Olympic athletes continue using steroids without being caught

Recently Alan Abramson published an article where he noticed whether tests conducted by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) were efficacious.
The WADA conducts many tests for steroids and other related medicines every year. It seems that those that dope are caught. One may believe that the world of sports and professional bodybuilding will be soon cleansed from intake of forbidden medicines. For example, very many tests for prohibited medications have been conducted at the 2012 Olympic Games.
But some questions appear here. Are these tests sophisticated enough to catch any sportsperson who dopes? Are these tests efficacious?
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. Circa 60 % of positives indicated about application of steroids. Numerous positives were for cannibinoids. 10 % positives indicated about application of marijuana. As you observe, just 60% out of those who administered prohibited medications applied steroids. Is it real? Don’t prove the results of the tests that the WADA doesn’t do the job suitably?
Dick Pound, the former president of the WADA, believes that at least 10 % of sportspersons that participated in the 2012 London Olympics took steroids. He affirms that those consumers of steroids that are not clever are caught by anti-doping agencies. He also claims that a sportsperson that has been caught taking forbidden preparations will fail an IQ test. He adds that just unwise sportspersons can’t avoid detection.
So, when you hear that the WADA has conducted numerous tests to make sports clean, consider whether these affirmations are true. Has the WADA ability to make competitions fair? Why does the WADA note about number of tests?
It seems that the WADA just desires to convince people that the job is done properly. The WADA desires to secure future funds. It is the reality.

Application of steroids in sports and bodybuilding throughout history

There are arguable points of view about anabolic steroids. Consumers praise these medicines because they produce great benefits. Scientists conduct various researches, trying to set whether these medications are safe for application. Sports organizations ban application of these drugs because they have positive influence on performance. When it comes to governments of some countries, they have made purchases, usage and sale of anabolic steroids illicit. So, those who are caught violating these laws may be enforced to pay a fine and/or go to prison.
You may come across a lot of articles that demonize steroids for certain crimes. Although there are many statements about these drugs, the most of people don’t understand the essence of these medicines.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids have capacity to enhance muscle size and help to obtain great strength. While anabolic features of these preparations induce creating new muscles, androgenic properties are responsible for development of male sexual characteristics.
What promoted elaboration of these drugs? It is known that there were many battles between different cultures since ancient time. So, various cultures tried to think up 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 started to be researched. It led to elaboration of anabolic steroids.
 The hormone androstenone was isolated from several other compounds 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 great steroid development. Many studies were conducted in different countries in the whole world. Scientists studied effects of these medicines on performance of sportspersons and bodybuilders. Certain doctors promoted administration of steroids among professional sportspeople. John Ziegler was one of such doctors. He administered Dianabol to Olympic athletes.
Steroids were also widely taken in the world of sports and bodybuilding in 1960s and in 1970. Over 50 % Olympic athletes used these products. Although new kinds of tests were introduced by anti-doping officials, it was impossible to combat taking these medicines by athletes.
Nowadays more sophisticated tests for steroids and other related drugs have been introduced. Nonetheless, these medications are still widely taken in the world of sports and bodybuilding. Clever users know some methods to administer steroids without being detected.

