Steroid users remain undetectable

Recently Alan Abramson published an article where he discussed whether tests conducted by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) were reliable.
The WADA conducts more and more tests for steroids and other related medicines each year. It seems that those that apply steroids and/other related medicines are caught. You may believe that the world of sports and professional bodybuilding will be soon cleansed from administration of forbidden products. For example, very many tests for forbidden preparations have been conducted at the 2012 London Olympics.
But some questions appear here. Are these tests sophisticated enough to detect any person who dopes? Are these tests reliable?
Let meditate over results of some tests. In 2010 the WADA publicized statistics according which 258,267 samples were analyzed by 35 WADA-accredited labs. Out of these samples 4,820 results were atypical findings. About 60 % of positives indicated about usage of steroids. Many positives were for cannibinoids. 10 % positives indicated about usage of marijuana. As you observe, only 60% out of those that administered banned drugs applied steroids. Is it real? Don’t manifest the results of the tests that the WADA doesn’t do the job properly?
Dick Pound, the former president of the WADA, believes that at least 10 % of sportspersons that competed at the 2012 London Olympics used steroids. He confirms that those steroid users that are not clever are caught by anti-doping agencies. He also notes that a sportsperson who has been caught using forbidden drugs will fail an IQ test. He concludes that only unwise athletes don’t avoid detection.
Thus, when you read that the WADA has conducted numerous tests to make sports clean, think whether these affirmations are true. Is able the WADA to make competitions fair? Why does the WADA publicize about number of tests?
It seems that the WADA just wants to convince people that the job is done appropriately. The WADA put efforts to secure future funds. It is the reality.

Extended usage of steroids

There are controversial points of view about anabolic steroids. Consumers praise these products because they cause essential positive effects. Specialists conduct different researches, trying to define whether these medicines are safe for usage. Sports organizations ban usage of these preparations because they have significant impact on performance. When it comes to governments of several countries, they have made buying, intake and sale of anabolic steroids illegal. So, those that are caught violating these laws may be enforced to pay a fine and/or go to prison.
You may come across many articles that demonize steroids for some crimes. However there are a lot of affirmations about these medications, the most of people don’t comprehend the essence of these drugs.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids can increase muscle size and help to acquire essential strength. While anabolic properties of these medications promote building new muscles, androgenic features are responsible for development of male sex characteristics.
What promoted elaboration of these medicines? It is known that there were a lot of battles between different cultures since ancient time. So, various cultures tried to elaborate something which could help soldiers to be brave and have strength enough to win. They administered rhinoceros horn, shark tooth and other some extracts. Later testicles of animals began to be studied. It promoted introduction of anabolic steroids.
 The hormone androstenone was isolated from several other compounds in 1930 for the first time by the specialist 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 essential steroid development. Many studies were conducted in various countries in the whole world. Scientists studied impact of these drugs on performance of sportspersons and bodybuilders. Several physicians promoted administration of steroids among professional sportspeople. John Ziegler was one of such doctors. He administered the steroid Dianabol to Olympic athletes.
Steroids were also widely applied in sports and bodybuilding in 1960s and in 1970. Over 50 % Olympic athletes applied these products. Although new kinds of tests were introduced by anti-doping officials, it was impossible to combat using these products by athletes.
Today more sophisticated tests for steroids and other related products have been introduced. Nonetheless, these medications are still widely administered in the world of sports and bodybuilding. Clever users know several methods to apply steroids without being detected.

Who administers steroids?

