Does money leads to happiness? Of course, it doesn’t. But money has significant power. However it can’t make you happy, it is capable to help to avoid imprisonment in some cases. Let review the cases connected with Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. One has probably believed that these persons will lose. But you should remember 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 prohibited medicines. It seemed that Barry Bonds’ cheating became obvious and he would be sentenced to prison. But remember: this athlete has much money. However he was convicted for obstruction of justice, he received just house arrest and community service. Moreover, even this light sentencing was appealed.
Roger Clemens, another athlete, was accused of lying under oath as well. He said that he had never taken any forbidden substances. Ultimately, the sportsman was cleared of all charges. He didn’t lose as well.
These cases manifest power of money. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have engaged the best defense attorneys. Undoubtedly, you need much money in order to employ the most experienced defense attorneys. Since Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have money, they could employ Albert Pujols, Allen Ruby or Rustin Hardy. So, it is naturally that federal prosecutors have lost under these circumstances.
Federal prosecutors lost also in other cases. For example, let mention the case against the celebrated American cyclist Lance Armstrong. The government decided to drop the case because it would lose.
Although the government wasted much money for these cases, it couldn’t win. Feds had only minor results in the cases linked with Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
Thus, if you are a professional sportsperson, you may take anabolic steroids and/or other related medicines, if you have money. You should be rich enough to avoid imprisonment. Otherwise, you will be disgraced and sentenced to imprisonment.
