this week from some very major athletes.

[Conte] "BALCO" is a word
that's now forever in the lexicon.

[man] BALCO.
16
00:01:00,810 --> 00:01:02,562
BALCO.
17
00:01:02,645 --> 00:01:05,148
The biggest doping scandal
in sports history.
18
00:01:05,732 --> 00:01:09,611
[Conte] Articles had come out saying
I was a modern-day Al Capone,
19
00:01:09,694 --> 00:01:11,571
the BALCO mastermind...
20
00:01:11,654 --> 00:01:14,407
[chuckling]...Dr. Frankenstein,
you know, from BALCO.

[reporter 3] They were searching
for evidence,
22
00:01:17,202 --> 00:01:21,414
linking Conte to a previously
undetected steroid known as THG.
23
00:01:21,498 --> 00:01:23,166
They called it The Clear.
24
00:01:23,249 --> 00:01:24,709
It is a designer steroid...
25
00:01:24,793 --> 00:01:27,462
Made for the sole purpose of cheating.
26
00:01:27,545 --> 00:01:31,966
It is now a full-blown conspiracy
with ties to top athletes...

[commentator] A high drive...
30
00:01:38,807 --> 00:01:41,684
[Conte] The whole investigation,
in my opinion,
31
00:01:41,768 --> 00:01:43,895
was all about chasing headlines.
32
00:01:43,978 --> 00:01:48,817
Unfortunately, some in professional sports
are not setting much of an example.
33
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:51,945
This is about values,
it's about our culture.
34
00:01:52,028 --> 00:01:56,032
Major League Baseball had a very,
very serious problem with steroids.
35
00:01:56,116 --> 00:01:57,408
It wasn't dealt with.
36
00:01:57,492 --> 00:01:59,577
[Conte] I knew
they didn't have the evidence
37
00:01:59,661 --> 00:02:01,287
that they claimed that they had,
38
00:02:01,371 --> 00:02:05,333
and that's why I walked out into
a sea of reporters and did this.
39
00:02:06,501 --> 00:02:08,044
That meant this.
40
00:02:08,128 --> 00:02:10,672
[Tim Montgomery] Victor Conte

41
00:02:10,755 --> 00:02:12,423
to be anybody he wants to.
42
00:02:13,007 --> 00:02:16,094
[Jeff Novitzky] I think most people
who hear and see Victor Conte
43
00:02:16,177 --> 00:02:17,720
realize him for who he is,
44
00:02:17,804 --> 00:02:22,267
and that's, you know, a used car,
snake oil salesman, bullshit artist.
45
00:02:22,809 --> 00:02:28,439
[Conte] It was fun, it was exciting.
It was about trying to be great.
46
00:02:28,523 --> 00:02:32,277
When Marion Jones hit the finish line
and won the gold medal,
47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,654
when Barry Bonds hit all those home runs.
48
00:02:34,737 --> 00:02:36,823
[riveting music playing]
49
00:02:39,325 --> 00:02:42,620
[commentator] Bonds hits one!
Deep to right field.
50
00:02:42,704 --> 00:02:45,748
The record has changed again. Barry Bonds...
51
00:02:45,832 --> 00:02:48,459
[Conte] You know,
any of these great accomplishments,
52
00:02:49,043 --> 00:02:51,462
those are things
that I'll always be proud of.

80
00:04:51,624 --> 00:04:56,879
From 1984 when I started BALCO
until 2000, for 16 years,

I never gave anybody
any sort of illegal drugs.

Thank you very much.

Yes, as Ken stated,
my name is Victor Conte,
86
00:05:11,144 --> 00:05:14,230
and I'm the executive director
of BALCO Laboratories,
87
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:18,860
BALCO standing for, uh,
Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative,
88
00:05:18,943 --> 00:05:22,280
and I'm also the... the founder
of something called the SNAC system.
89
00:05:23,156 --> 00:05:26,743
They've called it Victor's knack,
that whatever I decide to do,
90
00:05:26,826 --> 00:05:29,746
I can go straight to the top,
and I taught myself.
91
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:32,999
I got a library card,
92
00:05:33,082 --> 00:05:35,418
and I pulled
all these scientific journals,
93
00:05:35,501 --> 00:05:38,963
then I would read 'em all.
I went across zinc and muscle strength,
94
00:05:39,047 --> 00:05:41,132
zinc and testosterone.
95
00:05:41,215 --> 00:05:44,969
I learned athletes can be low in iron,
they could be lower in copper.
96
00:05:45,053 --> 00:05:48,556
Some of these deficiencies are connected
with various symptoms like
97
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:51,476
muscle cramps or lack of concentration.
98
00:05:51,559 --> 00:05:53,853
And we... Hopefully, by, uh,
giving some input,
99
00:05:53,936 --> 00:05:56,230
we can help the United States
win a few more gold medals.
100
00:05:56,814 --> 00:06:00,526
I put together this partnership
and raised money and started BALCO.
101
00:06:02,945 --> 00:06:05,531
Update on the BALCO Laboratory facility.
102
00:06:05,615 --> 00:06:09,619
There's a new building.
We'll walk into the lab area.
103
00:06:11,162 --> 00:06:15,124
We started testing athletes,
one led to another, and...
104
00:06:15,208 --> 00:06:18,419
The first-world-class athletes
that I tested were in track and field.
105
00:06:18,503 --> 00:06:22,131
And then Matt Biondi, who was the world's
fastest swimmer at the time.
