walton.
The government wanted the jury to be convinced that the baseball player had lied before the Congress about administration of steroids and HGH. But since the jury acquitted Roger Clemens, the government criticized the individuals who composed the jury. Several individuals who acted as the jury were interviewed.
A political activist, an art historian, a teacher of deaf children, an official of Treasury Department and an employee of the Canadian Embassy composed the jury.
Joyce Robinson-Paul, a political activist, was interviewed by the New York Daily News some days after the verdict. She claimed that the jurors knew that they had to be fair to both the federal prosecutors and the sportsman. But they didn’t find anything that had to be pursued.  Later she also claimed that the  federal prosecutors were not able to prove their accusations.
The employee of the Canadian Embassy Bradford Weaver claimed that the government was wrong. He noticed that such cases should not occur again. He also claimed that there was nothing to be prosecuted. He was interviewed by the Associated Press. Bradford Weaver also affirmed that every juror understood from the very beginning that Clemens was not guilty of any charge. Bradford Weaver reminded that each juror was unanimous.
Bradford Weaver was also asked whether he considered that Roger Clemens really applied steroids. The Associated Press also asked him whether he believed that the governmental case against the athlete represented just the waste of taxpayers’ funds. But the employee of the Canadian Embassy didn’t answer the questions.
Another juror that chose not to be identified confirmed that the jurors were wondering how the government made the decision to waste significant sums of money during five years in order to pursue the baseball player. This person claimed that it was impossible to understand why the prosecution lasted for five years.
Other jurors didn’t present any information.
As for federal prosecutors, they seemed to be totally disappointed. They declined to respond to the statements presented by the jurors.