Steroids help to do some jobs properly

It is believed that the most of steroid users are professional sportspersons and high school students who go info sports. It seems to be true because anabolic steroids are capable to enhance muscle mass and strength. These are effects that appreciated by sportspersons because they put efforts to win competitions. Furthermore, you come across many articles which present steroid scandals which occur in sports: in Major League Baseball, National Football League, Olympics, etc. You become convinced that steroids are such drugs which are chiefly spread in sports. You also read many pieces of news which notice about intake of performance-enhancing drugs by high school students that look at professional sportspersons and desire to become so well-known, as they are.
But the sportswriter Lena Butler affirms that the most part of steroid users are not athletes. The most of steroid users are bodybuilders that don’t take part in any competitions. So, non-competitive bodybuilders compose 80 % of steroid users. The most of them are young: over the age 25. These are those who work as military professionals, officers of law enforcement, etc. Thus, these are individuals that have such jobs that require strength. These individuals administer steroids in order to increase their strength and do their jobs appropriately.
It is also interesting to mention that many persons who have own business administer steroids. They have enough money to look attractively. So, they apply steroids for improvement of physique and anti-aging needs.
As for high school students that are involved in sports, they take steroids because they want to succeed in sports. They want to win competitions, become prominent and earn millions of dollars. Steroid-using celebrated sportspersons have significant influence on the decision of high school students to apply steroids. In fact, it is unsafe. Health of high school students can be affected because of steroids significantly. Unluckily, this group 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 that apply these medicines rises. If several years ago 1% of high school students applied steroids, nowadays the number is doubled.
Although there is a tendency to demonize steroids, it is necessary to remember that these products are applied not only for performance-enhancing effects. They are useful for medical needs. Doctors prescribe these drugs for patients who suffer from various health problems. These drugs are recommended for patients with cancer. HIV/AIDS- individuals use steroids in order to prevent muscle loss. These medicines efficaciously cure other conditions as well.

Most usual health disorders that occur in steroid users

No one can contest benefits that are produced by administration of steroids. Users of these products obtain energy and increase their muscle mass. As a result, those who participate in competitions win medals. But there is  an unpleasant piece of news here. Anabolic steroids, like any other drugs, can lead to negative reactions. Functions and even structure of several organs can be destroyed because of steroid use.
That’s why before administering anabolic steroids it is necessary to know about each probable undesirable result which may appear on account of these medications. It is reasonable to study information about these medications before you make a final decision to use them. You should know that some adverse effects of these medications may be even irreversible.
It is also important to know instructions linked with application of steroids and follow them. Incorrect usage may cause life-threatening undesirable effects.
There are also guidelines that note how you can decrease risks connected with several unwanted effects or minimize their severity. Those who have appropriate trainings during steroid use, take correct measures, have appropriate nutrition and use certain ancillary products for reduction of undesirable consequences will not suffer from serious health problems.
Dangerous  undesirable consequences usually trouble those who take increased doses and don’t follow other important indications.
However it is stated that soon application of steroids will become safe, you may observe that this time has not come yet. That’s why you must know about all probable dangers in order to prevent certain troubles or at least to minimize severity.
The most usual troubles linked with usage of steroids are listed below:
- liver problems;
- kidney disorders;
- skin troubles;
- cardiovascular diseases;
- psychological troubles;
- troubles connected with reproductive system.
Why may be liver affected by steroids? Let explain. Toxins are contained in steroids. The body tries to escape from them. Liver takes part in this process actively.  So, its functions may be destructed because of the toxins contained in steroids. Cysts and tumors may appear. It is true also about kidneys that also play significant role in excretion of toxins. It is known that toxins can be also excreted through skin. That’s why  usual side consequences 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 appear. The heart becomes unable to circulate the blood through the body appropriately. High blood pressure may also appear in consumers of steroids. Even heart attacks may be caused by steroid use.
Psychological health may be affected by steroids too. Those who administer these drugs may become aggressive; they may experience abnormal changes in mood and depression. Other mental problems may occur as well.
As for reproductive system, it may be destructed too. Male users of steroids may experience shrunken testicles, changes in size of prostate, gynecomastia, infertility, etc. Female consumers of steroids may face such problems, as enlargement of clitoris, hirsutism, irregularities in menstrual cycles, etc.
Unluckily, steroids may influence on other systems negatively too. Just the most typical adverse effects are presented in the article.

