However many tests are conducted by WADA, numerous steroid-using athletes remain undetectable

Recently Alan Abramson published an article where he noted whether tests conducted by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) were effective.
The WADA conducts more and more tests for steroids and other related medications every year. It seems that those that apply steroids and/other related medicines are caught. Someone may believe that the world of sports and professional bodybuilding will be soon cleansed from intake of prohibited preparations. For example, very many tests for forbidden medications have been conducted at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
But some questions appear here. Are these tests sophisticated enough to catch any athlete that dopes? Are these tests reliable?
Let examine results of several tests. In 2010 the WADA published 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 steroid use. Numerous positives were for cannibinoids. 10 % positives indicated about application of marijuana. As you observe, just 60% out of those who used banned medicines applied steroids. Is it real? Don’t display the results of the tests that the WADA doesn’t do the job properly?
Dick Pound, the former president of the WADA, thinks that at least 10 % of sportspersons that took part in the 2012 Olympics administered steroids. He notices that those steroid users that are not clever are caught by anti-doping agencies. He also claims that a sportsperson that has been caught using forbidden drugs will fail an IQ test. He concludes that just unwise sportspersons can’t avoid detection.
Thus, when you read that the WADA has conducted numerous tests to make sports clean, think 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 wants to convince people that the job is done appropriately. The WADA put efforts to secure future funds. It is the reality.

Athletes continue administering anabolic steroids and remain undetectable

There are controversial opinions about anabolic steroids. Users praise these products because they produce significant positive changes. Scientists conduct various studies, trying to set whether these medications are safe for usage. Sports organizations ban application of these medications because they have significant impact on performance. When it comes to governments of certain countries, they have made purchases, administration and distribution of anabolic steroids illegal. So, those that are caught violating these laws may be sentenced to a fine and/or imprisonment.
You may find a lot of articles that blame steroids for some crimes. Although there are a lot of statements about these medications, the most of people don’t comprehend the essence of these medications.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids have capacity to increase muscle size and help to get great strength. While anabolic features of these drugs promote creating new muscles, androgenic properties are responsible for development of male sexual characteristics.
What promoted elaboration of these products? It is known that there were numerous battles between different cultures since ancient time. So, different cultures tried to elaborate 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 began to be studied. It led to elaboration of anabolic steroids.
 The hormone androstenone was isolated from several other substances in 1930 for the first time by the specialist 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 significant steroid development. Many researches were conducted in different countries in the whole world. Specialists studied influence of these products on performance of athletes and bodybuilders. Certain physicians promoted administration of steroids among professional sports figures. John Ziegler was one of them. He administered Dianabol to Olympic athletes.
Steroids were also widely applied in the world of sports and bodybuilding in 1960s and in 1970. More than 50 % Olympic athletes administered these preparations. Although new tests were introduced by anti-doping agencies, it was impossible to combat taking these preparations by sportspersons.
Nowadays more sophisticated tests for steroids and other related medications have been introduced. Despites, these products are still widely taken in the world of sports and bodybuilding. Clever users know several ways to take steroids and remain undetectable.

Usefulness of steroids for certain jobs

It is claimed that the most of steroid users are professional athletes and high school students who are involved in sports. It seems to be true because anabolic steroids have capacity to induce increasing muscle mass and strength. These are effects that appreciated by athletes because they try to win competitions. Furthermore, you come across many 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 products that dominate chiefly in sports. You also read many pieces of news that notice about application of performance-enhancing drugs by high school students who look at professional sportspeople and desire to become so celebrated, as they are.
But Lena Butler, a sportswriter, affirms 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, 80% of steroid users are non-competitive bodybuilders. The most of them are young: over the age 25. These are individuals who work as military professionals, officers of law enforcement, etc. So, these are those that have such jobs which require strength. These individuals take steroids for increase of their strength and do their jobs properly.
It is also interesting to mention that numerous individuals that have own business administer steroids. They have enough money to look attractively. Thus, they administer steroids in order to improve physique and to reverse aging process.
When it comes to high school students that go info sports, they take steroids because they desire to succeed in sports. These individuals desire 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 apply steroids. Actually, it is dangerous. Health of high school students can be destroyed because of steroids significantly. Unluckily, this class of steroid users doesn’t want to change their attitudes to steroids. However they are warned about dangers of steroids for young users, they continue to apply steroids. The number of high school students who use these medications rises. If certain years ago 1% of high school students applied steroids, today the number is doubled.
However there is a tendency to condemn steroids, it is important to remember that these preparations are administered not only for performance-enhancing effects. They are utilizable in medicine. Physicians recommend these medicines for patients that experience various health problems. These medications are prescribed for persons with cancer. HIV/AIDS- patients take steroids in order to prevent muscle loss. These medications efficiently treat other conditions as well.

