Rich steroid-using athletes don’t go to jail

Does money cause happiness? Of course, it doesn’t. But money has essential power. However it can’t make you happy, it has ability to help to avoid prison in certain situations. Let review the cases related to Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. Someone has probably believed that these individuals will lose. But you should not forget that rich guys never lose. Since they have money, they have many possibilities to win.
Barry Bonds was accused of lying to a grand jury. He said under the oath that he had never taken any banned preparations. It seemed that Barry Bonds’ cheating was evident and he would be sentenced to prison. But don’t forget: this baseball player has much money. However he was convicted for obstruction of justice, he was sentenced just to house arrest and community service. Moreover, he appealed even this light sentencing.
Roger Clemens, another baseball player, was charged with lying under oath too. He claimed that he had never taken any banned products. Finally, the baseball player was cleared of all charges. He didn’t lose too.
These cases display power of money. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have hired the best defense attorneys. Of course, you need much money in order to engage the best defense attorneys. Since Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have money, they could engage Albert Pujols, Allen Ruby or Rustin Hardy. Thus, it is naturally that federal prosecutors have lost under these circumstances.
Federal prosecutors lost also in other situations. For example, let note the case against the prominent 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. Federal prosecutors had only insignificant results in the cases linked with Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
So, if you are a professional sportsperson, you may take anabolic steroids and/or other related medications, if you have money. You should be rich enough to avoid prison. Otherwise, you will be ashamed and sentenced to prison.
