	Balco Steroid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Most of the balco steroid world (I would judge) would see as trivial some of the things that are listed, and see as significant some of the things that are left out.
		This is fine, but it will be very firmly lodged in the memories of 50 million or so British people and would appear to them as a balco steroid glaring omission.
		I tagged Syngman Rhee because it was self-contradictory, owing to a previous edit war that I had nothing to do with; and then, when no one else volunteered to fix it, I did so myself, with some investment of time.

	Bonds got steroids, feds were told / Slugger's trainer said to have given substances to several athletes
		Anderson allegedly obtained a so-called designer steroid known as "the clear" and a testosterone-based steroid known as "the cream" from BALCO and supplied the substances to all six baseball players, the government was told.
		Conte, the agent wrote, gave a "complete statement regarding his involvement in knowingly, illegally, distributing steroids to numerous professional athletes." Conte said he knew it was illegal and assumed Anderson knew that, too, when allegedly receiving the steroids for professional baseball players, the affidavit says.
		The BALCO case and its connection to some of baseball's biggest stars have increased pressure on the sport to become more aggressive in the commissioner's stated goal of zero tolerance toward steroids.

	The Seattle Times: Sports: Bonds denied knowledge; Jones implicated by BALCO owner
		The scandal surrounding the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (BALCO) continued to grow as the owner, Victor Conte, charged that former track superstar Marion Jones was "without a doubt" a drug cheat.

	Judge Denies BALCO Founder's Motion for Dismissal (washingtonpost.com)
		She supported the validity of various search warrants and agents' means of entering the BALCO facility last year, saying they did not appear to use excessive force.
		The judged ruled that three matters would be considered at the hearing: Whether the defendants were served a search warrant at the proper time; whether Conte consented to a search of his storage locker; whether Conte and Valente were in custody at the time they were interrogated.
		The BALCO case ignited a crackdown on the use of performance-enhancing drugs in international track and field that has led to bans of more than a dozen athletes, most of them American, and heightened scrutiny on sprint star Marion Jones, who is under investigation by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and International Olympic Committee.

	CrimProf Blog: Grand Jury Leaks in Baseball Doping Probe: Who Dunnit?
		The source of the leaks is still unknown, and a federal judge overseeing the charges against the alleged steriod distributors in the BALCO case has refused to dismiss the charges in response to a motion by defense attorneys that the leaks have tainted the jury pool and will result in an unfair trial.
		One of the BALCO defendants is therefore a viable possibililty, assuming his attorney provided him with his own copies of the grand jury transcripts.
		The BALCO defendants are perhaps the more likely source, but we do not even know if the actual defendants, as opposed to their lawyers, even received personal copies of the transcripts.

	[TPR] - #79 - The BALCO Indictments - 13-February-2004
		But with a high profile coach and several big-name athletes enmeshed in the ongoing BALCO saga, yesterday's announcement of a 42-count indictment probing the distribution of anabolic steroids is very likely to set the tone for the sport for the rest of the year.
		His correspondences are replete with code names for substances, requests for confidentiality and instructions on the routing of payments, while at the same time revealing his extensive knowledge of the ins and outs of steroid use, it's testing and concealment.
		The affidavit also claims that BALCO was "marketing a scheme to distribute and administer drugs that mask the presence of steroids in the blood and urine of athletes," notably through the use of Epitestosterone.

		Romanowski and Robbins were among four Raiders notified by the NFL last month that they failed tests for THG, a source close to the investigation has told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
		An appearance before the grand jury, or being subpoenaed to testify, does not mean an athlete is a target of the investigation -- which is focusing on possible drug and tax violations by the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative.
		The only two people identified so far as targets of the federal grand jury are BALCO founder Victor Conte and Greg Anderson, a personal trainer for Bonds and other athletes.

	BALCO Tab Runs High for Agency (washingtonpost.com)
		The BALCO costs represent more than twice that spent on legal fees by USADA for all cases in 2002, before the BALCO scandal broke.
		USADA's cases against those athletes rely on evidence seized in a 2003 federal raid of BALCO that was furnished by the government.
		USADA's foray into the BALCO scandal began in June of 2003, when an anonymous coach -- later revealed to be track coach Trevor Graham -- sent USADA a syringe containing a steroid that Olympic drug-testing methods could not detect.

		James M. Wagstaffe of the San Francisco firm Kerr & Wagstaffe said Thursday that he would strongly defend Conte, who last month told a national television audience that he gave Jones steroids and watched her inject herself with the blood-boosting drug EPO.
		Drug-testing officials have never reported that she failed a test, but the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has investigated her connections to BALCO, the Burlingame nutrition company at the center of the drug scandal.

		The fallout from BALCO scandal has become more significant than the case itself, with steroid use becoming a front-burner issue from Capitol Hill to baseball clubhouses.
		Congress also has gotten into the act, threatening to implement a federal drug-testing policy for the NFL, NBA, NHL and the major leagues, with a two-year ban for a first offense and a lifetime ban for a second violation, as well as more frequent testing.
		Still, USADA is seeking to ban him from competition based on secret documents the U.S. Senate obtained last year from the BALCO investigation and then forwarded to the doping agency.

		While MLB and its players union took the first tiny steps toward curtailing performance-enhancing drugs with the introduction of testing last year, the federal prosecution in California is driving the attention and newfound urgency.
