Does money bring happiness? Undoubtedly, it doesn’t. But money possesses significant power. However it can’t make you happy, it has ability to help to prevent imprisonment in some cases. Let review the cases related to Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. One has probably thought that these persons will lose. But you should not forget that rich guys are unlikely to lose. Since they have money, they have a lot of possibilities to win.
Barry Bonds was accused of lying to a grand jury. He claimed under the oath that he had never taken any prohibited substances. It seemed that Barry Bonds’ cheating became obvious and he would go to jail. But don’t forget: this athlete has much money. Although he was convicted for obstruction of justice, he received just house arrest and community service. Furthermore, even this light sentencing was appealed.
Roger Clemens, another athlete, was accused of lying under oath too. He claimed that he had never used any forbidden remedies. Ultimately, the sportsman 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 best defense attorneys. Undoubtedly, you need much money in order to hire the most experienced defense attorneys. Since Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have money, they could engage Albert Pujols, Allen Ruby or Rustin Hardy. Thus, it is not surprisingly that feds have lost under these circumstances.
Feds lost also in other situations. For example, let note the case against the celebrated American cyclist Lance Armstrong. The government decided to drop the case because it would lose.
However the government wasted much money for these cases, it couldn’t win. Feds had only minor results in the cases against Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
So, if you are a professional athlete, you may use anabolic steroids and/or other related medicines, if you have money. You should be rich enough to avoid prison. Otherwise, you will be ashamed and punished properly.
