Testimonies of the prominent toxicologist Bruce Goldberger will probably impact greatly on decision of the court in the case related to 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 which are commonly presented by anti-doping organizations. This toxicologist testified on behalf of the accused sportsman.
Bruce Goldberger has gained his celebrity due to his participation in various 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 feds in the case linked with Roger Clemens. They based on “beer can evidence” provided by Brian McNamee to prove that his client took steroids and HGH. Brian McNamee, the former personal trainer of Roger Clemens, 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. McNamee was keeping the beer can over 6 years. Bruce Goldberger noticed that such basis wasn’t reasonable.
Goldberger claimed that it was impossible to base on “beer can evidence”. He explained that no one could prove that Roger Clemens used steroids and HGH, basing on the beer can, because the theory of contamination could present.
So, the toxicologist Bruce Goldberger didn’t support the evidence used by the feds. Earlier the toxicologist also expressed criticism connected with evidence applied by certain anti-doping agencies.
Certain years ago 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 found traces of exogenous testosterone; T: E ratio and carbon isotope ratio tests were utilized by the lab. Bruce Goldberger used similar words and criticism during the appeal connected with Floyd Landis.
The toxicologist Bruce Goldberger confirmed during an interview that the WADA used unsuitable ways and violated rights of athletes in order to have the success in anti-doping programs.
Floyd Landis didn’t have success in his appeal and admitted that he had administered steroids, EPO and certain other related drugs.
Nobody can be sure which results will be reached by Roger Clemens. Will the government prove that he has lied before the Congress? Will he admit to taking forbidden medicines? Or will be the results contrary?