New drugs for improvement of sexual life in men

Certain health problems occur in numerous persons and destroy good life. One of such troubles is erectile troubles. This condition occurs in 50% of males that are over 40 years old. Of course, this is an unpleasant condition which may destroy relationships between partners. Males put great efforts to get rid of this problem. There are certain medications that are recommended for treatment of erectile dysfunctions. Viagra, Levitra and Cialis are claimed to be the best remedies for this need.
Several pharmaceutical companies comprehend that the medicines which are administered for treatment of erectile troubles are in a high demand. They get 500-600 million dollars for the medicines which are recommended in case of this disorder in men. Thus, pharmaceutical companies see that they may receive even greater profits, if they develop new efficacious preparations for this need. Undoubtedly, specialists put efforts to do it.
Lately some new drugs to cure erectile dysfunctions have been developed. But they must be approved by the FDA before they may be bought and applied legally. These medicines include Avanafil, Zoraxel, Zydena (Udenafil) and Bremenalotide.
Let provide general information about each of these medicines.
The pharmaceutical company Vivus has made the drug Avanafil. Certain studies have demonstrated that benefits of this product are felt just 15 minutes after it has been used. But the FDA has not yet approved this medicine. Thus, it is necessary to wait till its safety will be proven.
The pharmaceutical company Rexahn Pharmaceuticals has made the drug Zoraxel. It influences on the brain, treating erectile problems. It is affirmed that this medication will get the FDA’s approval by 2013.
The preparation Zydena has been developed by the Korean pharmaceutical company by Dong-A Pharmaceuticals. Several studies have manifested that this is an effective preparation that has ability to treat erectile problems. While Malaysians and Russians may use it, Americans don’t have access to this medicine because it has not been yet approved by the US FDA. It is affirmed that Zydena works more quickly than Viagra.
The product Bremelanotide has been created by the pharmaceutical company Palatin Technologies. This medicine has certain priorities over others. It is useable for both males and females that have sexual problems. Furthermore, it has ability to increase sexual arousal and desire, influencing on central nervous system.
These are new medications will be recommended to cure erectile dysfunctions. We may hope that they will improve quality of males’ health.

Teenage steroid users may face such adverse reactions that don’t trouble adult consumers of steroids

If you read news about steroids, you may claim that almost every article notices about “roid rage” which is considered to be one of the gravest unwanted results of these preparations. Anabolic steroids are blamed for some violations, murders and other crimes. It is noted that these medications may cause uncontrolled aggression which is responsible for abnormal behavior. However it is not proven scientifically whether steroids can really lead to “roid rage”, media mentions about this negative reaction very frequently. Unfortunately, several other serious undesirable consequences are rarely mentioned in articles.
Teenagers must be especially warned about several specific undesirable consequences that may occur in them, if they administer steroids in their teen years. The scientists Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark of the Giesel School of Medicine in Dartmouth confirm that these preparations can have very negative influence on adolescents’ brains. These scientists have conducted several studies and made conclusions, basing on the results of their studies. These scientists notice that steroids may cause in teenagers something more serious than uncontrolled aggression.
According to Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark, steroids are too dangerous for adolescents because this group of consumers may have several specific severe unwanted effects that don’t occur in adult steroid users. The scientists claim that steroids may affect the brain in teenagers. Thus, the brain’s structure and functions can be destroyed in adolescents because of steroids. Furthermore, these unwanted results may be irreversible. It means that brain’s disorders which are displayed through uncontrolled behavior may present even when the teenagers grow up. So, negative 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, the conclusions have been done 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. Nonetheless, Leslie Henderson is sure that these statements are true for humans as well.
Furthermore, it has been defined that negative consequences of steroids on adolescents are more lasting than those which trouble adult consumers of steroids.
Leslie Henderson works together with such scientists, as Marie Onakomaiya, Donna Porter and Joseph Oberlander.
Leslie Henderson claims that it is obvious that steroids affect adolescents’ behavior. As we know, the brain controls behavior. Since behavior is abnormal, the brain’s structure and functions have certain disorders.
So, it is important to educate teenagers about all probable dangers related to steroid use. If they know about these probable side reactions, they will be able to make a right decision related to steroids.

