Does money leads to happiness? Of course, it doesn’t. But money possesses significant power. Although it can’t bring happiness, it can help to avoid jail in several cases. Let review the cases against Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. Someone has probably believed that these sportspersons will lose. But you should not forget that rich guys don’t lose. Since they have money, they have many chances to win.
Barry Bonds was charged with lying to a grand jury. He said under the oath that he had never applied any forbidden preparations. It seemed that Barry Bonds’ cheating became evident and he would be sentenced to jail. But don’t forget: this athlete has much money. Although he was convicted for obstruction of justice, he received just house arrest and community service. Furthermore, he appealed even this light sentencing.
Roger Clemens, another athlete, was accused of lying under oath as well. He claimed that he had never administered any prohibited medications. Ultimately, the sportsman was cleared of all charges. He didn’t lose too.
These cases demonstrate power of money. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have employed the wisest defense attorneys. Of course, you need much money in order to employ the best defense attorneys. Since Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have money, they could hire Albert Pujols, Allen Ruby or Rustin Hardy. Thus, it is naturally that federal prosecutors have lost under these circumstances.
Feds lost also in other situations. For example, let notice the case against the celebrated American cyclist Lance Armstrong. The government made the decision to drop the case because it would lose.
Although the government spent much money for these cases, it couldn’t win. Federal prosecutors had only minor results in the cases against Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
So, if you are a professional athlete, you may take anabolic steroids and/or other related remedies, if you have money. You should be rich enough to avoid prison. Otherwise, you will be discredited and punished harshly.