It is affirmed that the most of steroid users are professional athletes and high school students who go info sports. It seems to be true because anabolic steroids are able to promote increasing muscle mass and strength. These are effects that are valuable for sportspersons because they try to win competitions. Moreover, you read many articles which describe steroid scandals that occur in sports: in Major League Baseball, National Football League, Olympics, etc. You become convinced that steroids are such products which are chiefly spread in sports. You also read many pieces of news which notice about administration of performance-enhancing drugs by high school students that look at professional sportspersons and want to become so prominent, as they are.
But the sportswriter Lena Butler claims that the most part of steroid users are not sportspersons. The most of steroid users are bodybuilders that 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 who work as military professionals, officers of law enforcement, etc. So, these are those who have such jobs that require strength. These persons administer steroids for increase of their strength and do their jobs appropriately.
It is also interesting to mention that many individuals that have own business apply steroids. They have sufficient money to look attractively. So, they use steroids in order to improve physique and to reverse aging process.
When it comes to high school students who are involved in sports, they take steroids because they desire to have success in sports. These individuals desire to win competitions, become well-known and earn millions of dollars. Steroid-using prominent athletes have significant impact on the decision of high school students to administer steroids. In fact, it is dangerous. Health of high school students may be destructed because of steroids essentially. Unfortunately, this class of steroid users doesn’t desire to alter their attitudes to steroids. However they are informed about risks related to steroids for young users, they continue to use steroids. The number of high school students who use these medications rises. If some years ago 1% of high school students used steroids, nowadays the number is doubled.
Although there is a tendency to demonize steroids, it is important to keep in mind that these medicines are applied not only for enhancement of performance. They are useful for medical needs. Health care providers prescribe these preparations for persons that experience different health disorders. These medicines are prescribed for persons with cancer. HIV/AIDS- individuals administer steroids in order to combat muscle wasting. These products efficiently cure other conditions too.

Usual negative results related to steroid use

Nobody can contest positive effects which are produced by administration of steroids. Consumers of these products get strength and enhance their muscle mass. As a result, those that participate in competitions win medals. But there is  a bad piece of news here. Anabolic steroids, like any other preparations, may cause side effects. Functions and even structure of several organs may be destroyed on account of steroid use.
That’s why before applying anabolic steroids it is necessary to know about each possible unwanted effect that may occur on account of these products. It is a good idea to learn information about these products before you make a final decision to use them. You should know that certain unwanted reactions of these preparations may be even irreversible.
It is also important to know indications related to steroid use and follow them. Incorrect application may lead to life-threatening negative results.
There are also guidelines which note how you can reduce risks related to several undesirable results or reduce their severity. Those who have appropriate workouts during steroid use, administer standard dosages, have appropriate diets and apply certain ancillary products for reduction of side reactions will not suffer from grave health problems.
Severe  side consequences ordinarily trouble those who apply enhanced dosages and don’t follow other important indications.
However it is affirmed that soon administration of steroids will become safe, you may see that this time has not come yet. That’s why you must know about all probable dangers in order to avoid certain problems or at least to reduce severity.
The most typical troubles linked with intake of steroids are listed below:
- liver dysfunctions;
- kidney disorders;
- skin troubles;
- cardiovascular disorders;
- psychological disorders;
- troubles related to reproductive system.
Why may be liver functions affected by steroids? Let explain. Toxins are contained in steroids. The body tries to escape from them. Liver participates in this process actively.  Thus, its functions may be disordered because of the toxins contained in steroids. Cysts and tumors may be formed. It is true also about kidneys that also play great role in excretion of toxins. It is known that toxins can be also excreted through skin. That’s why  common undesirable reactions of steroids include acne vulgaris, oily skin and other related problems.
Steroids may also increase cholesterol levels; so, arteries around the heart are blocked; blood clots are formed. The heart becomes unable to circulate the blood through the body appropriately. High blood pressure may also trouble consumers of steroids. Even heart attacks may be caused by steroid use.
Psychological health may be affected by steroids too. Those that take these remedies may become aggressive; they may suffer from unusual changes in mood and depression. Other mental troubles may appear as well.
When it comes to reproductive system, it may be damaged too. Male consumers of steroids may suffer from shrinkage of testicles, changes in size of prostate, gynecomastia, infertility, etc. Female users of steroids may face such problems, as clitoral hypertrophy, hirsutism, menstrual problems, etc.
Unluckily, steroids can have negative impact on other systems too. Just the most common unwanted reactions are described in the article.