Most typical problems linked with administration of steroids

Nobody can contest benefits that are caused by application of steroids. Consumers of these drugs obtain endurance and increase their muscle mass. As a result, those that take part in competitions win medals. But there is  a negative piece of news here. Anabolic steroids, like any other products, can lead to negative consequences. Functions and even structure of several organs may be destroyed because of steroid use.
That’s why before using anabolic steroids it is important to know about each probable undesirable reaction that may appear on account of these medicines. It is a good idea to study information about these products before you make a final decision to administer them. You should know that several adverse reactions of these drugs may be even permanent.
It is also important to know instructions linked with application of steroids and follow them. Inappropriate administration may cause fatal unwanted effects.
There are also indications which note how you can reduce dangers linked with some undesirable effects or reduce their severity. Those that have appropriate trainings during administration of steroids, apply normal quantities, have appropriate nutrition and apply certain ancillary preparations for reduction of side reactions will not suffer from grave health problems.
Grave  negative results ordinarily trouble those who apply high measures and don’t follow other important instructions.
However it is stated that soon steroid use will become safe, you may observe that this time has not come yet. That’s why you must know about all possible dangers in order to prevent certain problems or at least to decrease severity.
The most common problems connected with intake of steroids are written below:
- liver disorders;
- kidney problems;
- skin troubles;
- cardiovascular disorders;
- psychological disorders;
- problems linked with reproductive system.
Why may be liver affected by steroids? Let see. Steroids contain toxins. 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 be developed. It is true also about kidneys that also play great role in excretion of toxins. It is known that toxins can be also excreted through skin. That’s why  typical side results of steroids include acne vulgaris, oily skin and other related problems.
Steroids may also enhance cholesterol levels; thus, 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 appear in steroid users. Even heart attacks may be caused by steroids.
Psychological health may be damaged by steroids as well. Those that administer these drugs may become aggressive; they may experience abnormal changes in mood and depression. Other mental problems may appear too.
As for reproductive system, it may be destructed too. Male users of steroids may experience shrinkage of testicles, changes in size of prostate, abnormal development of breast tissue, infertility, etc. Female consumers of steroids may face such problems, as enlargement of clitoris, hirsutism, menstrual problems, etc.
Unluckily, steroids can have negative impact on other systems too. Only the most typical adverse consequences are mentioned in the article.

New effective drugs that can help to escape from erectile dysfunctions

Several diseases occur in numerous people and destroy normal life. One of such conditions is erectile problems. This condition troubles 50% of men that are over the age of 40. Of course, this is an unpleasant condition that may affect relationships between partners. Males put great efforts to escape from this problem. There are several drugs that are indicated to cure erectile troubles. Viagra, Levitra and Cialis are claimed to be the best remedies for this need.
Several pharmaceutical companies understand that the medications which are administered for treatment of erectile problems are in a high demand. They receive 500-600 million dollars for the medications which efficiently work in case of this disorder in males. Thus, pharmaceutical companies see that they may receive even greater profits, if they elaborate new effective drugs for this purpose. Undoubtedly, scientists put efforts to do it.
Lately several new products to treat erectile dysfunctions have been developed. But they must get approval of the FDA before they may be bought and used legally. These medicines include Avanafil, Zoraxel, Zydena (Udenafil) and Bremenalotide.
Let present essential information about each of these medicines.
Vivus, a pharmaceutical company, has made the drug Avanafil. Several studies have manifested that benefits of this medicine are evident just 15 minutes after it has been administered. But the FDA has not yet approved this medication. Thus, it is needed to wait till its safety will be proven.
The company Rexahn Pharmaceuticals has developed the drug Zoraxel. It influences on the brain, treating erectile problems. It is said that this drug will get the FDA’s approval by 2013.
The medication Zydena has been developed by the Korean pharmaceutical company by Dong-A Pharmaceuticals. Several studies have shown that this is an efficient preparation which is able to cure erectile dysfunctions. While Malaysians and Russians may apply it, Americans don’t have access to this preparation because it has not been yet approved by the US FDA. It is confirmed that Zydena works more quickly than Viagra.
The product Bremelanotide has been created by the pharmaceutical company Palatin Technologies. This preparation has some priorities over others. It is utilizable for both men and women that suffer from sexual problems. Moreover, it can enhance sexual arousal and desire, influencing on central nervous system.
These are new medications which will be indicated to treat erectile troubles. We may hope that they will improve quality of men’s health.