What does Wade Boggs think about steroid users in Baseball Hall of Fame?

What do retired players of the Major League Baseball think about administration of steroids? This is the question which is often asked by reporters and widely debated by media. Different persons have various points of view about this issue.
Recently some retired players of the Major League Baseball were interviewed by some journalists who tried to learn opinions of the former players about the steroid era in baseball. Should consumers of steroids 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 Wade Boggs was asked about this issue as well. He played professional baseball for 18 years. He was asked whether steroid users could be allowed to be chosen for the Hall of Fame. The retired baseball player said that consumers of steroids must not be elected for 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 greatest players because he has administered anabolic steroids. This is the bad message for the youth of the whole world.
When Wade Boggs was asked about Roger Clemens, Boggs said nothing negative about him.
Roger Clemens was accused of lying before the Congress about application of steroids and HGH. Obstruction of Congress, perjury and false statements were charges against this person. But recently he was acquitted by the jury. The decision of the jury dismissed the affirmation that Clemens succeeded due to intake of prohibited medications.
While Wade Boggs said nothing unpleasant about Roger Clemens, he pronounced certain harsh words about pitchers that take steroids and take unfair advantages.

Top Olympic weightlifters sere suspended for usage of HGH and furosemide

The top Olympic weightlifters Patrick Mendes and Joshua Gilbert were banned from “Average Broz’s Gymnasium” (Las Vegas, Nevada). They tested positive for forbidden medications. Steroids were not the preparations taken by these weightlifters. They administered non-steroidal medicines which are also forbidden under Code of the WADA.
Mendes tested positive for forbidden drugs in February 2012 before the United States Olympic Team Trials for Weightlifting determined who would represent the US at the 2012 London Olympics. The weightlifter tested for HGH; as a result, he was suspended.
Joshua Gilbert tested positive for the diuretic drug furosemide at the 2012 National Weightlifting Championships. It was in March 2012.
Furosemide is a medicine that is used by those that administer steroids in order to hide usage of steroids. Moreover, this medication helps sportspersons to lose weight in order to correspond to certain weight categories.  Weightlifting, boxing and wrestling are sports that divide competitors to weight classes.
HGH and furosemide are medicines that are prohibited by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF). The anti-doping system of the IWF meets criteria of the WADA Code.
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 founded own training facilities in Las Vegas.
Mendes was suspended for 2 years. As for Gilbert, he was sentenced to 3-year suspension.
The suspensions of these athletes are failure for “Average Broz’s Gym”. So, the greatest weightlifters were not allowed to represent their home country at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Larry Olubamiwo tested positive for EPO after US DEA informed UKAD that he was linked with illegal sale of steroids and other related drugs

The heavyweight boxer Larry “War Machine” Olubamiwo took some anabolic steroids, HGH, IGF-1 and other doping drugs during 6 years. Although certain tests have been conducted earlier, he was caught just in January 2012. After a fight against Sam Sexton Larry Olubamiwo tested positive for banned drugs. Metabolites of steroids were not discovered in his sample. The athlete tested positive for EPO. EPO represents a blood boosting preparation.
Prolonged intake of banned drugs 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 intake of 13 different forbidden medicines is a real success of the UKAD in the struggle against doping.  
Andy Parkinson noted that it was an unusual case. The boxer applied steroids and other related drugs for long period of time without fear to spoil his health, career and reputation. He was sentenced to 4-year suspension.
But the alarming fact is following: Olumamiwo could avoid detection for long time, despites great efforts of anti-doping officers to “clean” sports from intake of doping drugs.
Olubamiwo was caught just because the UKAD was informed by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that he became the target of an investigation linked with illegal sale of anabolic steroids and other related 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 noticed that the case demonstrated that cheating couldn’t be hidden.
What is your point of view about the case? Do positives for EPO and the suspension of Olubamiwo manifest that anti-doping officers succeed? Or does the case show that anti-doping policy is not proper?
Each person may make own conclusion. But it is clear that the sportsman could take various forbidden preparations for six years without being caught by anti-doping officers.

