Tests for banned medicines conducted by WADA are not reliable

Recently Alan Abramson wrote an article where he noted whether tests conducted by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) were reliable.
The WADA conducts more and more tests for steroids and other related medicines each year. It seems that those that apply steroids and/or other related drugs are caught. You may believe that the world of sports and bodybuilding will be soon cleansed from application of forbidden medications. For example, numerous tests for forbidden medicines have been conducted at the 2012 London Olympics.
But certain questions appear here. Are these tests sophisticated enough to catch any sportsperson who dopes? Are these tests reliable?
Let meditate over results of some tests. In 2010 the WADA published statistics according which 258,267 samples were analyzed by 35 WADA-accredited labs. Out of these samples 4,820 results represented atypical findings. About 60 % of positives indicated about intake of steroids. Numerous positives were for cannibinoids. 10 % positives indicated about application of marijuana. As you observe, just 60% out of those who administered forbidden drugs applied steroids. Is it real? Don’t show the results of the tests that the WADA doesn’t do the job properly?
The former president of the WADA Dick Pound believes that at least 10 % of athletes that took part in the 2012 London Olympics used steroids. He affirms that those steroid users that are not clever are caught by anti-doping agencies. He also notes that a sportsperson who has been caught using banned drugs will fail an IQ test. He concludes that only unwise sportspeople can’t avoid detection.
Thus, when you hear that the WADA has conducted numerous tests to make sports clean, think whether these affirmations are true. Is able the WADA to make competitions fair? Why does the WADA publicize about number of tests?
It seems that the WADA only wants to convince people that the job is done appropriately. The WADA wants to secure future funds. This is the reality.

Clever steroid users are not caught by anti-doping agencies

There are controversial opinions about anabolic steroids. Consumers praise these preparations because they cause essential benefits. Experts conduct different studies, trying to define whether these medicines are safe for administration. Sports organizations ban application of these drugs because they have significant influence on performance. When it comes to governments of certain countries, they have made purchases, application and sale of anabolic steroids illicit. Thus, those that are caught violating these laws may be enforced to pay a fine and/or go to jail.
You may come across a lot of articles that demonize steroids for several crimes. Although there are numerous statements about these drugs, the most of people don’t comprehend the nature of these preparations.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids can enhance muscle mass and help to gain significant strength. While anabolic features of these medications induce creating new muscles, androgenic properties are responsible for development of male sexual characteristics.
What induced introduction of these medications? It is known that there were numerous battles between various cultures since ancient time. Thus, different cultures tried to think up something that could help soldiers to be brave and have strength enough to win. They utilized rhinoceros horn, shark tooth and other certain extracts. Later testicles of animals began to be researched. It promoted elaboration of anabolic steroids.
 The hormone androstenone was isolated from numerous other substances in 1930 for the first time by the scientist Adolf Butenandt. Then other hormones were synthesized. By 1939 testosterone was synthesized for the first time.
1940s and 1950s were years of significant steroid development. Many studies were conducted in various countries in the whole world. Specialists studied influence of these drugs on performance of sportspersons and bodybuilders. Several physicians promoted usage of steroids among professional sportspeople. John Ziegler was one of them. He administered Dianabol to Olympic athletes.
Steroids were also widely taken in sports and bodybuilding in 1960s and in 1970. Over 50 % Olympic athletes used these medicines. Although new kinds of tests were introduced by anti-doping officials, it was impossible to combat taking these medicines by athletes.
Nowadays more sophisticated tests for steroids and other related drugs have been introduced. Despites, these medications are still widely used in the world of sports and bodybuilding. Clever consumers know some ways to apply steroids without being caught.

