Testimonies of the celebrated toxicologist Bruce Goldberger will probably influence 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 expert didn’t testify on behalf of the government. However he was invited in order to replace Don Catlin, the director of the WADA UCLA Medicine, Goldberger’s testimonies differed from those which are commonly provided by anti-doping organizations. This toxicologist testified on behalf of the accused sportsperson.
Bruce Goldberger has gotten his celebrity due to his participation in different news programs. Even during such programs he doesn’t abstain from critical words. Bruce Goldberger criticized several anti-doping organizations, including the WADA.
Bruce Goldberger criticized feds in the case related to Roger Clemens. They based on “beer can evidence” presented by Brian McNamee to support that his client took steroids and HGH. Brian McNamee, the former personal coach of this sportsperson, provided a beer can containing used 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 kept by McNamee over 6 years. The toxicologist argued that such basis wasn’t reasonable.
Bruce Goldberger claimed 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, Bruce Goldberger didn’t support the affirmations of the governmental agents. Earlier the toxicologist also expressed criticism related to evidence applied by several anti-doping organizations.
Some years ago Bruce Goldberger testified on behalf of Floyd Landis, an American celebrated cyclist, when this sportsperson 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 used by the lab. Goldberger used similar words and criticism during the appeal linked with Floyd Landis.
Bruce Goldberger noted during an interview that the WADA utilized unsuitable ways and violated rights of sportspersons in order to achieve the success in anti-doping programs.
As for Floyd Landis, he lost his appeal and admitted that he had administered steroids, EPO and some other related medications.
Nobody knows which results will be reached by Roger Clemens. Will the government prove that he has lied before the Congress? Will he admit to taking prohibited drugs? Or will be the results contrary?