106
00:06:22,215 --> 00:06:25,676
So I could collect all this data
that was valuable to them.
107
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,638
You know, I was kind of
a natural-born promoter.
108
00:06:28,721 --> 00:06:30,640
The next thing you know, NBA players.
109
00:06:30,723 --> 00:06:34,977
I worked with the entire
Seattle SuperSonics team in '92 and '93.
110
00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:38,064
[sports commentator speaks indistinctly]
111
00:06:39,273 --> 00:06:43,486
But for me to actually enhance
the performance of the athletes,
112
00:06:43,569 --> 00:06:45,822
I had to learn
how to formulate supplements.
113
00:06:45,905 --> 00:06:50,118
So I created a whole line of mineral
and trace element products
114
00:06:50,201 --> 00:06:56,249
and formulated ZMA, and that... I mean,
it was like a rocket ship.
115
00:06:57,542 --> 00:07:02,338
Pretty soon, Bill Romanowski showed up
from the Denver Broncos.
116
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:05,091
And he... he was the gateway
to the NFL for... for me.
117
00:07:05,633 --> 00:07:08,803
Then all of a sudden
I had 250 NFL players.
118
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:13,933
[indistinct chatter and laughter]
119
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,854
[Conte] Are you going to assault
the world record, Gregg?
120
00:07:17,937 --> 00:07:20,148
[chuckles] Mr. Zinc. Call me Zinc.
121
00:07:20,231 --> 00:07:22,191
- [Conte] Mr. Zinc.
- [laughter]
122
00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:26,362
[Conte] So from '84,
all the way until 2000,
123
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:32,201
everything that BALCO and SNAC did
was completely legal, completely clean.
124
00:07:32,285 --> 00:07:35,872
No athletes were ever given
any sort of performance-enhancing drug.
125
00:07:36,706 --> 00:07:42,253
[chuckling] Now, were some of these guys
using drugs, like shot putters? Of course.
126
00:07:42,336 --> 00:07:45,006
I just wasn't involved
in... in providing those to them.
127
00:07:45,089 --> 00:07:45,923
[clapping]
128
00:07:46,007 --> 00:07:49,552
But I knew the use
of performance-enhancing drugs
129
00:07:49,635 --> 00:07:52,388
in Olympic sport was rampant.
130
00:07:52,972 --> 00:07:55,099
[commentator] Carl Lewis is in lane three.
131
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,810
[Conte] In the Olympic Games
in '88 in Seoul,
132
00:07:57,894 --> 00:07:59,729
of course Ben Johnson stands out.
133
00:07:59,812 --> 00:08:06,194
[commentator 1] And Johnson does it again.
Unbelievable. Nine-seven-nine.
134
00:08:06,277 --> 00:08:09,363
[commentator 2]
New world record. Incredible.
135
00:08:10,239 --> 00:08:12,783
Now, I've just been handed
a piece of paper that, if it's right,
136
00:08:12,867 --> 00:08:16,037
it'll be the most dramatic story out of
these Olympics or perhaps any others.
137
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,831
Ben Johnson
has been stripped of his gold medal
138
00:08:18,915 --> 00:08:21,501
for testing positive to using
anabolic steroids.
139
00:08:21,584 --> 00:08:25,796
[reporter] He is one of the athletes
under a cloud of suspicion for a while,
140
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,965
as is his coach, Charlie Francis.
141
00:08:28,049 --> 00:08:31,135
[Charlie Francis] Where you offer
an athlete only two choices,
142
00:08:31,219 --> 00:08:35,723
run clean and lose or take drugs and win,
then of course the choices will be clear.
143
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:38,184
[Conte] Working with elite athletes,
144
00:08:38,267 --> 00:08:42,563
I realized this is what happens
at the elite level of sport.
145
00:08:42,647 --> 00:08:46,609
This is what it takes
to go to the next level.
146
00:08:46,692 --> 00:08:48,194
Reports on a frightening sign
147
00:08:48,277 --> 00:08:50,404
that sports competition
is being pushed too far.
148
00:08:50,488 --> 00:08:51,572
Steroids.
149
00:08:51,656 --> 00:08:54,075
[reporter] America's newest drug epidemic.
150
00:08:54,158 --> 00:08:55,910
President Bush recently signed a bill
151
00:08:55,993 --> 00:09:00,414
which, for the first time, classifies
steroids as controlled substances.
152
00:09:00,915 --> 00:09:05,336
Said it's the classic dilemma between
the fair play associated with sport
153
00:09:05,419 --> 00:09:06,837
and the desire to win.
154
00:09:06,921 --> 00:09:09,840
[people clamoring]
155
00:09:12,051 --> 00:09:15,596
In my experience, 80% of athletes say,
156
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:19,392
"I'm not gonna invest 10 years of my life
then walk away, so give me those pills."
157
00:09:23,854 --> 00:09:25,398
[Montgomery] I hate losing.
158
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:30,653
I hate for anyone to look at me
and say they beat me.
159
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:34,156
And I think that comes from my childhood,
160
00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:36,409
because they called me Tiny Tim.
161
00:09:37,785 --> 00:09:39,287
I hate the name Tiny Tim.
162
00:09:40,955 --> 00:09:42,957
I remember watching Conan the Barbarian.

["Wheel of Pain" by B. Poledouris plays]

How he pushed the wheel
and he became so strong.
165
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:51,340
I would cut grass.
