Steroid investigations and power of money

Does money cause happiness? Of course, it doesn’t. But money has great power. Although it can’t make you happy, it has capacity to help to avoid imprisonment in several cases. Let analyze the cases related to Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. Someone has probably thought that these sportsmen will lose. But you should remember that rich guys don’t lose. Since they have money, they have a lot of chances to win.
Barry Bonds was accused of lying to a grand jury. He claimed under the oath that he had never administered any forbidden substances. It seemed that Barry Bonds’ cheating was evident and he would be sentenced to jail. But remember: this athlete 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 claimed that he had never used any prohibited substances. Finally, the athlete was cleared of all charges. Roger Clemens didn’t lose too.
These cases display power of money. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have hired the most experienced defense attorneys. Of course, you need much money in order to engage the wisest defense attorneys. Since Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have money, they could employ Albert Pujols, Allen Ruby or Rustin Hardy. So, it is not surprisingly that feds have lost under these circumstances.
Feds lost also in other cases. For example, let mention the case against the prominent American cyclist Lance Armstrong. The government made the decision 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 minor results in the cases related to Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
Thus, if you are a professional athlete, you may administer steroids and/or other related medications, if you have money. You should be rich enough to avoid imprisonment. Otherwise, you will be dishonored and punished appropriately.
