Which power does money have?

Does money bring happiness? Of course, it doesn’t. But money has significant power. However it can’t bring happiness, it can help to avoid prison in some cases. Let review the cases against Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. One has probably thought that these sportsmen will lose. But you should remember that rich guys are unlikely to lose. Since they have money, they have many possibilities to win.
Barry Bonds was charged with lying to a grand jury. He affirmed under the oath that he had never applied any forbidden medicines. It seemed that Barry Bonds’ cheating was obvious and he would be sentenced 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. Moreover, even this light sentencing was appealed.
Roger Clemens, another baseball player, was charged with lying under oath too. He said that he had never applied any banned medications. Finally, the baseball player was cleared of all charges. Roger Clemens didn’t lose too.
These cases demonstrate power of money. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have engaged the most experienced defense attorneys. Undoubtedly, you need much money in order to employ the wisest defense attorneys. Since Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have money, they could hire Albert Pujols, Allen Ruby or Rustin Hardy. Thus, it is naturally that federal prosecutors have lost under these circumstances.
Federal prosecutors lost also in other situations. For example, let note the case against the famous American cyclist Lance Armstrong. The government made the decision to drop the case because it would lose.
Although the government wasted much money for these cases, it couldn’t win. Federal prosecutors had only insignificant results in the cases linked with Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
So, if you are a professional athlete, you may use anabolic steroids and/or other related medicines, if you have money. You should be rich enough to avoid prison. Otherwise, you will be dishonored and spend years in jail.