We had an old push lawn mower.
166
00:09:51,424 --> 00:09:54,510
The lawn mower was this tall,
and it had a little centerpiece there,
167
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:55,970
so I'd be pushing, you know,
168
00:09:56,053 --> 00:10:00,349
and everybody was looking at me,
at little Timmy push the lawn mower.
169
00:10:00,433 --> 00:10:04,061
I'd push all that yard because I wanted
to be like Conan the Barbarian.
170
00:10:04,145 --> 00:10:07,148
I wanted to be stronger, faster.
I wanted to be everything.
171
00:10:08,190 --> 00:10:12,194
So I was really, in essence,
training myself for my near future.
172
00:10:13,654 --> 00:10:16,449
My goal was... was
to be the best in the world,
173
00:10:16,532 --> 00:10:17,908
the greatest of all time.
174
00:10:18,701 --> 00:10:22,204
[commentator] Tim Montgomery of the US
may be, uh, a sleeper in this field.
175
00:10:22,288 --> 00:10:26,334
[Montgomery] In 1997, I ran nine times
under ten seconds...
176
00:10:26,417 --> 00:10:28,377
[commentator]
Montgomery and Donovan Bailey.
177
00:10:28,461 --> 00:10:31,213
...so I knew what I could do naturally.
178
00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:32,757
I just needed more power.
179
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,592
[commentator] He's a little bit smaller.
180
00:10:34,675 --> 00:10:36,927
I think he may need
to put on a few pounds,
181
00:10:37,011 --> 00:10:38,471
and I think his time is coming...
182
00:10:38,554 --> 00:10:42,391
[Montgomery] So, in 1999,
I moved down to Raleigh, North Carolina,
183
00:10:42,975 --> 00:10:47,146
and I started training with Trevor Graham,
Marion Jones' coach.
184
00:10:48,105 --> 00:10:49,649
And the workouts was...
185
00:10:49,732 --> 00:10:51,067
Couldn't finish 'em.
186
00:10:51,567 --> 00:10:55,404
So I go to Trevor's house
and he got tapes of Ben Johnson.
187
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,280
I mean...
188
00:10:58,074 --> 00:11:00,660
I can't do no start like that.
It ain't how I start.
189
00:11:00,743 --> 00:11:02,828
He's like, "No, you see that raw power?"
190
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:08,000
And that's when I was introduced
to the dark side.
191
00:11:08,084 --> 00:11:09,919
Performance-enhancing drugs.
192
00:11:11,212 --> 00:11:13,005
[Conte] The Ben Johnson race,
193
00:11:13,089 --> 00:11:16,884
eventually, something like six or seven
out of the eight guys
194
00:11:16,967 --> 00:11:19,970
were suspected of using
performance-enhancing drugs.
195
00:11:20,596 --> 00:11:22,973
If you run at least two meters faster,
196
00:11:23,057 --> 00:11:26,227
this is the difference
of 10 flat and 9-8. Okay?
197
00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:30,690
So you're... you're... A guy not on stuff
is going to have a very difficult time
198
00:11:30,773 --> 00:11:32,817
competing with somebody who's on stuff.
199
00:11:34,068 --> 00:11:38,072
[Montgomery] When I got with Graham,
I saw that the best was doing it.
200
00:11:38,781 --> 00:11:41,701
I assumed that this was
what everybody was doing.
201
00:11:42,952 --> 00:11:47,665
[Conte] When I realized
the hypocrisy of all of this,
202
00:11:47,748 --> 00:11:51,335
I decided it was time to start playing
by the real rules of sport,
203
00:11:51,419 --> 00:11:54,463
and the rest is history, as they say.
204
00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:57,508
[hard rock music playing]
205
00:12:07,309 --> 00:12:11,647
[Conte] I went to a... a bodybuilding show
in San Francisco,
206
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:15,276
and I was introduced
to these 25 pro bodybuilders,
207
00:12:15,359 --> 00:12:17,153
all the biggest names in the sport.
208
00:12:17,236 --> 00:12:18,237
Whoo!
209
00:12:19,029 --> 00:12:22,366
[Conte] And it's
the only professional sport
210
00:12:22,450 --> 00:12:24,744
where the use of steroids is a mandate.
211
00:12:25,327 --> 00:12:30,541
And so I stood up to tell them we did this
testing of minerals and trace elements,
212
00:12:30,624 --> 00:12:35,755
but we also have the ability to do
all of the comprehensive drug testing.
213
00:12:35,838 --> 00:12:37,423
[hard rock music continues]
214
00:12:39,884 --> 00:12:42,636
[Conte] We tested those 25 bodybuilders...
215
00:12:43,471 --> 00:12:44,305
[ding]
216
00:12:44,388 --> 00:12:47,183
...and I said, "These Winstrol
tablets you think you're taking?"
217
00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:49,727
"There's no Winstrol in your urine.
These are fake."
218
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:56,650
That's how I became a part of that world
and tried to learn about steroids.
219
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:02,323
It was a new challenge,
and that's what makes me tick.
220
00:13:02,406 --> 00:13:04,408
You know,
that's what got the wheels turning.
221
00:13:06,702 --> 00:13:08,204
[riveting music playing]
222
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:09,497
[Catlin] I'm Oliver Catlin.
223
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:14,293
I am the son of the guru
of sport drug testing, Dr. Don Catlin.
224
00:13:14,376 --> 00:13:19,006
And today I am the president
of Banned Substances Control Group.
