Why didn’t Roger Clements and Barry Bonds lose?

Does money leads to happiness? Undoubtedly, it doesn’t. But money possesses essential power. Although it can’t make you happy, it is able to help to avoid imprisonment in several cases. Let review the cases connected with Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. One has probably thought that these sportspersons will lose. But you should remember that rich guys are unlikely to lose. Since they have money, they have many chances to win.
Barry Bonds was charged with lying to a grand jury. He claimed under the oath that he had never used any banned remedies. It seemed that Barry Bonds’ cheating was evident and he would go to jail. But remember: this sportsman has much money. However he was convicted for obstruction of justice, he received only house arrest and community service. Moreover, he appealed even this light sentencing.
Roger Clemens, another baseball player, was accused of lying under oath too. He affirmed that he had never used any banned remedies. Ultimately, the sportsman was cleared of all charges. Roger Clemens didn’t lose as well.
These cases show power of money. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have hired the wisest defense attorneys. Of course, you need much money in order to engage the most experienced defense attorneys. Since Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have money, they could hire Albert Pujols, Allen Ruby or Rustin Hardy. Thus, it is not surprisingly that federal prosecutors have lost under these circumstances.
Feds lost also in other cases. For example, let note the case against the legendary American cyclist Lance Armstrong. The government decided to drop the case because it would lose.
Although the government spent much money for these cases, it couldn’t win. Federal prosecutors had just insignificant results in the cases against Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
So, if you are a professional sportsman/sportswoman, you may administer anabolic steroids and/or other related remedies, if you have money. You should be rich enough to avoid jail. Otherwise, you will be discredited and punished appropriately.