80% of steroid users are non-competitive bodybuilders

It is affirmed that the most of steroid users are professional sportspersons and high school students that are involved in sports. It seems to be true because anabolic steroids are capable to induce increasing muscle mass and strength. These are effects which are valuable for athletes because they put efforts to win competitions. Moreover, you come across numerous articles that describe steroid scandals that occur in sports: in Major League Baseball, National Football League, Olympics, etc. You become convinced that steroids are such preparations which are chiefly spread in sports. You also read many pieces of news that note about administration of performance-enhancing drugs by high school students that look at professional sportspeople and desire to become so famous, as they are.
But the sportswriter Lena Butler confirms that the most part of steroid users are not sportspersons. The most of steroid users are bodybuilders who don’t participate in any competitions. So, 80% of steroid users are non-competitive bodybuilders. The most of them are young: over the age 25. These are individuals who work as military professionals, police officers, etc. Thus, these are those who have such jobs that require strength. These individuals administer steroids for enhancement of their strength and do their jobs appropriately.
It is also interesting to mention that a lot of individuals who have own business use steroids. They have sufficient money to look attractively. Thus, they administer steroids to improve physique and escape from aging signs.
As for high school students who are involved in sports, they use steroids because they desire to succeed in sports. These individuals desire to win competitions, become famous and receive millions of dollars. Steroid-using well-known sportspersons have significant influence on the decision of high school students to take steroids. Actually, it is unsafe. Health of high school students may be destroyed because of steroids obviously. Unluckily, this class of steroid users doesn’t desire to alter their attitudes to steroids. However they are warned about risks linked with steroids for young consumers, they continue to administer steroids. The number of high school students that use these preparations rises. If some years ago 1% of high school students administered steroids, today the number is doubled.
However there is a tendency to demonize steroids, it is necessary to remember that these medications are taken not only for enhancement of performance. They are utilizable in medicine. Doctors recommend these medicines for persons who suffer from various health problems. These drugs are prescribed for patients with cancer. HIV/AIDS- individuals administer steroids in order to prevent muscle wasting. These medicines efficiently treat other conditions as well.

Common problems linked with usage of steroids

No one can contest positive effects that are caused by administration of steroids. Users of these products gain strength and increase their muscle mass. As a result, those who compete in sports win awards. But there is  a negative piece of news here. Anabolic steroids, like any other products, can lead to unwanted results. Functions and even structure of some organs can be destroyed on account of steroid use.
That’s why before using anabolic steroids it is needed to know about every possible undesirable reaction that may occur on account of these medicines.

Serious  undesirable results usually trouble those that administer high dosages and don’t follow other important instructions.
However it is confirmed that soon usage of steroids will become safe, you may see that this time has not come yet. That’s why you should know about all possible dangers in order to prevent some troubles or at least to reduce severity.
The most usual troubles linked with application of steroids are enumerated below:
- liver troubles;
- kidney diseases;
- skin troubles;
- cardiovascular problems;
- psychological troubles;
- troubles linked with reproductive system.
Why may be liver functions destroyed by steroids? Let notice. Toxins are contained in steroids. The body tries to excrete them. Liver participates in this process actively.  Thus, its functions may be destructed because of the toxins contained in steroids. Cysts and tumors may be developed. It is true also about kidneys which also play essential role in excretion of toxins. It is known that toxins may be also excreted through skin. That’s why  usual negative consequences of steroids include acne formation, oily skin and other related troubles.
Steroids may also increase cholesterol levels; so, arteries around the heart are blocked; blood clots appear. The heart becomes unable to circulate the blood through the body appropriately. High blood pressure may also appear in consumers of steroids. Even heart attacks may be caused by steroid use.
Psychological health may be damaged by steroids as well. Those who apply these remedies may become aggressive; they may suffer from abnormal changes in mood and depression. Other mental problems may appear as well.
As for reproductive system, it may be damaged as well. Male users of steroids may experience shrunken testicles, hypertrophy of prostate, gynecomastia, infertility, etc. Female users of steroids may face such troubles, as clitoral hypertrophy, excessive hair growth on body, menstrual problems, etc.
Unluckily, steroids can influence on other systems negatively too. Just the most typical adverse results are mentioned in the article.

Men’s health can be improved by new drugs

Certain health troubles appear in numerous people and destroy good life. One of such problems is erectile troubles. This trouble troubles 50% of males who are over 40 years old. Undoubtedly, this is a problem that may destroy relations between partners. Men try to get rid of this condition. There are some drugs which are prescribed to treat erectile dysfunctions.

