Steroid-using athletes avoid detection successfully

Recently Alan Abramson published an article where he noted whether tests conducted by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) were effective.
The WADA conducts many tests for steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs each year. It seems that those that apply steroids and/or other related drugs are caught. You may believe that the world of sports and bodybuilding will be soon cleansed from application of forbidden medicines. For example, numerous tests for banned medications have been conducted at the 2012 London Olympics.
But several questions appear here. Are these tests sophisticated enough to detect any athlete that dopes? Are these tests effective?
Let examine results of several 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 intake of steroids. Many positives were for cannibinoids. 10 % positives were for marijuana. As you see, only 60% out of those who took forbidden drugs applied steroids. Is it real? Don’t display the results of the tests that the WADA doesn’t do the job properly?
The former president of the WADA Dick Pound believes that at least 10 % of sportspersons who took part in the 2012 Summer Olympics applied steroids. He affirms that those steroid users that are not clever are caught by anti-doping agencies. He also affirms that a sportsperson that has been caught doping will fail an IQ test. He concludes that just unwise sportspeople don’t avoid detection.
Thus, when you read that the WADA has conducted many tests to make sports clean, think whether these statements are true. Is able the WADA to make competitions fair? Why does the WADA notice about number of tests?
It seems that the WADA just wants to convince people that the job is done properly. The WADA tries to secure future funds. It is the reality.

Even new sophisticated tests can’t catch clever steroid-using athletes

There are arguable points of view about anabolic steroids. Users praise these medicines because they cause essential benefits. Experts conduct various researches, trying to set whether these medicines are safe for administration. Sports organizations ban intake of these medications because they have positive impact on performance. As for governments of some countries, they have made buying, intake and sale of anabolic steroids illicit. Thus, those that are caught violating these laws may be sentenced to a fine and/or imprisonment.
You may find many articles that blame steroids for certain crimes. However there are a lot of statements about these preparations, the most of people don’t comprehend the nature of these drugs.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids have capacity to increase muscle mass and help to acquire significant strength. While anabolic properties of these products induce creating new muscles, androgenic properties are responsible for development of male sex characteristics.
What promoted elaboration of these preparations? It is known that there were a lot of battles between various cultures since ancient time. So, different cultures tried to invent something which could help soldiers to be brave and have strength enough to win. They utilized rhinoceros horn, shark tooth and other some extracts. Later testicles of animals began to be researched. It led to introduction of anabolic steroids.
 The hormone androstenone was isolated from numerous other substances in 1930 for the first time by the scientist Adolf Butenandt. Then other types of 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. Numerous studies were conducted in different countries in the whole world. Scientists studied influence of these drugs on performance of athletes and bodybuilders. Several physicians promoted intake of steroids among professional sportspeople. One of them was John Ziegler. He administered Dianabol to Olympic athletes.
Steroids were also widely taken in sports and bodybuilding in 1960s and in 1970. Over 50 % Olympic athletes took these drugs. Although new kinds of tests were introduced by anti-doping agencies, it was impossible to combat administering these preparations by sportspersons.
Nowadays more sophisticated tests for steroids and other related medications have been introduced. Despites, these medicines are still widely used in the world of sports and bodybuilding. Clever users know several methods to use steroids without getting caught.

80% of steroid users are bodybuilders that don’t compete

It is believed that the most of steroid users are professional athletes and high school students that are involved in sports. It seems to be true because anabolic steroids have ability to promote enhancing muscle mass and strength. These are effects that appreciated by athletes because they put efforts to win competitions. Furthermore, you read numerous articles that present steroid scandals which occur in sports: in Major League Baseball, National Football League, Olympics, etc. You become convinced that steroids are such preparations which are chiefly spread in sports. You also read numerous pieces of news that notice about usage of performance-enhancing drugs by high school students who look at professional sportspeople and want to become so famous, as they are.
But Lena Butler, a sportswriter, states that the most part of steroid users are not athletes. The most of steroid users are bodybuilders who don’t participate in any competitions. Thus, non-competitive bodybuilders compose 80 % of steroid users. The most of them are over 25 years old. These are those that work as military professionals, officers of law enforcement, etc. Thus, these are individuals that have such jobs which require strength. These persons take steroids for increase of their strength and do their jobs appropriately.
It is also interesting to mention that many persons that have own business administer steroids. They have sufficient money to look attractively. So, they use steroids to improve physique and escape from aging signs.
When it comes to high school students who go info sports, they take steroids because they desire to have success in sports. These persons want to win competitions, become prominent and earn millions of dollars. Steroid-using prominent athletes have great influence on the decision of high school students to take steroids. In fact, it is unsafe. Health of high school students can be destroyed because of steroids evidentially. Unfortunately, this group of steroid users doesn’t desire to change their attitudes to steroids. However they are warned about dangers of steroids for young users, they continue to administer steroids. The number of high school students who apply these preparations rises. If some years ago 1% of high school students administered steroids, nowadays the number is doubled.
Although there is a tendency to condemn steroids, it is important to keep in mind that these drugs are taken not only for enhancement of performance. They are utilizable for therapeutic purposes. Physicians prescribe these medicines for patients who suffer from different health disorders. These medicines are prescribed for persons with cancer. HIV/AIDS- persons administer steroids in order to prevent muscle wasting. These medicines efficiently treat other conditions too.