225
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:25,262
In anti-doping, the level playing field
is what we strive for,
226
00:13:25,346 --> 00:13:28,265
but it's hard to achieve.
227
00:13:28,849 --> 00:13:32,102
Victor knew what he wanted
in undetectable drugs,
228
00:13:32,186 --> 00:13:34,313
but he didn't know
how to make those himself,
229
00:13:34,396 --> 00:13:38,275
and that's where the skill set
of Patrick Arnold as a chemist came in.
230
00:13:38,776 --> 00:13:41,654
[Conte] At the Mr. Olympia Expo
in Las Vegas
231
00:13:41,737 --> 00:13:43,364
is where I met Patrick Arnold,
232
00:13:43,447 --> 00:13:45,199
and he just said he had some stuff
233
00:13:45,282 --> 00:13:47,326
that seemed to, you know,
help with recovery.
234
00:13:47,409 --> 00:13:51,247
He didn't really even tell me what it was.
And so I bought a bottle of it from him.
235
00:13:51,831 --> 00:13:54,208
It was a clear liquid,
you used an eyedropper
236
00:13:54,291 --> 00:13:57,545
and you put drops under your tongue.
It was sublingual absorption.
237
00:13:58,128 --> 00:14:01,048
Took it myself and it felt great.
238
00:14:02,174 --> 00:14:04,385
And then I did some testing on it,
239
00:14:04,468 --> 00:14:08,722
where I measured my testosterone
the next day, the next day and the next.
240
00:14:09,598 --> 00:14:13,435
And I realized, "Boy, this stuff
acts like an anabolic steroid."
241
00:14:15,604 --> 00:14:20,234
Many of the steroids had been built
by pharmaceuticals and just not used,
242
00:14:20,317 --> 00:14:23,737
but when we got to BALCO,
new drugs were literally created.
243
00:14:24,613 --> 00:14:28,868
Patrick bubbled hydrogen through
gestrinone, a birth control pill,
244
00:14:28,951 --> 00:14:34,123
and it turned into one of the most
anabolic steroids that was ever created.
245
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,045
[Conte] Then when I did the comprehensive
drug testing, it came back as clean.
246
00:14:40,588 --> 00:14:42,006
- [ding]
- It was undetectable.
247
00:14:42,089 --> 00:14:43,424
Oh, shit, you know?
248
00:14:43,507 --> 00:14:45,050
Then the light bulb went on.
249
00:14:45,968 --> 00:14:48,804
[Catlin] And I think he saw
performance-enhancing drugs
250
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:52,057
that were undetectable
were a much quicker avenue
251
00:14:52,141 --> 00:14:55,477
than the legitimate nutrition products
that he was selling.
252
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,690
That's when I started giving it
to athletes, at the beginning of 2000.
253
00:15:11,785 --> 00:15:12,785
How about this?
254
00:15:13,579 --> 00:15:15,205
[producer] What do you got?
255
00:15:15,289 --> 00:15:21,253
This is Marion Jones
at the, uh, 2000 Olympics in Sydney
256
00:15:21,337 --> 00:15:25,507
that they opened up where she wins
by something like four meters.
257
00:15:25,591 --> 00:15:30,429
That just shows you the type of dominance
that Marion had at that time.
258
00:15:33,349 --> 00:15:37,561
Going into the 2000 Summer Olympics,
Marion Jones was the golden girl.
259
00:15:37,645 --> 00:15:39,355
[commentator 1] ...Jones taking command.
260
00:15:39,438 --> 00:15:41,148
[commentator 2] She has yet to be beaten.
261
00:15:41,231 --> 00:15:43,911
[commentator 3] Her goal this year,
she'll say it: To be undefeated.
262
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:44,985
She's a competitor.
263
00:15:45,653 --> 00:15:48,238
Marion Jones is making
three million dollars a year.
264
00:15:48,322 --> 00:15:52,534
In Sydney, she's going for five medals,
trying to be the greatest of all time.
265
00:15:52,618 --> 00:15:55,120
The only time I even consider
the quest for five
266
00:15:55,204 --> 00:15:56,997
is when people mention it. [laughs]
267
00:15:57,957 --> 00:16:00,709
[Conte] She had sponsorships
with General Motors,
268
00:16:00,793 --> 00:16:05,339
American Express, Nike, you know,
the commercial "Can you dig it?"
269
00:16:05,422 --> 00:16:09,218
[Jones] We need more role models.
The more, the better.
270
00:16:09,301 --> 00:16:10,719
Can you dig it?
271
00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:12,805
I had not talked with Marion,
272
00:16:12,888 --> 00:16:15,307
but had talked with her trainer,
Trevor Graham.
273
00:16:15,391 --> 00:16:17,518
They were using traditional testosterone
274
00:16:17,601 --> 00:16:19,561
and EPO and growth hormone,
275
00:16:19,645 --> 00:16:22,523
and they said, "We hear you have
this undetectable substance."
276
00:16:22,606 --> 00:16:24,984
"Can you help, uh, Marion Jones?"
277
00:16:25,067 --> 00:16:30,030
And immediately I realized
this was a very, very big moment,
278
00:16:31,073 --> 00:16:34,243
and I sent a box
of some of this stuff to them.
279
00:16:34,326 --> 00:16:37,454
[Australia's National Anthem,
"Advance Australia Fair" playing]
280
00:16:38,914 --> 00:16:44,169
[woman] I promise that we shall take part
in these Olympic Games,
281
00:16:44,253 --> 00:16:50,968
committing ourselves to a sport
without doping and without drugs.