New remedies to cure erectile troubles

Some diseases occur in many people and destroy normal life. One of such health troubles is erectile dysfunctions. This problem troubles 50% of men who are over the age of 40. Of course, this is a problem that may destroy relationships between partners. Men try to get rid of this dysfunction. There are some preparations which are indicated to treat erectile dysfunctions. Viagra, Levitra and Cialis are considered to be the best remedies for this need.
Certain pharmaceutical companies comprehend that the medications that are recommended for treatment of erectile problems are in a high demand. They get 500-600 million dollars for the medications that efficiently work in case of this problem in men. So, pharmaceutical companies see that they can receive even greater profits, if they develop new effective products for this purpose. Undoubtedly, scientists put efforts to do it.
Lately certain new medicines to treat erectile problems have been developed. But they must get approval of the FDA before they may be bought and administered legally. These preparations are following: Avanafil, Zoraxel, Zydena (Udenafil) and Bremenalotide.
Let provide substantial information about every of these medicines.
Vivus, a pharmaceutical company, has created the drug Avanafil. Certain studies have manifested that benefits of this medicine become obvious just 15 minutes after it has been administered. But the FDA has not yet approved this medication. So, it is necessary to wait till its safety will be proven.
The pharmaceutical company Rexahn Pharmaceuticals has made the medicine Zoraxel. It influences on the brain, helping to get rid of erectile dysfunctions. It is affirmed that this preparation will get the FDA’s approval by 2013.
The drug Zydena has been developed by the Korean pharmaceutical company by Dong-A Pharmaceuticals. Several studies have demonstrated that this is an efficacious medication which is able to treat erectile dysfunctions. While Malaysians and Russians may utilize it, Americans don’t have access to this preparation because it has not been yet approved by the US FDA. It is confirmed that Zydena works faster than Viagra.
The medication Bremelanotide has been created by Palatin Technologies. This product has certain advantages over others. It is useable for both males and females that experience sexual troubles. Moreover, it has capacity to enhance sexual arousal and desire, influencing on central nervous system.
These are new preparations will be recommended to cure erectile problems. We may hope that they will improve quality of men’s health.

Brain’s structure and functions may be affected by steroid use in teen years

If you are interested in news about steroids, you can confirm that almost each article notices about “roid rage” which is considered to be one of the most dangerous undesirable effects of these products. Anabolic steroids are blamed for many violations, murders and other crimes. It is noticed that these medicines may cause uncontrolled aggression that is responsible for abnormal behavior. However it is not proven scientifically whether steroids can actually cause “roid rage”, media mentions about this negative result very often. Unluckily, several other dangerous unwanted effects are rarely mentioned in news.
Teenagers must be especially warned about some specific side results that may occur in them, if they use steroids in their teen years. The specialists Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark of the Giesel School of Medicine in Dartmouth affirm that these preparations can have very negative influence on teenagers’ brains. These professors have conducted certain studies and made conclusions, basing on the results of their researches. These professors affirm that steroids can 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 have certain specific dangerous adverse results which don’t appear in adult steroid users. The specialists confirm that steroids may affect the brain in adolescents. So, the brain’s structure and functions can be destroyed in adolescents because of steroids. Moreover, these adverse results may be irreversible. It means that brain’s dysfunctions which are displayed through abnormal behavior may present even when the adolescents grow up. Thus, side 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 statements are made on the basis of animals’ reactions to steroid use. One may doubt whether effects of steroids on teenagers’ 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 unwanted results of steroids on teenagers are more lasting than those that appear in adult consumers of steroids.
Leslie Henderson works together with such experts, as Marie Onakomaiya, Donna Porter and Joseph Oberlander.
Leslie Henderson states that it is seen that steroids affect adolescents’ behavior. As we know, behavior is controlled by brain. Since behavior is abnormal, the brain’s structure and functions have certain disorders.
Thus, it is necessary to warn adolescents about all potential risks connected with administration of steroids. If they know about these potential side effects, they will be capable to make a right decision connected with steroids.