Typical problems linked with application of steroids

Nobody can contest benefits which are produced by usage of steroids. Users of these drugs acquire strength and enhance their muscle mass. As a result, those that compete in sports win medals. But there is  a negative piece of news here. Anabolic steroids, like any other medications, may lead to unwanted consequences. Functions and even structure of certain organs can be destroyed because of steroid use.
That’s why before applying anabolic steroids it is important to know about each probable adverse consequence which may appear on account of these drugs. It is a good idea to learn information about these drugs before you make a final decision to take them. You should know that some unwanted effects of these drugs may be even permanent.
It is also necessary to know recommendations linked with usage of steroids and follow them. Inappropriate application may lead to fatal undesirable results.
There are also instructions that note how you can decrease risks related to several adverse reactions or reduce their severity. Those who have appropriate trainings during administration of steroids, take standard measures, have proper nutrition and take certain ancillary preparations for reduction of side consequences will not suffer from severe health problems.
Grave  unwanted effects ordinarily trouble those that administer high quantities and don’t follow other important recommendations.
However it is noted that soon application of steroids will become safe, you may see that this time has not come yet. That’s why you must know about all potential dangers in order to avoid some problems or at least to reduce severity.
The most usual problems linked with intake of steroids are written below:
- liver troubles;
- kidney troubles;
- skin troubles;
- cardiovascular diseases;
- psychological disorders;
- problems related to reproductive system.
Why may be liver functions destroyed by steroids? Let notice. Toxins are contained in steroids. The body tries to get rid of 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 developed. It is true also about kidneys which also play significant role in excretion of toxins. It is known that toxins may be also excreted through skin. That’s why  typical adverse effects of steroids include acne vulgaris, oily skin and other related troubles.
Steroids may also enhance cholesterol levels; so, arteries around the heart are blocked; blood clots are formed. The heart may become unable to circulate the blood through the body properly. High blood pressure may also occur in steroid users. Even heart attacks may be caused by steroids.
Psychological health may be affected by steroids too. Those that use these preparations may become aggressive; they may suffer from unusual changes in mood and depression. Other mental problems may appear as well.
As for reproductive system, it may be damaged too. Male consumers of steroids may suffer from shrunken testicles, hypertrophy of prostate, abnormal development of breast tissue, infertility, etc. Female consumers of steroids may face such troubles, as changes in size of clitoris, hirsutism, menstrual abnormalities, etc.
Unfortunately, steroids can have negative impact on other systems as well. Just the most typical negative consequences are mentioned in the article.

Which drugs can improve men’s health?

Certain health troubles occur in numerous individuals and destroy good life. One of such diseases is erectile troubles. This condition troubles 50% of males that are over 40 years old. Of course, this is an unpleasant condition that may affect relations between partners. Men try to get rid of this trouble. There are certain drugs which are prescribed to treat erectile troubles. Viagra, Levitra and Cialis are considered to be the best remedies for this need.
Certain pharmaceutical companies comprehend that the drugs which are indicated for treatment of erectile troubles are in a high demand. They get 500-600 million dollars for the medicines that efficiently work in case of this problem in men. So, pharmaceutical companies see that they can get even greater profits, if they elaborate new effective drugs for this purpose. Undoubtedly, scientists put efforts to do it.
Recently certain new medications to treat erectile problems have been created. But they should be approved by the FDA before they may be purchased and taken legally. These medications include Avanafil, Zoraxel, Zydena (Udenafil) and Bremenalotide.
Let provide substantial information about every of these preparations.
The pharmaceutical company Vivus has made the preparation Avanafil. Certain studies have demonstrated that benefits of this medication become obvious just 15 minutes after it has been used. But the FDA has not yet approved this medication. Thus, it is needed to wait till its safety will be proven.
The pharmaceutical company Rexahn Pharmaceuticals has developed the preparation Zoraxel. It influences on the brain, helping to get rid of erectile problems. It is supposed that this medication will get the FDA’s approval by 2013.
The medication Zydena has been developed by the Korean pharmaceutical company by Dong-A Pharmaceuticals. Certain studies have manifested that this is an efficacious drug which is able to treat erectile troubles. While Malaysians and Russians may utilize it, Americans don’t have access to this drug because it has not been yet approved by the US FDA. It is stated that Zydena works more quickly than Viagra.
The medicine Bremelanotide has been made by the pharmaceutical company Palatin Technologies. This product has certain advantages over others. It is useable for both males and females that experience sexual troubles. Furthermore, it has ability to increase 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 be able to improve quality of males’ health.

