Physical appearance of Roger Clemens displays that he hasn’t taken steroids

It is known by each baseball fan that Roger Clemens is accused in obstruction of justice. It is believed that he has lied before Congress about administration of steroids and HGH.
Rusty Hardin noticed that Roger Clemens’ muscularity didn’t change greatly before, during and after his trainings with Brian McNamee. The attorney affirmed that this aspect proved that Roger Clemens hadn’t taken steroids and other related products.
Appearance of muscles is often used by federal prosecutors as proof that a sportsperson uses steroids or/and other related drugs. But this tendency was not utilized during the governmental case against Roger Clemens. Nobody could affirm that Roger Clemens’ muscles displayed that he had taken steroids and HGH. It is a difference between the cases against Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds.
As for the governmental case against Barry Bonds, feds called many individuals in the trial that could testify that anabolic steroids caused evidential changes in physique of this athlete. They claimed that application of steroids led to enhancement of muscle mass, enhanced size of the head and shrinkage of testicles in Barry Bonds.
So, the defense attorney Rusty Hardin provided four photos of Roger Clemens. The pictures displayed physical appearance of Roger Clemens, including the time when Clemens was working with the coach Brain McNamee. The attorney pointed out that the pictures showed that there were no changes in physical appearance that could support that he took steroids and HGH.
The attorney Rusty Hardin claimed that the photos displayed only the process of ageing. The masseur Cheryl Redfern noticed 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 dramatically enhanced muscle size.
The former Major League Baseball player Phil Garner also confirmed that there were not any essential changes in physical appearance and performance of Roger Clemens during working with Brian McNamee.
Steve Durham, the Assistant US Attorney tried 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 confirmed that while several steroids increased muscle size, others didn’t induce getting muscles. Thus, he claimed that the photos could say nothing about steroid use.
Federal prosecutors want 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 applied steroids, lack of physical changes in Roger Clemens doesn’t prove that he hasn’t applied steroids.
