Bruce Goldberger’s testimonies in case against Roger Clemens

Testimonies of the celebrated toxicologist Bruce Goldberger will probably influence greatly on decision of the court in the case linked with Roger Clemens. Bruce Goldberger is the Professor of Pathology and Director of Toxicology at the University of Florida College of Medicine. This expert didn’t testify on behalf of the government. However he was called in order to replace Don Catlin, the director of the WADA UCLA Medicine, Goldberger’s testimonies didn’t correspond to those that are ordinarily provided by anti-doping organizations. This toxicologist testified on behalf of the accused sportsperson.
Bruce Goldberger has gotten his celebrity due to his appearing on different news programs. Even during such programs he doesn’t abstain from criticism. He criticized some anti-doping agencies, including the WADA.
Bruce Goldberger expressed critical words for federal prosecutors in the case connected with Roger Clemens. They based on “beer can evidence” presented by Brian McNamee to prove that his client applied steroids and HGH. Brian McNamee, the former personal trainer of this sportsman, provided a beer can with used needles and syringes that had traces of such steroids, as Sustanon, Primobolan Depot and Deca Durabolin and were mixed allegedly with Roger Clemens’ blood. The beer can was maintained by McNamee more than 6 years. The toxicologist argued that such basis wasn’t reasonable.
Bruce Goldberger confirmed that it was impossible to base on “beer can evidence”. He noted that no one could prove that Roger Clemens used steroids and HGH, basing on the beer can, because the theory of contamination could present.
So, Goldberger didn’t support the affirmations of the federal prosecutors. Earlier he also expressed criticism connected with evidence applied by certain anti-doping agencies.
Some years ago the toxicologist Bruce Goldberger testified on behalf of Floyd Landis, an American celebrated cyclist, when this sportsman appealed positives for steroids. A WADA-accredited lab located in France discovered traces of exogenous testosterone; T: E ratio and carbon isotope ratio tests were utilized by the lab. Goldberger expressed similar words and criticism during the appeal connected with Floyd Landis.
Goldberger noted during an interview that the WADA used unsuitable methods and violated rights of sportspeople in order to reach the success in anti-doping programs.
As for Floyd Landis, he didn’t have success in his appeal and acknowledged that he had applied steroids, EPO and several other related medications.
Nobody can be sure which results will be reached by Roger Clemens. Will the federal prosecutors prove that he has lied before the Congress? Will he admit to using forbidden preparations? Or will be the results contrary?