Steroid users should not be elected for Baseball Hall of Fame

What do retired baseball players affirm about intake of steroids? This is the question that is often asked by reporters and widely discussed by media. Different persons have various points of view about this issue.
Recently certain retired players of the Major League Baseball were interviewed by some journalists that tried to learn opinions of the former players about the steroid era in baseball. Should steroid users 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 a journalist asked Wade Boggs about this issue as well. He played professional baseball for 18 years. He was asked whether consumers of steroids could be allowed to be chosen for the Hall of Fame. The former baseball player said that steroid users should not be in the Hall Of Fame. According to his opinion, it is a bad message for American youth. No one should be allowed to be in the Hall of Fame and confirm that he is one of the most successful players because he has administered anabolic steroids. It is the bad message for the youth around world.
As for the case linked with Roger Clemens, Boggs said nothing unpleasant about him.
Roger Clemens was accused of lying before the Congress about administration of steroids and HGH. Obstruction of Congress, perjury and false statements were charges against this person. But recently the jury acquitted him. The decision of the jury dismissed the opinion that Roger Clemens had success due to administration of banned preparations.
While Wade Boggs refused to say anything negative about Roger Clemens, he had some harsh words about pitchers that use steroids and succeed unfairly.

Patrick Mendes and Joshua Gilbert tested positive for banned medications

Patrick Mendes and Joshua Gilbert, top Olympic weightlifters, were banned from “Average Broz’s Gymnasium” (Las Vegas, Nevada). They tested positive for forbidden medicines. Steroids were not the medications applied by these sportsmen. They used non-steroidal drugs that are also prohibited under Code of the WADA.
Mendes tested positive for prohibited products in February 2012 before the United States Olympic Team Trials for Weightlifting determined who would represent the US at the 2012 London Olympics. The sportsman tested for HGH; as a result, he was banned.
Joshua Gilbert tested positive for the diuretic medicine furosemide at the 2012 National Weightlifting Championships. It was in March 2012.
Furosemide is a drug that is used by those who administer steroids in order to mask usage of steroids. Moreover, this medicine helps sportspersons to lose weight in order to correspond to certain weight groups.  Weightlifting, boxing and wrestling are sports where athletes are divided to certain weight classes.
HGH and furosemide are preparations that are forbidden by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF). The anti-doping system of the IWF is in the harmony with the WADA Code.
Mendes and Gilbert were coached by John Broz. Broz lived and trained with the well-known Bulgarian weightlifter Antonio Krastev during his career. Krastev broke a world record snatch of 216 kg in 1987. John Broz studied the Bulgarian system of trainings and brought several methods to America. He established own training facilities in Las Vegas.
Mendes went to 2-year suspension. As for Gilbert, he was suspended for 3 years.
The bans of these weightlifters are failure for “Average Broz’s Gym”. So, the greatest weightlifters were not allowed to represent their home country at the 2012 Olympic Games.

Larry Olubamiwo was caught by UKAD after he used banned drugs for 6 years

The heavyweight boxer Larry “War Machine” Olubamiwo used certain anabolic steroids, HGH, IGF-1 and other doping medicines during 6 years. Although several tests have been conducted earlier, he was caught only in January 2012. After a fight against Sam Sexton Larry Olubamiwo tested positive for prohibited preparations. Metabolites of steroids were not discovered in his sample. The boxer tested positive for EPO. EPO represents a blood boosting medication.
Prolonged application of prohibited preparations 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 administration of 13 various forbidden products is a real success of the UKAD in the struggle against doping.  
Andy Parkinson claimed that it was an unusual case. The boxer applied steroids and other related preparations for long period of time without fear to spoil his health, career and reputation. He was sentenced to 4-year suspension.
But the alarming aspect is following: Olumamiwo could avoid detection for prolonged time, despites significant efforts of anti-doping officers to “clean” sports from administration of doping preparations.
Olubamiwo was caught only because the UKAD was informed by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that he was implicated in an investigation connected with illicit sale of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in the US. Then the UKAD conducted a test which 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 confirmed that the case manifested that cheating couldn’t be hidden.
What is your opinion about the case? Do positives for EPO and the ban of Olubamiwo demonstrate that anti-doping agencies succeed? Or does the case show that anti-doping system is not proper?
Everyone may make own conclusion. But it is clear that the athlete could take many forbidden drugs for 6 years without being detected by anti-doping officers.