Long-lasting effects of steroids associated with steroid use in teen years

If you belong to those that read news about steroids, you may confirm that almost every article notices about “roid rage” which is claimed to be one of the gravest undesirable effects of these medicines. Anabolic steroids are blamed for numerous violations, murders and other crimes. It is noticed that these medications may lead to uncontrolled aggression that leads to abnormal behavior. However it is not proven scientifically whether steroids may really cause “roid rage”, media reports about this unwanted reaction too often. Unluckily, several other dangerous unwanted results are rarely mentioned in news.
Teenagers should be especially informed about several specific negative effects which can trouble them, if they administer steroids in their teen years. The scientists Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark of the Giesel School of Medicine in Dartmouth claim that these preparations can have very negative influence on adolescents’ brains. These professors have conducted certain researches and made conclusions, basing on the results of their researches. These experts notice that steroids can cause in adolescents something more serious than uncontrolled aggression.
According to Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark, steroids are very dangerous for adolescents because this class of consumers may have certain specific severe negative consequences which don’t occur in adult consumers of steroids. The specialists affirm that steroids may affect the brain in adolescents. Thus, the brain’s structure and functions may be destroyed in adolescents because of steroids. Moreover, these adverse effects may be irreversible. It means that brain’s disorders that are manifested through unusual behavior may present even when the teenagers grow up. Thus, side psychological effects can be displayed even in their adulthood.
But it is important to note that the studies conducted by Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark have enrolled animals. So, these affirmations are made on the basis of animals’ reactions to steroid use. One may doubt whether effects of steroids on adolescents’ brains are the same as those on animals. Nevertheless, Leslie Henderson is sure that these statements are true for humans too.
Furthermore, it has been determined that undesirable reactions of steroids on adolescents are more lasting than those which occur in adult consumers of steroids.
Leslie Henderson works together with such professors, as Marie Onakomaiya, Donna Porter and Joseph Oberlander.
Leslie Henderson claims that it is evident that steroids affect teenagers’ behavior. As we know, the brain controls behavior. Since behavior is abnormal, the brain’s structure and functions are destroyed.
Thus, it is important to warn adolescents about all possible risks related to administration of steroids. If they know about these potential adverse reactions, they will be able to make a right decision linked with steroids.

Many retired baseball players think that steroid users should not be in Hall of Fame

What do retired baseball players affirm about intake of steroids? This is the question that is frequently asked by journalists and widely presented by media. Different persons have different ideas about this issue.
Recently certain retired players of the Major League Baseball were interviewed by some journalists who tried to learn opinions of the retired 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 consumers of steroids in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Later a journalist asked Wade Boggs about this issue as well. He played professional baseball for 18 years. He was asked whether steroid users could be allowed to be elected for the Hall of Fame. The former baseball player affirmed that consumers of steroids must not be chosen for the Hall Of Fame. According to his opinion, it is a bad message for American youth. No one should be allowed to be in the Hall of Fame and affirm that he is one of the most successful players because he has taken anabolic steroids. This is the bad message for the youth of the whole world.
As for the case linked with Roger Clemens, Boggs said nothing unpleasant about him.
Roger Clemens was accused of lying before the Congress about administration 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 opinion that Roger Clemens succeeded due to application of banned products.
While Wade Boggs said nothing negative about Roger Clemens, he had some harsh words about pitchers that administer steroids and take unfair advantages.

Top Olympic weightlifters tested positive for 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 medicines administered by these athletes. They administered non-steroidal drugs which are also banned under Code of the WADA.
Patrick Mendes tested positive for prohibited preparations in February 2012 before the United States Olympic Team Trials for Weightlifting set who would represent the US at the 2012 London Olympics. The weightlifter tested for HGH; as a result, he was sentenced to a suspension.
Joshua Gilbert tested positive for the diuretic medicine furosemide at the 2012 National Weightlifting Championships. It was in March 2012.
Furosemide is a drug which is applied by those that administer steroids in order to mask steroid use. Moreover, this preparation helps athletes to lose weight in order to correspond to certain weight classes.  Weightlifting, boxing and wrestling are sports that divide competitors to weight categories.
HGH and furosemide are drugs which 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 trained by John Broz. Broz lived and trained with the famous Bulgarian weightlifter Antonio Krastev during his career. Krastev broke a world record snatch of 216 kg in 1987. John Broz studied the Bulgarian system of trainings and brought certain methods to America. He founded own training facilities in Las Vegas.
Mendes went to 2-year suspension. As for Gilbert, he was suspended for 3 years.
The bans of these sportsmen are failure for “Average Broz’s Gym”. So, the greatest weightlifters were not allowed to represent their native country at the 2012 Olympic Games.