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

If you belong to those that read news about steroids, you can observe that almost each article notes about “roid rage” which is considered to be one of the most dangerous unwanted effects of these preparations. Anabolic steroids are demonized for certain violations, murders and other crimes. It is said that these preparations may lead to uncontrolled aggression that is responsible for abnormal behavior. Although it is not proven scientifically whether steroids can really cause “roid rage”, media reports about this unwanted reaction very often. Unfortunately, some other severe adverse results are rarely mentioned in articles.
Adolescents should be especially warned about some specific side results that can occur in them, if they use steroids in their teen years. The professors Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark of the Giesel School of Medicine in Dartmouth confirm that these drugs can have very negative influence on adolescents’ brains. These professors have conducted certain studies and made conclusions, basing on the results of their studies. These professors claim that steroids may cause in adolescents something severer than uncontrolled aggression.
According to Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark, steroids are very dangerous for adolescents because this class of consumers may face several specific grave negative effects which don’t appear in adult steroid users. The experts note that steroids may affect the brain in teenagers. Thus, the brain’s structure and functions can be destroyed in teenagers because of steroids. Furthermore, these undesirable consequences may be irreversible. It means that brain’s disorders that are displayed through abnormal behavior may present even when the adolescents grow up. Thus, negative psychological effects can be displayed even in their adulthood.
But it is necessary to notice that the studies conducted by Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark have enrolled animals. So, the conclusions have been done on the basis of animals’ reactions to steroid use. One can doubt whether effects of steroids on teenagers’ brains are the same as those on animals. Nevertheless, Leslie Henderson is sure that these conclusions are true for humans as well.
Moreover, it has been determined that undesirable effects of steroids on teenagers are more lasting than those which occur in adult steroid users.
Leslie Henderson works together with such specialists, as Marie Onakomaiya, Donna Porter and Joseph Oberlander.
Leslie Henderson states that it is obvious that steroids affect adolescents’ behavior. As we know, behavior is controlled by brain. Since behavior is abnormal, the brain’s structure and functions are destroyed.
Thus, it is important to inform teenagers about all potential risks associated with application of steroids. If they know about these probable side consequences, they will be able to make a right decision related to steroids.

No steroid user should be elected for Baseball Hall of Fame

What do retired baseball players state about steroid use? This is the question which is frequently asked by reporters and widely presented by media. Various individuals have different ideas about this issue.
Recently some retired players of the Major League Baseball were interviewed by certain journalists that tried to learn opinions of the retired 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 want to see steroid users in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Later a journalist asked Wade Boggs about this issue as well. This athlete 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 retired baseball player affirmed that consumers of steroids should not be in the Hall Of Fame. According to his point of view, it is not the best message for American youth. No one should be allowed to be in the Hall of Fame and claim that he is one of the most successful players because he has used anabolic steroids. This is the bad message for the youth of the whole world.
As for the case related to Roger Clemens, Boggs said nothing unpleasant about him.
Roger Clemens was accused of lying before the Congress about intake of steroids and HGH. He was charged with obstruction of Congress, perjury and false statements. But recently he was acquitted by the jury. The decision of the jury dismissed the affirmation that Roger Clemens had success due to usage of forbidden medications.
While Wade Boggs said nothing negative about Roger Clemens, he pronounced several harsh words about pitchers who apply steroids and take unfair advantages.