Associations between Linda McMahon and steroid scandals in WWE

Linda McMahon puts essential efforts to demonstrate that she is a politician that deserves to be trusted. She tried to escape from steroid associations which have destroyed the reputation of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) throughout numerous years. Of course, her opponents always used opportunities to note about serious problems associated with application of steroids in the WWE.
It is ever noted that Linda McMahon is the former President and CEO of the WWE. The WWE was established by her and her husband Vince McMahon in 1990. Almost 60% of the traded stock of the WWE belongs to them. They received great profits due 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 she didn’t win. The nominee of the Democratic Party Richard Blumenthal became the senator. Nowadays Linda McMahan is seeking the Republican nomination in order to be elected instead of Joe Lieberman, another retiring Senator for Connecticut’s State.
Since Linda McMahon got involved in politics, many individuals began to criticize her for usage of steroids in the WWE.
 A newspaper affirms that McMahon loves to notice 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 feebleminded men that humiliate women and promotes administration of steroids.
The WWE responded quickly to these affirmations. The Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications for WWE Brian Flinn has affirmed 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 that test positive for prohibited preparations are sentenced to bans. So, the WWE bans administration of steroids. Furthermore, Brian Flinn has noticed that the WWE has one of the most skillful wellness systems in sports and entertainment.

Victor Conte: athletes don’t use designer steroids

Recently Victor Conte, the founder of BALCO, shared his thoughts about testing of anti-doping agencies and the current state of doping among sportspersons.
Conte has noticed that it is unlikely that the 2012 Summer Olympics would be free from intake of steroids and other banned medicines. The founder of BALCO confirmed in an interview that Olympic anti-doping testing program had different lacks. Thus, consumers of steroids were also chosen to take part in the 2012 Olympic Games.
The founder of BALCO doesn’t believe that usage of forbidden products has diminished. He doesn’t agree with persons who claim that decreased performance in different sports is a proof that steroids and other related drugs are almost excluded from sports.
The founder of BALCO notes that steroids are widely used now too. Efforts of anti-doping agencies led to adoption of athletes. Thus, athletes don’t apply as increased measures as have been taken before.  Nonetheless, usage of steroids and other doping medications continues to be a problem.
Conte is sure that sportspersons don’t apply such designer steroids, as THG. Instead of taking such medicines, athletes take the steroid testosterone which is claimed to be the grandfather of all steroids.  Victor Conte adds that since testosterone is fast-acting and it is purchasable in form of creams, gels, patches and injections, it is widely administered by sportspersons. Moreover, not very enhanced measures of testosterone are required in order to produce great results. This steroid is popular among professional baseball players.
Conte criticizes anti-doping policy. He claims that anti-doping agencies have essential ambiguities. Even a truck can go through loopholes that are in doping rules, according to the founder of BALCO.

Journalists create steroid scandals

Journalists exaggerate any situation related to steroids in sports and bodybuilding. Many facts are presented in misleading ways. So, steroid scandals appear without any reason. 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 instructions connected with usage of anabolic steroids.
Any person that belongs to the world of bodybuilding knows that steroids, HGH and several other related preparations are widely spread and utilized by bodybuilders. Certain news websites have written many articles, treating the actions of the SBFF president as a steroid scandal. But be reasonable! He has not sold anabolic steroids, he has just spread information.
The Singapore’s newspaper “The New Paper” revealed emails between a bodybuilder and the president of the SBFF that were written before Izhar became the president. Izhar provided recommendations linked with steroids cycles to the bodybuilder. The cycles suggested usage of 14 different medications, including such steroids, as Anadrol 50, Dianabol, Primobolan Depot, etc. Clomid was also recommended.
Izhar confirmed that the recommendations were just for his friend who was an amateur bodybuilder. Furthermore, he was not the president of the SBFF, when he provided the recommendations.
Izhar’s friend planned to use steroids. It was his friend’s decision. Izhar didn’t promote it. He only wanted to help his friend. He wished he applied steroids in the safest way.
Izhar acknowledged that he had provided recommendations connected with steroid cycles. He affirmed that he needed to tell his friend which medicines were efficacious and which medicines didn’t work well. Izhar added that when anyone 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 that should be known about steroids.
Izhar has gotten the degree of Doctor in “lifestyle medicine” at the Harvard Medical School. He felt that he had to do anything he could for reduction of harm for those that administer steroids and other related medicines.

