Bruce Goldberger: Anti-doping agencies use inadequate ways to prove that certain athletes doped

Testimonies of the well-known toxicologist Bruce Goldberger will probably influence essentially on decision of the court in the case against Roger Clemens. Bruce Goldberger is the Professor of Pathology and Director of Toxicology at the University of Florida College of Medicine. This expert testified on behalf of Roger Clemens. Although he was invited in order to replace Don Catlin, the director of the WADA UCLA Medicine, Goldberger’s testimonies differed from those that are commonly presented by anti-doping organizations. This toxicologist testified on behalf of the accused sportsperson.
Bruce Goldberger has gained his celebrity due to his appearing on different news programs. Even during such programs he doesn’t refrain from critical words. He criticized some anti-doping organizations, including the WADA.
Bruce Goldberger criticized feds in the case linked with Roger Clemens. They based on “beer can evidence” presented by McNamee to prove that Roger Clemens utilized steroids and HGH. Brian McNamee, the former personal trainer of Roger Clemens, presented a beer can with used needles and syringes that had traces of such steroids, as Sustanon, Primobolan Depot and Deca Durabolin and were mixed allegedly with Roger Clemens’ blood. The beer can was stored by McNamee more than 6 years. The toxicologist noted that such basis was not reasonable.
Goldberger confirmed that it was impossible to base on “beer can evidence”. He added that no one could prove that Roger Clemens used steroids and HGH, basing on the beer can, because the theory of contamination could present.
Thus, Goldberger didn’t support the affirmations of the feds. Earlier the toxicologist also expressed criticism related to evidence used by certain anti-doping agencies.
Several years ago the toxicologist Bruce Goldberger testified on behalf of Floyd Landis, an American celebrated cyclist, when this sportsman appealed positives for steroids. A WADA-accredited lab situated in France found traces of exogenous testosterone; T: E ratio and carbon isotope ratio tests were used by the lab. Bruce Goldberger pronounced similar words and criticism during the appeal related to Floyd Landis.
Bruce Goldberger confirmed during an interview that the WADA utilized inadequate ways and violated rights of sportspeople in order to have the success in anti-doping programs.
Floyd Landis didn’t have success in his appeal and acknowledged that he had applied steroids, EPO and certain other related medications.
Nobody knows which results will be achieved by Roger Clemens. Will the government prove that he has lied before the Congress? Will he admit to taking prohibited drugs? Or will be the results contrary?