282
00:16:51,051 --> 00:16:55,973
Once we got there,
we created a... a calendar for Marion.
283
00:16:56,056 --> 00:17:00,519
We determined what to take,
how much to take, when to take it.
284
00:17:01,270 --> 00:17:04,106
Of course, it was all based
on circumventing the testing.
285
00:17:05,232 --> 00:17:08,736
[commentator] Marion Jones has seven
of the fastest 11 times ever run.
286
00:17:09,445 --> 00:17:14,616
[Conte] I got tickets to sit
at the finish line of the 100 meters.
287
00:17:15,117 --> 00:17:16,577
It was insane.
288
00:17:17,786 --> 00:17:18,787
[commentator] Set.
289
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,834
Away. Pretty good start for Jones.
She's in the winning position.
290
00:17:23,917 --> 00:17:25,919
Early startup, pulling away slowly.
291
00:17:26,003 --> 00:17:28,464
We were shooting
for the... for the top of the mountain.
292
00:17:28,547 --> 00:17:31,107
[commentator] Jones going hard.
Lawrence has had a good first 50.
293
00:17:31,133 --> 00:17:33,552
Jones clearly in front.
Look at the margin.
294
00:17:33,635 --> 00:17:34,845
She's straining them.
295
00:17:34,928 --> 00:17:36,388
[Conte] I knew she would win,
296
00:17:36,472 --> 00:17:39,975
but I didn't think
she'd blow everybody away Flo-Jo style
297
00:17:40,059 --> 00:17:41,435
and win by four meters.
298
00:17:42,352 --> 00:17:45,064
[commentator]
She absolutely annihilated them.
299
00:17:45,606 --> 00:17:49,693
[Conte] Marion ended up winning
five medals at the Olympics in Sydney.
300
00:17:51,236 --> 00:17:53,822
It felt great to just be
a part of her success.
301
00:17:54,406 --> 00:17:56,617
- We're done. We're done.
- We're done.
302
00:17:58,410 --> 00:18:02,039
[Michael Schmidt] I think the... the thing
about the BALCO investigation
303
00:18:02,539 --> 00:18:05,709
is that it brings you behind the scenes
304
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:12,674
into largely criminal activity
that was done in secret.
305
00:18:12,758 --> 00:18:17,471
And it's... it's exposing
what these athletes were willing to do
306
00:18:17,554 --> 00:18:19,306
to try and succeed.
307
00:18:21,391 --> 00:18:22,684
[commentator] That one's high.
308
00:18:22,768 --> 00:18:25,687
Deep right field, gone!
Home run, Barry Bonds.
309
00:18:25,771 --> 00:18:27,648
[audience cheering]
310
00:18:27,731 --> 00:18:30,943
[Schmidt] Steroids were banned
in baseball at the time,
311
00:18:31,026 --> 00:18:33,112
but there was no testing for them,
312
00:18:33,862 --> 00:18:37,324
and, in the late '90s
into the early 2000s,
313
00:18:37,407 --> 00:18:40,661
it's just like an explosion in home runs.
314
00:18:40,744 --> 00:18:43,705
[commentator] Canseco looks like
the sort of a comic book hero: Huge.
315
00:18:43,789 --> 00:18:45,833
Wow, did he crush that one?
316
00:18:46,333 --> 00:18:53,173
Then in 1998, there was this chase
to break the single-season home run record
317
00:18:53,257 --> 00:18:56,760
between two great sluggers, Mark McGwire...
318
00:18:56,844 --> 00:18:59,680
[commentator] Number 45 for McGwire.
319
00:18:59,763 --> 00:19:00,889
[Schmidt]...and Sammy Sosa.
320
00:19:00,973 --> 00:19:03,308
[commentator] One for two
and he sends a rocket. Number 48.
321
00:19:03,892 --> 00:19:08,689
And it completely captivated the country.
322
00:19:09,940 --> 00:19:11,775
[commentator 1] Sixty!
323
00:19:12,860 --> 00:19:15,028
[commentator 2] Can you say "66"?
324
00:19:16,238 --> 00:19:17,865
[commentator speaking indistinctly]
325
00:19:17,948 --> 00:19:24,037
Number 70! How much more can
you give us than that? Number 70...
326
00:19:24,121 --> 00:19:28,292
[Schmidt] Bonds saw
what Sosa and McGwire had done.
327
00:19:28,375 --> 00:19:32,796
At that point in Bonds' career,
he was already a Hall of Famer.
328
00:19:33,589 --> 00:19:37,676
He basically said to himself,
"I know I'm better than these guys."
329
00:19:37,759 --> 00:19:38,677
[man] Whoo!
330
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,723
[Schmidt] "There's no reason
I shouldn't be performing at that level."
331
00:19:42,806 --> 00:19:44,933
But he was at an age
332
00:19:45,017 --> 00:19:48,353
when most players' careers
are on the downtick,
333
00:19:48,437 --> 00:19:50,063
when they retire from the game.
334
00:19:50,147 --> 00:19:53,567
And... And I'm trying to think of,
what next level can I get to?
335
00:19:53,650 --> 00:19:55,903
What... What can keep me motivated
336
00:19:55,986 --> 00:19:58,655
to do the things that I've been doing
day in and day out?