Patrick Mendes and Joshua Gilbert were sentenced to bans for usage of banned drugs

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

UKAD: ban of Larry Olubamiwo is success of anti-doping efforts

The heavyweight boxer Larry “War Machine” Olubamiwo applied some anabolic steroids, HGH, IGF-1 and other doping medicines during six years. Although some tests have been conducted earlier, he was caught just in January 2012. After a fight against Sam Sexton Larry Olubamiwo tested positive for forbidden products. Metabolites of steroids were not discovered in his sample. The athlete tested positive for EPO. EPO is a blood boosting medicine.
Long-term intake 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 suspension of Olubamiwo for usage of 13 different banned drugs is a real success of the UKAD in the struggle against doping.  
Andy Parkinson noticed that it was an unusual case. The boxer took steroids and other related medications for prolonged time without fear to spoil his health, career and reputation. He was sentenced to 4-year ban.
But the alarming fact is following: Olumamiwo could avoid detection for prolonged time, despites essential efforts of anti-doping officers to “clean” sports from intake of doping medications.
Olubamiwo was caught only because the UKAD was informed by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that he became the target of an investigation linked with illicit sale of anabolic steroids and other related drugs in the US. Then the UKAD conducted a test that resulted in positives for EPO.
Robert Smith, the General Secretary for the British Boxing Board of Control, supported the affirmations of Andy Parkinson about efforts and success of anti-doping agencies. He claimed that the case demonstrated that cheating couldn’t be hidden.
What do you think about the case? Do positives for EPO and the suspension of Olubamiwo manifest that anti-doping officers succeed? Or does the case demonstrate that anti-doping policy is not proper?
Everyone can make own conclusion. But it is clear that the boxer could apply various forbidden medicines for 6 years without being caught by anti-doping officers.

Linda McMahon’s opponents: Linda is responsible for steroid use in WWE

Linda McMahon puts significant efforts in order to manifest that she is a politician that deserves to be trusted. She tried to escape from steroid scandals which have spoiled the reputation of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) throughout many years. Undoubtedly, her opponents ever utilized possibilities to notice about great problems associated with intake of steroids in the WWE.
It is ever noted that 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 earned by the McMahons due to the business connected with 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 wasted about 50 million dollars on the campaign. But the campaign was unsuccessful. She lost to the Democratic Party. Now 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, many individuals began to criticize her for application of steroids in the WWE.
 A newspaper affirms that McMahon loves to note that she has created certain jobs but she doesn’t answers questions about the jobs. An article confirms that the CEO of the WWE makes fun of unintelligent men that humble women and promotes steroid use.
The WWE responded quickly to these affirmations. The Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications for WWE Brian Flinn has noted that the WWE worries about health of wrestlers and random drug testing manifests that the WWE is against usage of steroids. At least 4 random tests are conducted per year for each wrestler. Those who test positive for forbidden medicines are sentenced to bans. Thus, the WWE bans steroid use. Moreover, Brian Flinn has noticed that the WWE has one of the best wellness systems in sports and entertainment.

Victor Conte believes that anti-doping system has numerous lacks

Recently Victor Conte, the founder of BALCO, shared his thoughts about testing program of anti-doping agencies and the current state of doping in sports.
Conte has claimed that it is unlikely that the 2012 Olympic Games would be free from intake of steroids and other doping medicines. Conte claimed in an interview that Olympic anti-doping testing system had various defects. So, consumers of steroids were also chosen to compete at the Olympic Games.
The founder of BALCO doesn’t believe that administration of prohibited medications has decreased. He doesn’t agree with persons that claim that reduced performance in various sports is a proof that steroids and other related preparations are almost excluded from sports.
Conte notices that steroids are widely used now too. Efforts of anti-doping agencies promoted adoption of athletes. So, athletes don’t apply as enhanced dosages as have been administered before.  Nonetheless, administration of steroids and other doping products remains to be a concern.
Victor Conte is sure that sportspeople don’t apply such designer steroids, as THG. Instead of applying such medicines, sportspersons use the steroid testosterone which is considered to be the grandfather of all steroids.  Victor Conte adds that since testosterone is fast-acting and it is available in form of creams, gels, patches and injections, it is widely applied by sportspersons. Moreover, not very high quantities of testosterone are needed in order to cause excellent results. This steroid is widespread among Major League Baseball players.
Conte criticizes anti-doping system. He notices that anti-doping agencies have evident ambiguities. Even a truck can go through loopholes which are in doping laws, according to the founder of BALCO.

