Director of Toxicology at University of Florida testifies on behalf of Roger Clemens

Testimonies of the celebrated 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. Although he was called in order to replace Don Catlin, the director of the WADA UCLA Medicine, Goldberger’s testimonies didn’t correspond to those that are commonly provided by anti-doping agencies. He 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 criticism. Bruce Goldberger criticized several anti-doping agencies, including the WADA.
The toxicologist expressed criticism for federal prosecutors in the case connected with Roger Clemens. They based on “beer can evidence” presented by Brian McNamee to prove that Roger Clemens used steroids and HGH. Brian McNamee, the former personal trainer of this baseball player, presented a beer can with used needles and syringes that had traces of such steroids, as Sustanon, Primobolan Depot and Deca Durabolin and were mixed allegedly with blood of Roger Clemens. The beer can was stored by McNamee more than 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 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.
So, Bruce Goldberger didn’t support the evidence used by the governmental agents. Earlier he also expressed criticism connected with evidence applied by several anti-doping agencies.
Some years ago 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 applied by the lab. Bruce Goldberger pronounced similar words and criticism during the appeal related to Floyd Landis.
Goldberger claimed during an interview that the WADA used inadequate methods and violated rights of sportspersons in order to reach the success in anti-doping programs.
Floyd Landis didn’t have success in his appeal and admitted that he had administered steroids, EPO and some other related medications.
No one can be sure which results will be reached by Roger Clemens. Will the federal prosecutors prove that he has lied before the Congress? Will he admit to doping? Or will be the results opposite?