337
00:19:58,739 --> 00:20:02,117
[Conte] Greg Anderson, Barry's trainer,
brought him to... to BALCO.
338
00:20:03,035 --> 00:20:06,330
You know,
he asked if... if we could work with Barry
339
00:20:06,413 --> 00:20:10,334
and test his blood and see what
nutritional elements that he may need.
340
00:20:10,417 --> 00:20:12,002
And then after providing Barry
341
00:20:12,085 --> 00:20:15,339
with a number of different
legal nutritional supplements.
342
00:20:16,215 --> 00:20:20,135
I've lost more championships
in my life more than ever, ever.
343
00:20:20,219 --> 00:20:25,349
I mean, I almost get numb at times.
It just eats me up so bad.
344
00:20:25,432 --> 00:20:27,142
[Conte] In a year's time there,
345
00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:29,478
Barry put on, like,
20 pounds in an off-season.
346
00:20:29,561 --> 00:20:31,688
My recollection is he weighed 208,
347
00:20:31,772 --> 00:20:34,942
and then the following season
he weighed 228.
348
00:20:35,692 --> 00:20:38,695
And so we provided all sorts
of nutritional supplements,
349
00:20:38,779 --> 00:20:40,530
but nothing beyond that.
350
00:20:41,490 --> 00:20:45,410
[producer] I think people assume you're
his doctor giving steroids all the time.
351
00:20:45,494 --> 00:20:48,163
Not true. He does have a personal doctor,
who I met, but...
352
00:20:48,247 --> 00:20:49,289
[chuckles]...it's not me.
353
00:20:49,373 --> 00:20:51,792
I not only didn't give him
The Clear or The Cream
354
00:20:51,875 --> 00:20:53,460
or any other anabolic steroids,
355
00:20:53,543 --> 00:20:58,257
but I've never even discussed steroids
with him, not a word ever.
356
00:20:58,340 --> 00:21:01,176
In my opinion,
the entire investigation was...
357
00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:03,178
Had everything to do with Barry Bonds.
358
00:21:03,262 --> 00:21:04,554
He was the target.
359
00:21:07,224 --> 00:21:08,809
[Novitzky] My name is Jeff Novitzky.
360
00:21:08,892 --> 00:21:12,187
I was lead investigator
on the BALCO Laboratories investigation,
361
00:21:12,271 --> 00:21:15,399
one of the highest-profile
performance-enhancing drug investigations
362
00:21:15,482 --> 00:21:16,482
of all time.
363
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:20,654
And I carry an immense,
immense love for sport.
364
00:21:20,737 --> 00:21:23,365
Basketball, I wanted to go
to the NBA until,
365
00:21:23,448 --> 00:21:24,825
maybe mid-part of college
366
00:21:24,908 --> 00:21:27,703
where you realize
that's probably not in the cards.
367
00:21:28,412 --> 00:21:32,582
And after college, came across an entry
from IRS criminal investigation division,
368
00:21:32,666 --> 00:21:36,712
and I'll never forget this, their motto
was "Be an accountant with a gun."
369
00:21:37,713 --> 00:21:39,214
And I thought, "All right,
370
00:21:39,298 --> 00:21:41,466
that's something
I could be interested in."
371
00:21:42,050 --> 00:21:45,762
I remember sitting in a class
and having a senior agent come in saying,
372
00:21:45,846 --> 00:21:48,432
"Make cases out of things
that you just see around you."
373
00:21:48,515 --> 00:21:50,395
"You don't need to wait
for an official referral
374
00:21:50,434 --> 00:21:51,643
from Washington, D.C."
375
00:21:52,227 --> 00:21:55,897
"If you see this really nice Ferrari
going down the street,
376
00:21:55,981 --> 00:21:59,818
run their plate and see if that person
would be making that kind of money."
377
00:21:59,901 --> 00:22:02,779
"If they don't, then maybe
you should look further into that."
378
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,534
And I started to hear
in the '90s about BALCO Laboratories,
379
00:22:07,617 --> 00:22:12,122
which, as the crow flies, is probably
less than a mile from where I lived.
380
00:22:12,205 --> 00:22:17,210
And that, despite them claiming
that they were a blood testing laboratory,
381
00:22:17,294 --> 00:22:21,340
what they were really doing is providing
athletes with performance-enhancing drugs.
382
00:22:22,674 --> 00:22:26,053
One of the first things I did was query
the currency transaction database,
383
00:22:26,136 --> 00:22:28,764
and saw that Victor Conte
and BALCO Laboratories
384
00:22:28,847 --> 00:22:32,309
were withdrawing hundreds
of thousands of dollars in currency
385
00:22:32,893 --> 00:22:35,354
for a purported blood testing laboratory.
386
00:22:35,437 --> 00:22:38,357
That, by itself, appeared suspicious
and didn't seem right.
387
00:22:39,483 --> 00:22:41,360
Go on to some
of the online message boards,
388
00:22:41,443 --> 00:22:44,780
and Victor Conte talks very openly
about steroids
389
00:22:44,863 --> 00:22:47,282
and his knowledge of what drugs do what,
390
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:51,286
about how much they cost,
about every athlete that he's worked with,
391
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:55,207
and when I saw these athletes
that were going to BALCO,
392
00:22:55,290 --> 00:22:58,043
including Barry Bonds,
I thought to myself,
393
00:22:58,126 --> 00:23:03,006
"This could potentially get more attention
than any investigation before it,
394
00:23:03,715 --> 00:23:08,220
so we probably need to kind of expand
and see who else is involved."
