Testimonies of the famous toxicologist Bruce Goldberger will probably influence greatly on decision of the court in the case connected with Roger Clemens. Bruce Goldberger is the Professor of Pathology and Director of Toxicology at the University of Florida College of Medicine. This expert testified on behalf of Roger Clemens. 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 which are ordinarily provided by anti-doping agencies. He testified on behalf of the accused sportsman.
Bruce Goldberger is known due to his participation in different news programs. Even during such programs he doesn’t refrain from criticism. He criticized several anti-doping organizations, including the WADA.
The toxicologist expressed critical words for feds in the case linked 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 coach of Roger Clemens, presented a beer can with utilized 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. Bruce Goldberger noticed that such basis was not reasonable.
Bruce Goldberger claimed that it was impossible to base on “beer can evidence”. He noted that the accusation couldn’t be proven because the theory of contamination could present.
Thus, Goldberger didn’t support the evidence used by the governmental agents. Earlier the toxicologist also expressed criticism connected with evidence applied by some anti-doping agencies.
Certain 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 situated in France discovered traces of exogenous testosterone; T: E ratio and carbon isotope ratio tests were utilized by the lab. Bruce Goldberger expressed similar words and criticism during the appeal linked with Floyd Landis.
Goldberger said during an interview that the WADA utilized unsuitable methods and violated rights of athletes in order to reach the success in anti-doping programs.
As for Floyd Landis, he didn’t have success in his appeal and admitted that he had applied steroids, EPO and some other related medicines.
No one knows which results will be achieved by Roger Clemens. Will the government prove that he has lied before the Congress? Will he admit to using banned medications? Or will be the results contrary?
