Lack of changes in physical appearance of Roger Clemens is used by his defense attorney

Every baseball fan knows that Roger Clemens is accused in obstruction of justice. It is claimed that he has lied before Congress about application of steroids and HGH.
The attorney Rusty Hardin noted that Roger Clemens’ physical appearance didn’t change greatly before, during and after his working with Brian McNamee. The attorney affirmed that this factor proved that Roger Clemens hadn’t administered steroids and other related medicines.
Increase of muscle mass is normally used by prosecutors as proof that a person applied steroids or/and other related preparations. But this tendency was not used during the governmental case against Roger Clemens. Nobody could affirm that Roger Clemens’ muscles manifested that he had applied steroids and HGH. It is one of differences between the cases against Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds.
As for the governmental case against Barry Bonds, prosecutors called many persons in the trial that could testify that anabolic steroids led to essential changes in physical appearance of this sportsperson. They confirmed that administration of steroids led to enhancement of muscle mass, enhanced size of the head and testicular shrinkage in Barry Bonds.
Thus, the defense attorney Rusty Hardin presented four photos of Roger Clemens. The photos displayed physical appearance of Roger Clemens, including the period of time when Clemens was working with the coach Brain McNamee. The attorney noticed that the photos manifested that there were no changes in physical appearance that could manifest that he applied steroids and HGH.
The defense attorney for Roger Clemens noticed that the photos manifested just the process of ageing. The masseur Cheryl Redfern noticed that she didn’t observe any changes in physique of Roger Clemens. Roger Clemens had neither back acne, nor gynecomastia, nor essentially increased muscles.
Phil Garner a former Major League Baseball player also confirmed that there were not any obvious changes in physical appearance and performance of Roger Clemens during working with Brian McNamee.
Steve Durham, the Assistant US Attorney put efforts to discredit the affirmation about lack of physical changes in Roger Clemens during the cross-examination of Garner. He claimed that while some steroids enhanced muscle size, others didn’t promote increasing muscles. So, he claimed that the pictures could say nothing about steroid use.
Feds want to take advantages in both cases: in the case against Roger Clemens and in that against Barry Bonds. While they confirm that physical changes in Barry Bonds display that he has applied steroids, lack of physical changes in Roger Clemens doesn’t prove that he hasn’t taken steroids.