Singapore Bodybuilding & Fitness Foundation provides recommendations linked with steroid use

Journalists exaggerate any situation connected with steroids in sports and bodybuilding. Numerous facts are presented in misleading ways. Thus, steroid scandals appear without any basis. One of the cases is presented in the article.
Rano Izhar, the president of the Singapore Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (SBFF), has admitted that he shared guidelines linked with application of anabolic steroids.
Any person who belongs to the world of bodybuilding knows that steroids, HGH and several other related products are widely spread and utilized by bodybuilders. Several news websites have written numerous articles, treating the actions of the SBFF president as a steroid scandal. But be reasonable! He has not sold anabolic steroids, he has only spread information.
The Singapore’s newspaper “The New Paper” got emails between a bodybuilder and the president of the SBFF which were written before Rano Izhar became the president. Izhar provided guidelines related to steroids cycles to the bodybuilder. The cycles were composed of 14 various preparations, including such steroids, as Anadrol 50, Dianabol, Primobolan Depot, etc. Clomid was also advised.
Izhar affirmed that the guidelines were only for his friend that was an amateur bodybuilder. Moreover, Izhar was not the president of the SBFF, when he provided the recommendations.
Izhar’s friend was going to take steroids. It was his friend’s decision. Izhar didn’t promote it. He just desired to help his friend. He wished he administered steroids in the safest way.
Izhar admitted that he had provided instructions linked with steroid cycles. He confirmed that he needed to tell his friend which medicines were efficient and which drugs didn’t work appropriately. He added that when someone asked him about ways to take steroids, it meant that they would administer them, regardless of the answer. So, the president just felt that he had to notice at least the most important things which should be known about steroids.
Izhar has acquired 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 take steroids and other related medications.

Polish steroid dealers are arrested due to cooperation of local police officers with US

You must have seen that the US put efforts to bust multinational companies that advertise steroids on internet and deliver them to customers around the world.
Recently the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has co-worked with Poland’s law enforcement officers in order to bust persons that have been suspected in shipment of steroids and other related products to various countries of the world.
This investigation began about one year ago. The polish Border Guard Straz Graniczna intercepted huge doses of steroids that were sent to individuals in the US and Canada. Steroids in form of injections and pills were seized at the Warsaw mail terminal.
Straz Graniczna co-worked with US DEA. Finally 2 individuals 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 man’s car. But it was only the beginning of seizures.
It was determined that an apartment located in Warsaw served as a base of the underground lab that produced steroids that are usually 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 keeping of ready steroids. Circa 666, 000 steroid pills, 19, 000 vials of steroids and over 5, 000 steroid ampoules were confiscated during the search. The medicines were estimated. The price was claimed to be 6 million Polish zloty or 1, 8 million US dollars.
It is suggested that the US will ask Polish authorities to extradite these two individuals.
The USA becomes aggressive, when it comes to war on steroids. Multinational steroid companies 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 Mihael Karner, the leader of an international drug company. He was arrested. Then the USA pressed Austrian authorities to extradite him to the US. But federal prosecutors didn’t succeed that time. Mihael Karner paid one million Euros to Austrian authorities to avoid the extradition and reach his home country Slovenia.

Roger Clemens is acquitted; federal prosecutors are disappointed

Names of 12 persons (4 men and 8 women) who served as jury at the governmental case against Roger Clemens were released by the judge Reggie Walton.
The government desired the jury to be convinced that Roger Clemens had lied before the Congress about intake of steroids and HGH. But since the jury acquitted Roger Clemens, the government criticized the individuals that composed the jury. Several individuals who acted as 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 composed the jury.
Joyce Robinson-Paul, a political activist, was interviewed by the New York Daily News several days after Roger Clemens was acquitted. She affirmed that the jury comprehended that they had to be fair to both the government and the sportsperson. But they didn’t find anything that had to be pursued.  Later she also noticed that the federal prosecutors were not capable to prove their affirmations.
Bradford Weaver, an employee of the Canadian Embassy stated that the government was wrong. This person noted that such situations should not happen again. He also claimed that there was nothing to be prosecuted. He was interviewed by the Associated Press. He also claimed that every juror understood from the very beginning that Roger Clemens was not proven guilty of any charge. This person pointed 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 the athlete represented just the waste of taxpayers’ funds. But Bradford Weaver didn’t answer the questions.
Another juror that preferred not to be identified confirmed that the jurors didn’t comprehend how the government made the decision to waste significant sums of money during five years in order to prosecute the baseball player. This person claimed that it was impossible to understand why the prosecution lasted for five years.
Other jurors didn’t present any information.
As for feds, they seemed to be wholly disappointed. They declined to respond to the affirmations presented by the jurors.
