BALCO Head Victor Conte still selling Suplements and working with Athletes

I was reading the news the other day, and came upon an interesting story about BALCO owner Victor Conte. Como usted puede recordar, Conte owned the BALCO company that distributed illegal steroids to athletes such as Barry Bonds. So what do you think Conte is doing now after spending several months in prison for helping pro athletes juice?

Sorprendentemente, he is still working with athletes and selling designer supplements to them as I found out in a story about the Chicago Cubs' Marlon Byrd. According to Byrd, he isn't phased by working with Conte or BALCO, and is not worried about being busted for steroids anytime soon.

When asked if he would considering dropping Conte as his supplement supplier, Byrd said, "There's no need. I get tested. Major League Baseball knows they can test guys any time. It's random. I don't have any worries." Él continuó diciendo:, "I don't think Major League Baseball has any worries. Victor's name is what it is, pero en algún momento, everyone is going to have to move on."

Byrd also said, "You have to understand how supplements work. They don't make you Superman. Steroids make you Superman. I go out there with the thought process of playing hard, coming in to work out, making sure I have my recovery drinks and making sure I get sleep. The biggest thing for me is mind-set and recovery."

Hopefully Byrd or any other athletes that are using Conte don't get caught juicing. Después de todo, I don't think I could sit through BALCO II. Even better, why doesn't Major League Baseball just do away with the steroid ban and save us all the headache.