Unusual case of doping in British boxing

The boxer Larry “War Machine” Olubamiwo took certain 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 forbidden preparations. Metabolites of steroids were not discovered in his sample. The boxer tested positive for EPO. EPO represents a blood boosting product.
Long-term intake of forbidden 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 administration of 13 different banned preparations is a real success of the UKAD in the struggle against doping.  
Andy Parkinson claimed that it was an unusual case. The boxer took steroids and other related medications for long period of time without fear to destroy his health, career and reputation. He was sentenced to 4-year ban.
But the alarming aspect is following: Olumamiwo could avoid detection for prolonged time, despites essential efforts of anti-doping officers to “clean” sports from usage of doping drugs.
Olubamiwo was caught just because the UKAD was informed by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that he was implicated in an investigation connected with illicit sale of anabolic steroids and other doping 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 officers. He noted 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 ban of Olubamiwo manifest that anti-doping agencies 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 different banned substances for six years without being caught by anti-doping officers.

Newspapers accuse politician Linda McMahon of promotion of steroid use in WWE

Linda McMahon puts great efforts to demonstrate that she is a politician that deserves to be trusted. She tried to get rid of steroid scandals that have spoiled the reputation of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) throughout numerous years. Of course, her opponents always used opportunities to notice about serious problems related to administration 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 is owned by them. They received great profits due to the WWE Empire. One billion dollars was earned by the McMahons due to the business linked 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 politician spent about 50 million dollars on the campaign. But she didn’t get success. She lost to the Democratic Party. Nowadays she 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, numerous individuals started criticizing her for usage of steroids in the WWE.
 A newspaper affirms that McMahon loves to mention that she has created certain jobs but she doesn’t answers questions about the jobs. An article claims that the CEO of the WWE ridicules unintelligent men who 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 affirmed that the WWE cares about health of wrestlers and random drug testing demonstrates that the WWE is against application of steroids. At least 4 random tests are conducted per year for each wrestler. Those that test positive for prohibited products are suspended. Thus, the WWE bans administration of steroids. Furthermore, Brian Flinn has noted that the WWE has one of the best wellness systems in sports and entertainment.

Victor Conte: steroids are used in sports but lower doses are taken by athletes

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 noted that it is unlikely that the 2012 London Olympics would be free from application of steroids and other related products. The founder of BALCO confirmed in an interview that Olympic anti-doping testing policy had different flaws. So, consumers of steroids were also chosen to take part in the 2012 Olympic Games.
Conte doesn’t believe that intake of prohibited products has reduced. He doesn’t agree with individuals who affirm that low performance in various sports proves that steroids and other related medications are almost excluded from sports.
Conte notices that steroids are widely used now too. Efforts of anti-doping agencies led to adoption of athletes. So, athletes don’t use as increased dosages as have been administered before.  Nevertheless, administration of steroids and other prohibited medications continues to be a problem.
Conte is sure that athletes don’t apply such designer steroids, as THG. Instead of applying such medications, sportspersons apply 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 available in form of creams, gels, patches and injections, it is widely administered by sportspeople. Moreover, not too high quantities of testosterone are needed in order to obtain dramatic results. This steroid is widespread among professional baseball players.
Conte criticizes anti-doping system. He claims that anti-doping agencies have evident ambiguities. Even a truck may go through loopholes which are in doping laws, according to the founder of BALCO.

