Does money leads to happiness? Of course, it doesn’t. But money possesses great power. However it can’t make you happy, it can help to avoid jail in some cases. Let review the cases connected with Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. Someone has probably believed that these sportspersons will lose. But you should remember that rich guys are unlikely to lose. Since they have money, they have a lot of chances to win.
Barry Bonds was accused of lying to a grand jury. He said under the oath that he had never applied any forbidden remedies. It seemed that Barry Bonds’ cheating was evident and he would go 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 charged with lying under oath as well. He claimed that he had never used any banned medications. Ultimately, the sportsman was cleared of all charges. He didn’t lose too.
These cases display power of money. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have employed the best 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 engage Albert Pujols, Allen Ruby or Rustin Hardy. Thus, it is naturally that feds have lost under these circumstances.
Feds lost also in other situations. For example, let mention the case against the legendary American cyclist Lance Armstrong. The government decided to drop the case because it would lose.
However the government wasted much money for these cases, it couldn’t win. Feds had just minor results in the cases linked with Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
So, if you are a professional sportsman/sportswoman, you may use anabolic steroids and/or other related drugs, if you have money. You should be rich enough to avoid imprisonment. Otherwise, you will be dishonored and punished harshly.
