Testimonies of the well-known toxicologist Bruce Goldberger will probably influence greatly on decision of the court in the case linked 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 invited in order to replace Don Catlin, the director of the WADA UCLA Medicine, Goldberger’s testimonies differed from those that are commonly provided by anti-doping agencies. This toxicologist testified on behalf of the accused baseball player.
Bruce Goldberger has gotten his celebrity due to his participation in different news programs. Even during such programs he doesn’t refrain from critical words. Bruce Goldberger criticized some anti-doping agencies, including the WADA.
Bruce Goldberger expressed critical words for feds in the case linked with Roger Clemens. They based on “beer can evidence” provided by McNamee to prove that Roger Clemens took steroids and HGH. Brian McNamee, the former personal coach of this sportsperson, presented a beer can containing used needles and syringes which had traces of such steroids, as Sustanon, Primobolan Depot and Deca Durabolin and were mixed allegedly with Roger Clemens’ blood. The beer can was kept by McNamee over 6 years. The toxicologist noted that such basis wasn’t reasonable.
Goldberger claimed that it was impossible to base on “beer can evidence”. He noticed 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, Bruce Goldberger didn’t support the affirmations of the government. Earlier he also expressed criticism related to evidence used by some anti-doping organizations.
Certain years ago Bruce Goldberger testified on behalf of the American cyclist Floyd Landis, when this sportsman appealed positives for steroids. A WADA-accredited lab located in France found traces of exogenous testosterone; T: E ratio and carbon isotope ratio tests were applied by the lab. Bruce Goldberger expressed similar words and criticism during the appeal related to Floyd Landis.
Bruce Goldberger noticed during an interview that the WADA utilized inadequate methods and violated rights of athletes in order to achieve the success in anti-doping programs.
As for Floyd Landis, he lost his appeal and acknowledged that he had administered steroids, EPO and certain other related medications.
No one can be sure 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?
