Convicted steroid distributor speaks out

Here's an interesting article about steroid use in professional sports. It mentions a man who was convicted of distributing drugs to athletes but now wants to help correct the situation in the future.

I hope he is sincere and has some success. He does have the experience working on the other side of the problem, which I think we'll be of great use in finding a solution. I hope that athletes take this seriously and look for ways to gain muscle naturally

Here's the CNN Story

"The man whose lab distributed performance-enhancing drugs to athletes says the policies of American professional baseball and football leagues encourage their use.
Victor Conte served four months in prison for distributing performance-enhancing drugs.

Victor Conte, founder of BALCO, or the Bay Area Laboratories Co-Operative, said Thursday that Major League Baseball and the National Football League test for only half or fewer of the 60 stimulants the World Anti-Doping Agency lists as banned substances."
