Rusty Hardin: lack of changes in physical appearance of Roger Clemens proves that he hasn’t used steroids

Every baseball fan knows that Roger Clemens is accused in obstruction of justice. It is said that he has lied before Congress about administration of steroids and HGH.
The attorney Rusty Hardin pointed out that there was no any difference in physical appearance of Roger Clemens before, during and after his working with the coach Brian McNamee. The attorney affirmed that this aspect proved that Roger Clemens hadn’t administered steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
Appearance of muscles is usually utilized by prosecutors as proof that an athlete applied steroids or/and other related medicines. But this tendency was not used during the case against Roger Clemens. No one could confirm that Roger Clemens’ muscles displayed that he had taken steroids and HGH. It is a difference between the case against Roger Clemens and that against Barry Bonds.
When it comes to the governmental case against Barry Bonds, prosecutors called numerous individuals in the trial that could testify that anabolic steroids caused substantial changes in physical appearance of this athlete. They confirmed that administration of steroids caused enhancement of muscle size, enhanced size of the head and testicular shrinkage in Barry Bonds.
So, Rusty Hardin provided four photos of Roger Clemens. The photos were made four different times during the baseball career of Roger Clemens, including the period of time when Clemens was working with Brian McNamee. Hardin pointed out that the pictures displayed that there was no difference in physical changes that could manifest that he used steroids and HGH.
Rusty Hardin noticed that the pictures manifested only the process of ageing. The masseur Cheryl Redfern also claimed that she didn’t observe any changes in physique of Roger Clemens. Roger Clemens experienced neither back acne, nor abnormal development of breast tissue, nor essentially enhanced muscle size.
The former Major League Baseball player Phil Garner also confirmed that there were not any significant changes in physical appearance and performance of Roger Clemens during working with Brian McNamee.
Steve Durham, the Assistant US Attorney put efforts to discredit the affirmation about lack of changes in Roger Clemens’ physical appearance during the cross-examination of the former baseball player Phil Garner. He noted that while some steroids enhanced muscle mass, others didn’t induce enhancing muscles. Thus, he affirmed that the photos could display nothing about steroid use.
Feds desire to take advantages in both cases: in the case against Roger Clemens and in that against Barry Bonds. While they claim that physical changes in Barry Bonds manifest that he has used steroids, lack of physical changes in Roger Clemens doesn’t prove that he hasn’t administered steroids.
