Lack of changes in physical appearance of Roger Clemens serves as defending argument by his attorney

Every baseball fan knows that Roger Clemens is accused in obstruction of justice. It is believed that he has lied before Congress about administration of steroids and HGH.
Rusty Hardin, the attorney that was hired by Roger Clemens to defend him, noted that Roger Clemens’ muscularity didn’t change greatly before, during and after his working with the coach Brian McNamee. The attorney confirmed that this factor was a proof that Roger Clemens hadn’t taken steroids and other related medicines.
Appearance of muscles is frequently utilized by federal prosecutors as proof that a person takes steroids or/and other performance-enhancing drugs. But this tendency was not used during the governmental case against Roger Clemens. No one could affirm that muscles of Roger Clemens demonstrated that he had administered steroids and HGH. It is a difference between the cases against Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds.
When it comes to the governmental case against Barry Bonds, prosecutors called many individuals in the trial that were able to testify that anabolic steroids promoted essential changes in physical appearance of this sportsperson. They confirmed that application of steroids led to enhancement of muscle mass, enhanced size of the head and testicular atrophy in Barry Bonds.
Thus, Rusty Hardin showed four photos of Roger Clemens. The photos displayed physique of Roger Clemens, including the time when Clemens was working with the coach Brain McNamee. Hardin noticed that the photos manifested that there were no changes in physical appearance that could manifest that he utilized steroids and HGH.
The defense attorney for Roger Clemens claimed that the pictures displayed only the process of ageing. The masseur Cheryl Redfern also confirmed that she didn’t observe any changes in physique of Roger Clemens. Roger Clemens experienced neither back acne, nor gynecomastia, nor dramatically increased muscle mass.
The former Major League Baseball player Phil Garner also confirmed that there were not any significant changes in physical appearance and performance of Roger Clemens during working with the coach Brian McNamee.
The Assistant US Attorney Steve Durham put efforts to discredit the argument about lack of physical changes in Roger Clemens during the cross-examination of Garner. He noted that while some steroids enhanced muscle mass, others didn’t promote adding muscles. So, he claimed that the pictures could say nothing about steroid use.
Federal prosecutors desire to take advantages in both cases: in the case against Roger Clemens and in that against Barry Bonds. While they claim that physical changes in Barry Bonds display that he has administered steroids, lack of changes in physical appearance of Roger Clemens doesn’t prove that he hasn’t taken steroids.
