Testimonies of the celebrated toxicologist Bruce Goldberger will probably impact essentially on decision of the court in the case against Roger Clemens. Bruce Goldberger is the Professor of Pathology and Director of Toxicology at the University of Florida College of Medicine. This specialist testified on behalf of Roger Clemens. Although 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 usually presented by anti-doping organizations. He testified on behalf of the accused sportsman.
Bruce Goldberger has gained his celebrity due to his appearing on different news programs. Even during such programs he doesn’t abstain from critical words. He criticized certain anti-doping agencies, including the WADA.
Bruce Goldberger expressed critical words for federal prosecutors in the case linked with Roger Clemens. They based on “beer can evidence” provided by McNamee to support that his client applied steroids and HGH. Brian McNamee, the former personal trainer of this sportsperson, presented a beer can containing utilized needles and syringes which had traces of such steroids, as Sustanon, Primobolan Depot and Deca Durabolin and were mixed allegedly with Clemens’ blood. The beer can was stored by McNamee more than 6 years. The toxicologist noted that such basis wasn’t reasonable.
Goldberger confirmed that it was impossible to base on “beer can evidence”. He added that no one could prove that Roger Clemens used steroids and HGH, basing on the beer can, because the theory of contamination could present.
Thus, Goldberger didn’t support the affirmations of the federal prosecutors. Earlier he also expressed criticism connected with evidence utilized by certain anti-doping agencies.
Some years ago the toxicologist Bruce Goldberger testified on behalf of Floyd Landis, an American celebrated cyclist, when this sportsperson appealed positives for steroids. A WADA-accredited lab situated in France discovered traces of exogenous testosterone; T: E ratio and carbon isotope ratio tests were utilized by the lab. Bruce Goldberger used similar words and criticism during the appeal linked with Floyd Landis.
Goldberger confirmed during an interview that the WADA utilized unsuitable ways and violated rights of sportspeople in order to achieve the success in anti-doping programs.
As for Floyd Landis, he lost his appeal and admitted that he had applied steroids, EPO and several other related preparations.
Nobody knows which results will be achieved by Roger Clemens. Will the federal prosecutors prove that he has lied before the Congress? Will he admit to taking prohibited drugs? Or will be the results opposite?
