i read exactly what you wrote. you seem to think a trainer has some ethical obligation to protect his clients from the police. that's far from the core of his profession. his job is to train.

Stop it. A trainer has a definite [not "some"] ethical obligation to see to the nutritional and physical well being of his clients, especially a high priced personal trainer at elite levels, as opposed to a trainer with 3 - 6 clients per day at various gyms and in various types of condition and needs. Even then there is much ethical obligation for trainers beyond the grunts and groans. ANY trainer worth his/her salt plans, guides, assists and floows up on each client's progress and well being.

No, you don't understand, because to do so would require some effort on your part to look at all sides of a story. If McNamee suggested to Clemens some really good "stuff" to keep him ageless and strong, that "hallowed" and intimate relationship was already violated before Clemens knew what he was talking about. If Clemens raised the subject first, then McNamee had an obligation to at least ask what Clemens initial motivation was and/or where it came from.

There may be no such confidentiality guaranteed by law; but moral law might dispute the fact.
So, you defend the pusher for spilling the beans to save his own skin by tossing clients under the legal bus. How noble and just of you.