Numerous pharmaceutical companies comprehend that the preparations that are indicated for treatment of erectile dysfunctions are in a high demand. They get 500-600 million dollars for the products which are recommended in case of this dysfunction in men. So, pharmaceutical companies see that they can get even greater profits, if they develop new efficacious preparations for this purpose. Undoubtedly, specialists try to do it.
Recently certain new drugs to cure erectile dysfunctions have been created. But they must get approval of the FDA before they may be purchased and used legally. These preparations include Avanafil, Zoraxel, Zydena (Udenafil) and Bremenalotide.
Let provide essential information about each of these products.
The pharmaceutical company Vivus has developed the product Avanafil. Certain studies have demonstrated that positive effects of this drug are felt just 15 minutes after it has been applied. But the FDA has not yet approved this preparation. So, it is required to wait till its safety will be proven.
The company Rexahn Pharmaceuticals has created the preparation Zoraxel. It influences on the brain, helping to get rid of erectile dysfunctions. It is said that this medication will get the FDA’s approval by 2013.
The preparation Zydena has been created by the Korean pharmaceutical company by Dong-A Pharmaceuticals.

These are new products for treatment of erectile problems. We may hope that they will be able to improve quality of males’ health.

Essential information about impact of steroids on teenagers’ brains

If you are interested in news about steroids, you may observe that almost every article notes about “roid rage” which is claimed to be one of the most dangerous side reactions of these medications. Anabolic steroids are blamed for numerous violations, murders and other crimes. It is said that these medicines may cause uncontrolled aggression which is responsible for abnormal behavior. Although it is not proven scientifically whether steroids may really lead to “roid rage”, media notices about this unwanted consequence very frequently. Unluckily, certain other grave adverse reactions are rarely mentioned in articles.
Teenagers should be especially informed about certain specific unwanted results which may appear in them, if they use steroids in their teen years. The scientists Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark of the Giesel School of Medicine in Dartmouth claim that these medicines can have very negative impact on adolescents’ brains. These specialists have conducted several researches and made conclusions, basing on the results of their studies. These specialists affirm that steroids may cause in adolescents something severer than uncontrolled aggression.
According to Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark, steroids are too dangerous for adolescents because this group of consumers may have several specific dangerous undesirable consequences which don’t trouble adult steroid users. The experts claim that steroids can affect the brain in teenagers. So, the brain’s structure and functions can be destroyed in teenagers because of steroids. Moreover, these undesirable results may be irreversible. It means that brain’s disorders that are displayed through abnormal behavior may present even when the adolescents grow up. Thus, negative psychological effects may be manifested even in their adulthood.
But it is important to notice that the studies conducted by Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark have enrolled animals. Thus, these statements are made on the basis of animals’ reactions to steroid use. One may doubt whether effects of steroids on teenagers’ brains are the same as those on animals. Nevertheless, Leslie Henderson is sure that these conclusions are true for humans too.
Furthermore, it has been determined that undesirable effects of steroids on adolescents are more lasting than those which occur in adult consumers of steroids.
Leslie Henderson works together with such specialists, as Marie Onakomaiya, Donna Porter and Joseph Oberlander.
Leslie Henderson claims that it is seen that steroids affect adolescents’ behavior. As we know, behavior is controlled by brain. Since behavior is abnormal, the brain’s structure and functions have certain disorders.
Thus, it is necessary to inform teenagers about all possible risks related to administration of steroids. If they know about these potential undesirable reactions, they will be able to make a right decision connected with steroids.

Steroid users in Baseball Hall of Fame represent bad message for youth

What do retired baseball players believe about usage of steroids? This is the question that is frequently asked by reporters and widely presented by media. Different individuals have different points of view about this issue.
Recently some retired players of the Major League Baseball were interviewed by several reporters that tried to learn opinions of the former players about the steroid era in baseball. Should consumers of steroids be in the Hall of Fame?
Reggie Jackson, Goose Gossage, Dave Henderson, Curt Schillling, Mike Piazza, George Brett and Morgan Ensberg don’t desire to see consumers of steroids in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Later Wade Boggs was asked about this issue as well. This athlete played professional baseball for 18 years. He was asked whether steroid users could be allowed to be elected for the Hall of Fame. The former baseball player said that steroid users must not be chosen for the Hall Of Fame. According to his point of view, it is not the best message for American youth. No one should be allowed to be in the Hall of Fame and confirm that he is one of the greatest players because he has taken anabolic steroids. This is the bad message for the youth of the whole world.
As for the case linked with Roger Clemens, Boggs said nothing negative about him.
Roger Clemens was accused of lying before the Congress about usage of steroids and HGH. Obstruction of Congress, perjury and false statements were charges against this person. But recently the jury acquitted him. The decision of the jury dismissed the statement that Roger Clemens succeeded due to usage of banned medications.
While Wade Boggs refused to say anything unpleasant about Roger Clemens, he had certain harsh words about pitchers who apply steroids and take unfair advantages.