395
00:23:11,932 --> 00:23:15,727
My first time seeing Victor was in Sydney,
396
00:23:15,811 --> 00:23:19,314
and we partied every single day.
397
00:23:20,982 --> 00:23:22,609
Every single day.
398
00:23:22,692 --> 00:23:24,528
[chuckles]
399
00:23:24,611 --> 00:23:27,864
[Conte] At that time,
he was ranked number eight in the world.
400
00:23:27,948 --> 00:23:32,035
[commentator] Men's 4 by 100 underway,
and here's the handoff to Tim Montgomery
401
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,159
and the US has the lead...
402
00:23:33,203 --> 00:23:35,080
[Conte] He was one of the top guys.
403
00:23:35,163 --> 00:23:37,582
I decided it was time
to take it to another level,
404
00:23:37,666 --> 00:23:39,251
and help him break the world record.
405
00:23:40,335 --> 00:23:44,589
[Montgomery] At that time, the record
was 9.79, held by Maurice Greene.
406
00:23:44,673 --> 00:23:47,717
I was in that race,
1999, when he broke it in Greece.
407
00:23:48,552 --> 00:23:51,179
[commentator] Nine-seven-nine.
Does that ring a bell?
408
00:23:51,263 --> 00:23:52,639
As just mentioned, Ben Johnson
409
00:23:52,722 --> 00:23:55,434
had that very same time
at the '88 Olympics in Seoul,
410
00:23:55,517 --> 00:23:59,354
only to be stripped of the gold medal
after testing positive.
411
00:23:59,438 --> 00:24:01,982
[Montgomery] Whoever broke
the world record in the 100 meters,
412
00:24:02,065 --> 00:24:05,068
you were the fastest human ever.
413
00:24:05,152 --> 00:24:06,611
It's like a unicorn.
414
00:24:07,612 --> 00:24:11,616
I told Maurice, "It's yours for now,
but I'll be back to get it."
415
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:16,163
I had already run down
nine-nine-two in 1997. Clean.
416
00:24:16,246 --> 00:24:17,766
[commentator] ...at the finish line...
417
00:24:17,831 --> 00:24:22,502
Once Victor understood
that I had been clean,
418
00:24:23,628 --> 00:24:25,964
he said,
"You're gonna break the world record."
419
00:24:26,047 --> 00:24:28,633
I told Victor Conte,
"I don't care if I die."
420
00:24:29,217 --> 00:24:34,431
"I want to see what it feels like to be
the greatest at any cost possible."
421
00:24:34,514 --> 00:24:36,850
It's almost like
selling your soul to the devil.
422
00:24:37,851 --> 00:24:41,563
And that's when I made that decision
to help Tim Montgomery
423
00:24:41,646 --> 00:24:45,317
to become the world's fastest human,
and... and I took it as a challenge.
424
00:24:45,901 --> 00:24:48,028
And we were gonna call it
Project World Record.
425
00:24:48,111 --> 00:24:48,987
[man] Set.
426
00:24:49,070 --> 00:24:50,864
[intriguing jazz music playing]
427
00:24:50,947 --> 00:24:54,826
[Montgomery] When we got back,
we were going to put together the plan.
428
00:24:55,827 --> 00:24:58,455
What do the program needs to look like
429
00:24:58,538 --> 00:25:03,627
in order to get nine-nine-two
to nine-seven-five?
430
00:25:04,127 --> 00:25:08,215
So you can talk about stuff,
but can you implement and achieve it?
431
00:25:08,298 --> 00:25:11,343
That's a whole 'nother...
That separates the men from the boys.
432
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,305
I immediately reached out
to Charlie Francis,
433
00:25:15,388 --> 00:25:17,807
who was Ben Johnson's coach
and he lived in Toronto,
434
00:25:17,891 --> 00:25:20,727
and then I reached out to Milos Sarcev.
435
00:25:20,810 --> 00:25:22,521
They call him Milos the Mind
436
00:25:22,604 --> 00:25:24,606
because he's a very smart guy.
437
00:25:24,689 --> 00:25:27,025
In terms of the weight training program,
438
00:25:27,108 --> 00:25:31,446
Trevor Graham really was kind of
the frontman as a coach.
439
00:25:31,530 --> 00:25:36,451
[Montgomery] And then Victor Conte,
you're behind the pharmacology.
440
00:25:36,535 --> 00:25:42,207
[Conte] Taking growth hormones,
taking insulin, EPO, taking The Clear,
441
00:25:42,290 --> 00:25:44,751
and we created a... a calendar.
442
00:25:45,335 --> 00:25:46,920
[Montgomery] So when you on steroids,
443
00:25:47,003 --> 00:25:50,632
you have to have a plan
that goes with the medication.
444
00:25:51,633 --> 00:25:53,093
It was thrilling.
445
00:25:53,176 --> 00:25:55,804
[Conte] You know,
more does not mean better.
446
00:25:55,887 --> 00:25:58,515
This is how you optimize the drugs.
447
00:25:59,266 --> 00:26:03,061
He had a system.
I got me a real connect. A real doctor.
448
00:26:03,144 --> 00:26:05,939
Until I found out Victor wasn't a doctor.
449
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:09,985
[Conte] A lot of people
mistakenly call me doctor.