Linda McMahon’s opponents try to prove that she has promoted steroid use

Linda McMahon puts essential efforts in order to show that she is a politician that deserves to be trusted. She tried to get rid of steroid associations that have spoiled the reputation of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) throughout many years. Of course, her opponents always used opportunities to mention about great problems associated with steroid use in the WWE.
Linda McMahon is the former President and CEO of the WWE. The WWE was founded by her and her husband Vince McMahon in 1990. Almost 60% of the traded stock of the WWE belongs to them. They succeeded due to profits related to the WWE Empire. One billion dollars was got by the McMahons due to the business related to the WWE. Mrs. McMahon ended her tenure of the WWE in 2009 and began her political career. She joined the Republican Party seeking a Senatorial Seat for the State of Connecticut.  The woman spent about 50 million dollars on the campaign. But the campaign was unsuccessful. The nominee of the Democratic Party Richard Blumenthal won. Nowadays she is seeking the Republican nomination in order to replace Joe Lieberman, another retiring Senator for Connecticut’s State.
Since Linda McMahon got involved in politics, numerous persons started criticizing her for application of steroids in the WWE.
 A newspaper confirms that McMahon loves to note that she has created certain jobs but she doesn’t answers questions about the jobs. An article affirms that the CEO of the WWE ridicules stupid men who humiliate women and promotes intake of steroids.
The WWE responded quickly to these affirmations. The Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications for WWE Brian Flinn has noted 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 medicines are sentenced to suspensions. Thus, the WWE prohibits steroid use. Furthermore, Brian Flinn has mentioned that the WWE has one of the best wellness policies in sports and entertainment.

Victor Conte: diminished performance doesn’t prove that steroid use is excluded from sports

Recently Victor Conte, the founder of BALCO, shared his thoughts about testing program of anti-doping agencies and the current state of doping among sportspersons.
Victor Conte has noticed that it is unlikely that the 2012 Olympic Games would be free from intake of steroids and other banned drugs. The founder of BALCO said in an interview that Olympic anti-doping testing system had various defects. Thus, steroid users were also chosen to compete at the Olympic Games.
Conte doesn’t believe that administration of forbidden medications has decreased. He doesn’t agree with individuals that affirm that low performance in various sports is a proof that steroids and other related drugs are almost excluded from sports.
The founder of BALCO claims that steroids are widely used now too. Efforts of anti-doping agencies led to adoption of sportspersons. Thus, athletes don’t utilize as enhanced dosages as have been utilized before.  Nonetheless, intake of steroids and other prohibited drugs remains to be a problem.
The founder of BALCO is sure that sportspeople don’t use such designer steroids, as THG. Instead of administering such drugs, sportspersons take the steroid testosterone which is considered to be the grandfather of all steroids.  Conte adds that since testosterone is fast-acting and it is available in form of creams, gels, patches and injections, it is widely used by athletes. Moreover, not very high doses of testosterone are needed in order to cause great effects. This steroid is widespread among professional baseball players.
Conte criticizes anti-doping system. He affirms that anti-doping agencies have essential ambiguities. Even a truck may go through loopholes that are in doping laws, according to the founder of BALCO.

Rano Izhar supplied bodybuilder with recommendations linked with steroid use

Media exaggerates any case related to steroids in sports and bodybuilding. Numerous facts are described in misleading ways. Thus, steroid scandals appear without any basis. Here is the case.
Rano Izhar, the president of the Singapore Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (SBFF), has admitted that he shared recommendations linked with intake of anabolic steroids.
Any individual who belongs to the world of bodybuilding knows that steroids, HGH and several other related drugs are widely spread and applied by bodybuilders. Several news websites have written numerous articles, treating the actions of the SBFF president as a steroid scandal. But be careful! He has not sold anabolic steroids, he has only disseminated information.
”The New Paper”, a Singapore’s newspaper”, revealed emails between a bodybuilder and the president of the SBFF that were written before Rano Izhar became the president. Izhar provided indications linked with steroids cycles to the bodybuilder. The cycles suggested administration of 14 different products, including such steroids, as Anadrol 50, Dianabol, Primobolan Depot, etc. Clomid was also recommended.
Izhar confirmed that the guidelines were just for his friend that was an amateur bodybuilder. Moreover, he was not the president of the SBFF, when he provided this information.
Izhar’s friend planned to take steroids. He decided to do it. Izhar didn’t promote it. He only desired to help his friend. He wished he administered steroids in the safest way.
Izhar acknowledged that he had provided guidelines connected with steroid cycles. He affirmed that he needed to tell his friend which products were effective and which medications didn’t work well. Izhar added that when anyone asked him about ways to take steroids, it meant that they would take them, regardless of the answer. Thus, the president just felt that he had to notice at least the most important aspects which should be known about steroids.
Izhar has obtained the degree of Doctor in “lifestyle medicine” at the Harvard Medical School. He realized that he had to do anything he could for harm reduction for those that administer steroids and other related products.