Patrick Mendes and Joshua Gilbert were banned for intake of non-steroidal preparations

The top Olympic weightlifters Patrick Mendes and Joshua Gilbert were banned from “Average Broz’s Gymnasium” (Las Vegas, Nevada). They tested positive for prohibited medications. Steroids were not the drugs applied by these sportsmen. They administered non-steroidal products that are also forbidden under Code of the WADA.
Mendes tested positive for prohibited medicines in February 2012 before the United States Olympic Team Trials for Weightlifting defined who would represent the US at the 2012 Summer Olympics. The athlete tested for HGH; as a result, he was banned.
Joshua Gilbert tested positive for the diuretic product furosemide at the 2012 National Weightlifting Championships. It was in March 2012.
Furosemide is a medication that is used by those that apply steroids in order to mask usage of steroids. Moreover, this medication helps sportspersons to lose weight in order to meet criteria of certain weight groups.  Weightlifting, boxing and wrestling are sports that divide competitors to weight classes.
HGH and furosemide are preparations which are banned by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF). The anti-doping system of the IWF is in the harmony with the WADA Code.
The weightlifters Mendes and Gilbert were coached by John Broz. Broz lived and trained with the celebrated Bulgarian weightlifter Antonio Krastev during his career. Krastev broke a world record snatch of 216 kg in 1987. John Broz learned the Bulgarian system of trainings and brought some methods to America. He founded own training gym in Las Vegas.
Mendes went to 2-year suspension. As for Gilbert, he was sentenced to 3-year suspension.
The suspensions of these athletes are failure for “Average Broz’s Gym”. So, the greatest weightlifters were not allowed to represent their native country at the 2012 Olympic Games.

UKAD: suspension of boxer Larry Olubamiwo represents success of anti-doping officers

The heavyweight boxer Larry “War Machine” Olubamiwo administered some anabolic steroids, HGH, IGF-1 and other doping preparations during 6 years. However several tests have been conducted earlier, he was caught only in January 2012. After a fight against Sam Sexton Larry Olubamiwo tested positive for forbidden medications. Metabolites of steroids were not found in his sample. The boxer tested positive for EPO. EPO is a blood boosting medicine.
Prolonged usage of prohibited medicines by Olubamiwo was a real embarrassment for the United Kingdom Anti-Doping. Andy Parkinson, the CEO of the UKAD, tried to prove that the ban of Olubamiwo for administration of 13 different prohibited preparations is a real success of the UKAD in the struggle against doping.  
Andy Parkinson confirmed that it was an unusual case. The boxer used steroids and other related preparations for long period of time without fear to spoil his health, career and reputation. He was sentenced to 4-year ban.
But the alarming aspect is following: Olumamiwo could avoid detection for prolonged time, despites great efforts of anti-doping officers to “clean” sports from administration of doping medications.
Olubamiwo was caught just because the UKAD was informed by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that he was implicated in an investigation connected with illegal sale of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in the US. Then the UKAD conducted a test that resulted in positive results for EPO.
Robert Smith, the General Secretary for the British Boxing Board of Control, supported the statements of Andy Parkinson about efforts and success of anti-doping agencies. He noticed that the case displayed that cheating couldn’t be hidden.
What is your opinion about the case? Do positives for EPO and the ban of Olubamiwo show that anti-doping officers succeed? Or does the case demonstrate that anti-doping policy is not suitable?
Every person can make own conclusion. But it is clear that the sportsman could take numerous forbidden substances for six years without being caught by anti-doping officers.

Has politician Linda McMahon promoted steroid use in WWE?

