Testimonies of the prominent toxicologist Bruce Goldberger will probably influence significantly 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 specialist didn’t testify on behalf of the government. Although he was invited in order to replace Don Catlin, the director of the WADA UCLA Medicine, Goldberger’s testimonies didn’t correspond to those that are ordinarily provided by anti-doping organizations. This toxicologist testified on behalf of the accused sportsperson.
Bruce Goldberger has gained his celebrity due to his appearing on different news programs. Even during such programs he doesn’t abstain from critical words. He criticized certain anti-doping agencies, including the WADA.
Bruce Goldberger expressed criticism for federal prosecutors in the case related to Roger Clemens. They based on “beer can evidence” provided by McNamee to support that his client utilized steroids and HGH. Brian McNamee, the former personal trainer of this sportsman, presented a beer can containing utilized needles and syringes which had traces of such steroids, as Sustanon, Primobolan Depot and Deca Durabolin and were mixed allegedly with Clemens’ blood. The beer can was maintained by McNamee more than 6 years. The toxicologist noticed that such basis was not reasonable.
Bruce Goldberger confirmed 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 affirmations of the governmental agents. Earlier he also expressed criticism linked with evidence utilized by some anti-doping organizations.
Some years ago the toxicologist Bruce Goldberger testified on behalf of the American cyclist Floyd Landis, when this athlete 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 used by the lab. Bruce Goldberger expressed similar words and criticism during the appeal related to Floyd Landis.
The toxicologist Bruce Goldberger noticed during an interview that the WADA utilized unsuitable ways and violated rights of sportspeople in order to have the success in anti-doping programs.
As for Floyd Landis, he didn’t have success in his appeal and admitted that he had administered steroids, EPO and some other related products.
No one knows which results will be reached 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 opposite?
