One of the original corresponds of CBS’s 60 minutes presented an interview with Roger Clemens

Mike Wallace, a well-known investigative journalist, who was one of the initial correspondents of CBS’ 60 Minutes died, when he was 93 years old. This correspondent hosted fascinating interviews with world well-known individuals. The most recent stories were about the former professional baseball player Roger Clemens and accusations connected with administration of anabolic steroids and HGH by this person. Mike Wallace’s last appearance on TV was linked with this case.
The interview with Roger Clemens about steroids was hosted in January, 2008. Rusty Hardin, the defense attorney for Roger Clemens, arranged the appearing of this baseball star in the Show 60 Minutes. Roger Clemens had to defense himself against accusations of Brian McNamee, his former personal coach. This trainer accused Roger Clemens in usage of anabolic steroids and HGH. He collaborated with investigators of Mitchell Report, when they tried to define the widespread of steroid use in the Major League Baseball.
Wallace didn’t enforce Clemens to say that he administered steroids. He just encouraged him to prove to others that he had administered neither steroids, nor HGH. Clemens stated that he would be able to pull a tractor with his teeth, if he had utilized steroids.
The interview of Clemens was a calamitous public relations ploy for Rusty Hardin. It was not a perceptive interview. But it renewed the interest after Wallace had died.
Actually, Wallace presented much more interesting interviews during his career. The steroid interview with Roger Clemens was not the most interesting. Why did it draw all people’s attention?
Other interviews of Wallace are quite interesting. Wallace made an interview with the lawyer of the president Richard Nixon and the assistant to the president for Domestic Affairs John Ehrlichman during the Watergate scandal. Wallace called the Watergate scandal “perjury”. He enumerated such methods of Richard Nixon, as thefts, spying, obstruction of justice, etc. The scandal led to resignation of the president Richard Nixon.
Wallace arranged also an interview with the Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini. The reporter named him a “lunatic”. However, he was quoting the president Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt.
Another person that was interviewed by Wallace was the Vice President of Research and Development at a tobacco company. Jeffrey Wigand admitted that executives of the company lied before the Congress about their knowledge about nature of nicotine.
Although these interviews were significant, people directed their attention to insignificant interview with Roger Clemens. It may be because while lying of Roger Clemens before the Congress may cause federal struggle against steroids, the war on nicotine will never exist.

Spanish sportspersons note that Yannick Noah is an ignorant person

Spanish sportsmen had sharp words for the former tennis player from France, Yannick Noah. This athlete wrote an unbelievable article “La Potion Magique” which was published in the French newspaper “Le Monde”. Yannick Noah notices in his work that athletes from Spain have some priorities and win competitions because they apply anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. He confirms that Spain has got more loyal attitude to intake of steroids than France; that’s why sportspersons from Spain have more enhanced muscles and have success in competitions.
Rafael Nadal, a celebrated sportsman from Spain, notes that Yannick Noah wrote totally stupid statements and comments in his work. He is surprised how Noah’s work was allowed to be published in the newspaper. Rafael Nadalwho won 10 Grand titles confirms that Yannick Noah doesn’t write such thoughts which are worthy to be published. According to the Spanish sportsperson, articles of the former French tennis player don’t public attention.
David Ferrer, a famous tennis player from Spain, claims that Yannick Noah is an ignorant man. Ferrer doesn’t understand how a person like Noah who was a professional tennis player and knows the way sport works is able to write such things.
Tennis is not the only kind of sports in which Spain had success. Spanish basketball players won the 2011 FIBA European Championships. Alberto Contador, the Spanish cyclist, won the 2010 Tour de France and the 2011 Giro d’Italia.
Josep Guardiola, a Spanish football director, confirms that Yannick Noah should prove, if he points out that sportsmen from Spain take steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs. But if he can’t prove it, he must close his mouth.
French sportspersons agree with attitude of Spanish sportspersons to Yannick Noah. They criticize him too. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, a celebrated tennis player from France, David Douillet, the Sports minister of France, and Frederic Moncassin, the director of the cycling Team Type 1 belong also to that persons who don’t support the statements of Noah.