Linda McMahon puts great efforts to manifest that she is a politician that deserves to be trusted. She tried to get rid of steroid associations that have spoiled the reputation of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) throughout numerous years. Of course, her opponents always utilized opportunities to mention about great problems linked with steroid use in the WWE.
Linda McMahon is the former President and CEO of the WWE. The WWE was founded by her and her husband Vince McMahon in 1990. Almost 60% of the traded stock of the WWE belongs to them. They received great profits due to the WWE Empire. One billion dollars was got by the McMahons due to the business related to the WWE. Mrs. McMahon ended her tenure of the WWE in 2009 and started her political career. She joined the Republican Party seeking a Senatorial Seat for the State of Connecticut.  The woman spent about 50 million dollars on the campaign. But the campaign was unsuccessful. She lost to the Democratic Party. Nowadays she is seeking the Republican nomination in order to replace Joe Lieberman, another retiring Senator for Connecticut’s State.
Since Linda McMahon got involved in politics, many individuals began to criticize her for steroid scandals that took place in the WWE.
 A newspaper confirms that McMahon loves to mention that she has created certain jobs but she doesn’t answers questions about the jobs. An article affirms that the CEO of the WWE makes fun of unintelligent men that humble women and promotes administration of steroids.
The WWE responded quickly to these statements. The Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications for WWE Brian Flinn has noticed that the WWE cares about health of wrestlers and random drug testing manifests that the WWE is against usage of steroids. At least 4 random tests are conducted per year for each wrestler. Those that test positive for forbidden preparations are suspended. Thus, the WWE prohibits administration of steroids. Moreover, Brian Flinn has mentioned that the WWE has one of the best wellness systems in sports and entertainment.

Victor Conte: anti-doping system has many ambiguities

Recently Victor Conte, the founder of BALCO, expressed his thoughts about testing program of anti-doping agencies and the current state of doping among athletes.
Victor Conte has claimed that it is unlikely that the 2012 Summer Olympics would be free from application of steroids and other forbidden medicines. Conte claimed in an interview that Olympic anti-doping testing program had different defects. Thus, steroid users were also chosen to take part in the Olympic Games.
The founder of BALCO doesn’t believe that usage of prohibited medicines has reduced. He doesn’t agree with persons who claim that decreased performance in various sports proves that steroids and other banned preparations are almost excluded from sports.
The founder of BALCO claims that steroids are widely taken now too. Efforts of anti-doping agencies promoted adoption of sportspersons. Thus, sportspersons don’t take as high quantities as have been utilized before.  Nonetheless, usage of steroids and other prohibited preparations remains to be a concern.
The founder of BALCO is sure that sportspeople don’t administer such designer steroids, as THG. Instead of administering such medicines, sportspersons apply the steroid testosterone which is claimed to be the grandfather of all steroids.  Conte adds that since testosterone is fast-acting and it comes in form of creams, gels, patches and injections, it is widely taken by sportspeople. Furthermore, not too increased doses of testosterone are needed in order to produce dramatic effects. This steroid is popular among players of Major League Baseball.
Conte criticizes anti-doping policy. He affirms that anti-doping agencies have essential ambiguities. Even a truck can go through loopholes that are in doping laws, according to the founder of BALCO.

Recommendations linked with steroid use provided by Singapore Bodybuilding & Fitness Foundation

Media exaggerates any situation linked with steroids in sports and bodybuilding. Numerous facts are presented in misleading ways. Thus, steroid scandals appear without any reason. One of the cases is presented in the article.
Rano Izhar, the president of the Singapore Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (SBFF), has acknowledged that he shared recommendations related to usage of anabolic steroids.
Any person who belongs to the world of bodybuilding knows that steroids, HGH and some other related drugs are widely spread and taken by bodybuilders. Some news websites have written many articles, presenting the actions of the SBFF president as a steroid scandal. But be reasonable! He has not distributed anabolic steroids, he has only disseminated information.
“The New Paper”, a Singapore’s English-language newspaper, revealed emails between a bodybuilder and the president of the SBFF which were written before Rano Izhar was chosen to be the president. Izhar provided instructions linked with steroids cycles to the bodybuilder. The cycles suggested usage of 14 various preparations, including such steroids, as Anadrol 50, Dianabol, Primobolan Depot, etc. Clomid was also included in the cycles.
Izhar noted that the instructions were only for his friend who was an amateur bodybuilder. Moreover, he was not the president of the SBFF, when he provided this information.
Izhar’s friend was going to take steroids. He decided to do it. Izhar didn’t promote it. He only wanted to help his friend. He wished he applied steroids in the safest way.
Izhar admitted to providing instructions connected with steroid cycles. He confirmed that he needed to tell his friend which medications were efficacious and which medications didn’t work properly. He added that when anyone asked him about ways to take steroids, it meant that they would use them, regardless of the answer. Thus, the president just felt that he had to note at least the most important things that should be known about steroids.
Izhar has obtained the degree of Doctor in “lifestyle medicine” at the Harvard Medical School. He felt that he had to do anything he could for harm reduction for those who take steroids and other related preparations.