Polish police officers collaborated with US to bust multinational steroid company based in Warsaw

Everybody must have observed that the US tries 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 worked together with Poland’s police officers in order to bust individuals that have been suspected in shipment of steroids and other illegal medications to different countries of the world.
This investigation began circa one year ago. The polish Border Guard Straz Graniczna intercepted huge doses of steroids that were shipped to clients in the US and Canada. Steroids in form of injections and pills were confiscated at the Warsaw mail terminal.
Straz Graniczna co-worked with US DEA. Finally two men from Poland were detained. One of them was arrested, after he left the post office. More than 7, 000 steroid tablets and 19, 000 steroid vials and 47, 000 Polish zloty or more than 14, 000 US dollars were discovered in this person’s car. But it was just the beginning of seizures.
It was determined that an apartment located in Warsaw was a base of the underground lab that manufactured steroids which are ordinarily administered by American bodybuilders. When law enforcement officials searched the apartment, they found drug paraphernalia there. The apartment was used not just for manufacture of steroids but also for storage of ready steroids. About 666, 000 steroid tablets, 19, 000 vials of steroids and over 5, 000 steroid ampoules were seized during the search. The medications were estimated. The cost was claimed to be 6 million Polish zloty or 1, 8 million US dollars.
It is supposed that the US will ask Poland to extradite these two individuals.
The USA is aggressive, when it comes to struggle against steroids. Multinational steroid empires are busted.
But the US doesn’t have significant success working with Europe and Asia. The US presses other countries to arrest and extradite steroid dealers.
Steroid dealers that were linked with British Dragon and Musclebear were arrested and extradited to the US from Thailand and Cyprus.
The US pressed Austria to arrest the steroid dealer Mihael Karner. So, he was arrested. Then the USA asked Austrian authorities to extradite him to the US. But feds didn’t succeed that time. Mihael Karner paid one million Euros to Austrian authorities to prevent the extradition and arrive to his home country Slovenia.

Roger Clemens jurors were not convinced by affirmations of government

Names of 12 persons (4 men and 8 women) that acted as jury at the case against the athlete Roger Clemens were released by the judge Reggie Walton.
The government wanted the jury to be convinced that the athlete had lied before the Congress about usage of steroids and HGH. But since the jury didn’t believe it, the government criticized the persons that composed the jury. Some individuals that composed 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 were belonged to the jury.
Joyce Robinson-Paul, a political activist, was interviewed by the New York Daily News some days after Roger Clemens was cleared of the charges. She affirmed that the jury understood that they had to be fair to both the government and the baseball player. But they didn’t find anything that had to be pursued.  Later she also affirmed that the federal prosecutors were not capable to prove their statements.
The employee of the Canadian Embassy Bradford Weaver affirmed that the government acted wrongly. This person noticed that such cases should not be repeated. This person also noted that there was nothing to be pursued. He was interviewed by the Associated Press. Bradford Weaver also claimed that each juror saw from the very beginning that Clemens was not guilty of any charge. This person claimed that every juror was unanimous.
Bradford Weaver was also asked whether he considered that Roger Clemens really applied steroids. Journalists of the Associated Press also asked him whether he considered that the governmental case against Roger Clemens represented only the waste of taxpayers’ funds. But he refused to answer the questions.
Another juror who chose not to be named confirmed that the jurors didn’t understand how the government could spend significant sums of money during five years in order to prosecute the baseball player. This person noticed that it was impossible to comprehend why the prosecution lasted for 5 years.
Other jurors didn’t present any information.
As for feds, they seemed to be wholly disappointed. They declined to respond to the affirmations pronounced by the jurors.
