BALCO Founder Plans Tell-All Book On Doping
NEW YORK — The New York Daily News is reporting that BALCO founder Victor Conte is expected to write a book about the sports steroids scandal.
The book has a working title of “BALCO: The Straight Dope on Barry Bonds, Marion Jones and What We Can Do To Save Sports.” It is scheduled for publication in September by Skyhorse Publishing.
Conte, off criminal probation as of midnight Sunday, claimed IRS Special Agent Jeff Novitzky fabricated an alleged confession by Conte and lied in court documents. Conte also said Novitzky was the subject of an internal investigation by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration for allegedly leaking confidential investigative information about the case and for missing evidence.
The investigation apparently was closed after six months, the News said.