Two young steroid dealers are arrested in Poland

Everybody must have observed that the US put efforts to bust international companies that advertise steroids on internet and deliver them to clients around the world.
Recently the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has worked together with Poland’s police officers in order to catch persons that have been suspected in shipment of steroids and other bodybuilding medications to different countries of the world.
This investigation started about one year ago. The polish Border Guard Straz Graniczna intercepted large quantities of steroids that were sent to persons in the US and Canada. Steroids in form of injections and pills were confiscated at the Warsaw mail terminal.
Straz Graniczna collaborated with US DEA. Ultimately 2 men from Poland were arrested. One of them was detained, after he left the post office. More than 7, 000 steroid pills and 19, 000 steroid vials and 47, 000 Polish zloty or more than 14, 000 US dollars were found in this man’s car. But it was just the beginning of seizures.
It was defined that an apartment located in Warsaw served as a base of the underground lab that manufactured steroids which are usually taken by American bodybuilders. When police officers raided the apartment, they discovered drug paraphernalia there. The apartment was utilized not just for manufacture of steroids but also for keeping of ready steroids. About 666, 000 steroid pills, 19, 000 vials of steroids and more than 5, 000 steroid ampoules were seized during the search. The drugs were estimated. The cost was claimed to be 6 million Polish zloty or 1, 8 million US dollars.
It is supposed that the US will ask Polish authorities to extradite these two individuals.
The USA becomes aggressive, when it comes to struggle against steroids. International steroid empires are busted.
But the US doesn’t have essential success collaborating with Europe and Asia. The US presses other countries to arrest and extradite distributors of steroids.
Distributors of steroids that were connected with British Dragon and Musclebear were arrested and extradited to the US from Thailand and Cyprus.
The US pressed Austria to arrest Mihael Karner, the leader of an international drug company. Thus, he was arrested. Then the USA pressed Austrian authorities to extradite him to the US. But feds didn’t succeed that time. Karner paid one million Euros to Austrian authorities to avoid the extradition and arrive to his native country Slovenia.

Jurors have acquitted Roger Clemens; government criticizes them

Names of twelve individuals (4 men and 8 women) who belonged to jury at the case against the athlete Roger Clemens were released by the judge Reggie Walton.
The government wanted the jury to be convinced that the baseball player had lied before the Congress about administration of steroids and HGH. But since the jury didn’t believe it, the government criticized the individuals who served as the jury. Several persons who acted as the jury were interviewed.
A political activist, an art historian, a teacher of deaf kids, an official of Treasury Department and an employee of the Canadian Embassy composed the jury.
The political activist Joyce Robinson-Paul was interviewed by the New York Daily News several days after Roger Clemens was cleared of the charges. She noted that the jury comprehended that they had to be fair to both the government and the baseball player. But they didn’t find anything that had to be pursued.  Later she also noticed that the government couldn’t prove their suspicions.
The employee of the Canadian Embassy Bradford Weaver affirmed that the government was wrong. He noted that such cases should not be repeated. He also made it clear that there was nothing to be prosecuted. Bradford Weaver was interviewed by the Associated Press. This person also noted that every juror comprehended from the very beginning that Roger Clemens was not proven guilty of any charge. This person pointed that each juror was unanimous.
Bradford Weaver was also asked whether he considered that Roger Clemens really used steroids. Journalists of the Associated Press also asked him whether he thought that the governmental case against the baseball player represented only the waste of taxpayers’ funds. But Bradford Weaver didn’t answer the questions.
Another juror that chose not to be identified claimed that the jurors didn’t understand how the government could spend huge sums of money during 5 years in order to prosecute the athlete. This person noted that it was impossible to comprehend why the prosecution took place 5 years.
Other jurors didn’t provide any information.
As for feds, they were wholly disappointed. They refused to respond to the affirmations presented by the jurors.