Multinational steroid empire is busted in Poland

Everyone must have seen that the US put efforts to bust international companies that advertise steroids on internet and deliver them to customers around the world.
Recently the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has collaborated with Poland’s law enforcement officers in order to catch individuals that have been suspected in shipment of steroids and other bodybuilding preparations to various countries of the world.
This investigation started circa one year ago. The polish Border Guard Straz Graniczna intercepted large amounts of steroids that were shipped to clients in the US and Canada. Steroids in form of injections and pills were seized at the Warsaw mail terminal.
Straz Graniczna collaborated with US DEA. Ultimately two men from Poland were arrested. One of them was detained, after he left the post office. Over 7, 000 steroid pills and 19, 000 steroid vials and 47, 000 Polish zloty or over 14, 000 US dollars were found in this man’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 produced steroids that are ordinarily administered by American bodybuilders. When police officers searched the apartment, they discovered drug paraphernalia there. The apartment was utilized not just for manufacture of steroids but also for keeping of prepared steroids. About 666, 000 steroid pills, 19, 000 vials of steroids and over 5, 000 steroid ampoules were seized during the raid. The medicines were estimated. The price was claimed to be 6 million Polish zloty or 1, 8 million US dollars.
It is believed that the US will ask Poland to extradite these two individuals.
The USA becomes aggressive, when it comes to struggle against steroids. Multinational steroid rings are busted.
But the US doesn’t have great success collaborating with Europe and Asia. The US presses other countries to detain and extradite distributors of steroids.
Steroid dealers that were connected 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. So, he was arrested. Then the USA asked Austrian authorities to extradite this person to the US. But federal prosecutors didn’t succeed that time. Karner paid one million Euros to Austrian authorities to avoid the extradition and reach his home country Slovenia.

Roger Clemens jurors were wondering why prosecution lasted 5 years

Names of twelve persons (four men and eight women) who acted as jury at the case against the former baseball player 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 intake of steroids and HGH. But since the jury acquitted Roger Clemens, the government criticized the persons that composed the jury. Several persons that composed the jury were interviewed.
A political activist, an art historian, a teacher of deaf kids, 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 some days after Roger Clemens was acquitted. She noticed that the jury understood 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 noted that the federal prosecutors were not capable to prove their statements.
The employee of the Canadian Embassy Bradford Weaver confirmed that the government acted wrongly. This person noted that such situations should not happen again. He also made it clear that there was nothing to be prosecuted. This person was interviewed by the Associated Press. He also pointed out that each juror was convinced from the very beginning that Roger Clemens was not guilty of any charge. Bradford Weaver reminded that every juror was unanimous.
The employee of the Canadian Embassy was also asked whether he considered that Roger Clemens really took steroids. The Associated Press also asked him whether he considered that the governmental case against the baseball player represented just the waste of taxpayers’ funds. But the employee of the Canadian Embassy didn’t answer the questions.
Another juror that chose not to be identified noted that the jurors didn’t understand how the government made the decision to waste significant sums of money during five years in order to prosecute the athlete. This person claimed that it was impossible to understand why the prosecution took place five years.
Other jurors didn’t present any information.
As for feds, they seemed to be totally disappointed. They declined to respond to the statements presented by the jurors.