Media exaggerates some cases, transforming them into steroid scandals

Media is used to exaggerate any case linked with steroids in sports and bodybuilding. Many facts are described in misleading ways. So, steroid scandals appear without any reason. A case is presented below.
Rano Izhar, the president of the Singapore Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (SBFF), has acknowledged that he provided recommendations related to intake of anabolic steroids.
Any person that belongs to the world of bodybuilding knows that steroids, HGH and certain other related medicines are widely spread and applied by bodybuilders. Several news websites have written many articles, presenting the actions of the SBFF president as a steroid scandal. But be careful! He has not sold anabolic steroids, he has just disseminated information.
”The New Paper”, a Singapore’s newspaper”, revealed emails between a bodybuilder and the president of the SBFF that were written before Izhar was chosen to be the president. Izhar provided indications 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 included in the cycles.
Izhar affirmed that the instructions were just for his friend that was an amateur bodybuilder. Furthermore, he was not the president of the SBFF, when he supplied his friend with the information.
Izhar’s friend was going to administer steroids. It was his friend’s decision. Izhar didn’t promote it. He just desired to help his friend. He wished he took steroids in the safest way.
Izhar acknowledged that he had provided recommendations related to steroid cycles. He confirmed that he needed to tell his friend which medicines were effective and which drugs didn’t work well. Izhar added that when anyone asked him about ways to take steroids, it meant that they would use them, regardless of the answer. So, the president just felt that he had to notice at least the most important aspects which should be known about steroids.
Izhar has gotten the degree of Doctor in “lifestyle medicine” at the Harvard Medical School. He realized that he had to do everything he could for reduction of harm for those that take steroids and other related medications.

US DEA helped to bust huge underground lab in Poland

Anyone must have observed that the US tries to bust international companies that advertise steroids on internet and send them to clients around the world.
Recently the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has co-worked with Polish police officers in order to catch persons that have been suspected in shipment of steroids and other illegal medications to different countries of the world.
This investigation started about one year ago. The polish Border Guard Straz Graniczna intercepted huge amounts of steroids that were sent to individuals in the US and Canada. Injectable and oral steroids were seized at the Warsaw mail terminal.
Straz Graniczna worked together with US DEA. Finally two men from Poland were arrested. 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 over 14, 000 US dollars were found in this person’s car. But it was only the beginning of seizures.
It was determined that an apartment located in Warsaw was a base of the underground lab that manufactured steroids that are usually administered by American bodybuilders. When police officers raided the apartment, they discovered drug paraphernalia there. The apartment was utilized not only for manufacture of steroids but also for keeping of ready steroids. About 666, 000 steroid tablets, 19, 000 vials of steroids and more than 5, 000 steroid ampoules were seized during the search. The medications were estimated. The cost was claimed to be 6 million Polish zloty or 1, 8 million US dollars.
It is believed that the US will ask Polish authorities to extradite these two persons.
The USA becomes aggressive, when it comes to war on steroids. International steroid rings are busted.
But the US doesn’t have essential success working with Europe and Asia. The US presses other countries to arrest and extradite distributors of steroids.
Distributors of steroids who were related to British Dragon and Musclebear were arrested and extradited to the US from Thailand and Cyprus.
The US pressed Austria to arrest the steroid dealer Mihael Karner. Thus, he was arrested. Then the USA asked Austrian authorities to extradite him to the US. But federal prosecutors didn’t have success that time. Karner paid one million Euros to Austrian authorities to avoid the extradition and arrive to his home country Slovenia.

Federal prosecutors criticize Roger Clemens jurors

Names of twelve individuals (four men and eight women) who served as jury at the governmental case against the former baseball player 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 administration of steroids and HGH. But since the jury didn’t believe it, the government criticized the individuals who served as the jury. Several individuals who served as 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.
The political activist Joyce Robinson-Paul was interviewed by the New York Daily News some days after the verdict. She noticed that the jurors comprehended that they had to be fair to both the government and the sportsman. But they didn’t find anything that had to be pursued.  Later she also confirmed that the  federal prosecutors were not able to prove their suspicions.
Bradford Weaver, an employee of the Canadian Embassy stated that the government acted wrongly. This person noted that such situations should not happen again. This person also noticed that there was nothing to be prosecuted. He was interviewed by the Associated Press. He also affirmed that each juror understood from the very beginning that Roger Clemens was not proven guilty of any charge. Bradford Weaver reminded that each juror was unanimous.
The employee of the Canadian Embassy was also asked whether he thought that Roger Clemens really applied steroids. The Associated Press also asked him whether he believed that the governmental case against the athlete represented only the waste of taxpayers’ funds. But he refused to answer the questions.
Another juror that chose not to be identified stated that the jurors didn’t comprehend how the government could spend huge sums of money during 5 years in order to pursue the baseball player. This person claimed that it was impossible to understand why the prosecution took place 5 years.
Other jurors didn’t provide any information.
As for feds, they seemed to be wholly disappointed. They declined to respond to the statements pronounced by the jurors.
