Does money bring happiness? Undoubtedly, it doesn’t. But money possesses significant power. However it can’t bring happiness, it can help to avoid prison in some situations. Let analyze the cases connected with Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. Someone has probably thought that these individuals will lose. But you should remember that rich guys are unlikely to lose. Since they have money, they have a lot of possibilities to win.
Barry Bonds was charged with lying to a grand jury. He claimed under the oath that he had never administered any banned medicines. It seemed that Barry Bonds’ cheating became evident and he would go to prison. But don’t forget: this sportsman 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 as well. He affirmed that he had never administered any forbidden medicines. Ultimately, the sportsman was cleared of all charges. Roger Clemens didn’t lose as well.
These cases demonstrate power of money. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have employed the most experienced defense attorneys. Undoubtedly, you need much money in order to engage the most experienced defense attorneys. Since Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have money, they could employ Albert Pujols, Allen Ruby or Rustin Hardy. So, it is naturally that federal prosecutors have lost under these circumstances.
Feds lost also in other cases. For example, let mention 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 just insignificant results in the cases connected with Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
Thus, if you are a professional sportsman/sportswoman, you may take steroids and/or other related preparations, if you have money. You should be rich enough to avoid jail. Otherwise, you will be dishonored and punished appropriately.