450
00:26:10,068 --> 00:26:11,987
I don't know why, 'cause I... I guess
451
00:26:12,070 --> 00:26:15,198
because I'm interpreting
blood test results and I'm giving them
452
00:26:15,282 --> 00:26:18,618
the type of information that a doctor
would give them, I guess.
453
00:26:18,702 --> 00:26:22,914
Most people know me as a bass player.
454
00:26:24,457 --> 00:26:27,085
I played with many groups that had albums.
455
00:26:27,168 --> 00:26:29,879
Uh, the most famous
would be Tower of Power.
456
00:26:29,963 --> 00:26:32,090
["What is Hip" by Tower of Power playing]

♪ The passing years would show
You into a hip trip ♪
458
00:26:35,468 --> 00:26:37,637
But I had three daughters.
459
00:26:37,721 --> 00:26:40,765
I was on the road ten months a year,
460
00:26:40,849 --> 00:26:43,852
and I'd come back
and they'd be this much taller.
461
00:26:45,270 --> 00:26:46,646
Hi, camera.
462
00:26:46,730 --> 00:26:49,149
- [Conte] Well, how are you?
- How are you?
463
00:26:49,232 --> 00:26:51,276
[Conte] I want you to tell me
what your name is.
464
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:52,652
What's your name?
465
00:26:52,736 --> 00:26:54,821
[Conte] No, you tell me what's your name.
466
00:26:54,904 --> 00:26:58,158
- My name is Veronica.
- [Conte] Where do you live at?
467
00:26:58,241 --> 00:27:00,327
We... I live at my house.
468
00:27:00,410 --> 00:27:04,414
My youngest memory, there were always
athletes around, and oftentimes,
469
00:27:04,497 --> 00:27:07,292
the people we were going to support
were making big achievements
470
00:27:07,375 --> 00:27:08,918
and so it was exciting.
471
00:27:09,002 --> 00:27:13,298
[Conte] Could you tell Daddy what the name
of the place is that he works at?
472
00:27:13,381 --> 00:27:15,634
- Yeah.
- [Conte] What's the name?
473
00:27:15,717 --> 00:27:17,636
It's BALCO.
474
00:27:17,719 --> 00:27:20,722
[Conte] BALCO? What is...
What does BALCO do?
475
00:27:21,389 --> 00:27:23,350
You working.
476
00:27:23,433 --> 00:27:26,061
[Conte] I know, but what do I do there?
What kind of work?
477
00:27:26,144 --> 00:27:30,649
So I would say in my teenage years was
when I really knew, "Okay, this is..."
478
00:27:30,732 --> 00:27:32,317
"My dad's involved in the dark side."
479
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,780
And he was just open and honest with me
about what was going on.
480
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,200
At the time,
I knew that he was kind of the mastermind
481
00:27:40,283 --> 00:27:42,786
behind this Project World Record effort.
482
00:27:50,377 --> 00:27:52,629

00:27:52,712 --> 00:27:54,506
[Conte] Oh, this is Modesto Relays.

That was the first race
where he won in a world-leading time.
487
00:28:03,765 --> 00:28:05,475
Tim just destroyed it.
488
00:28:07,310 --> 00:28:08,937
[Veronica] Tim won. Tim won!
489
00:28:09,020 --> 00:28:10,939
- [man] He did?
- [Veronica] Tim won!
490
00:28:11,022 --> 00:28:12,667
- Oh my God!
- [man] They're shaking hands.
491
00:28:12,691 --> 00:28:15,777
[Veronica] They're shaking hands, so cute.
I love this!
492
00:28:15,860 --> 00:28:18,571
This is the most exciting thing
I've ever experienced.
493
00:28:19,072 --> 00:28:22,075
[Conte] On the back of his shirt,
it says "Project World Record."
494
00:28:22,659 --> 00:28:23,910
We were there announcing
495
00:28:23,993 --> 00:28:26,204
that we were going
to break the world record.
496
00:28:26,746 --> 00:28:31,334
I ran nine-nine-six.
We knew from then it was no stopping.
497
00:28:31,418 --> 00:28:33,002
[propulsive music playing]
498
00:28:33,086 --> 00:28:35,380
[Conte] The transformation was incredible.
499
00:28:35,463 --> 00:28:37,143
[Montgomery]
Starting Project World Record,
500
00:28:37,173 --> 00:28:39,718
I weighed 148 pounds.
501
00:28:40,885 --> 00:28:42,971
[Conte] We bulked him up to 176.
502
00:28:43,054 --> 00:28:46,307
We put, like, 28 pounds of muscle on him
in a short period of time.
503
00:28:49,394 --> 00:28:51,521
Greg Anderson was coming to BALCO
504
00:28:51,604 --> 00:28:54,566
to help Tim Montgomery
with all the weight training,
505
00:28:54,649 --> 00:28:59,028
and in eight weeks his bench press
went from 265 to 345.
506
00:28:59,112 --> 00:29:00,989
Ten pounds a week increase.
507
00:29:01,072 --> 00:29:04,617
He looked like an NFL linebacker,
and previously they called him Tiny Tim.
508
00:29:04,701 --> 00:29:08,288
[Montgomery] It was incredible.
Felt like Conan the Barbarian.
509
00:29:08,371 --> 00:29:09,247
[clang]
510
00:29:09,330 --> 00:29:12,000
[Montgomery] Me and Victor,
we were together all day.
511
00:29:12,083 --> 00:29:15,670
Ate breakfast together, lunch together,
dinner together, we partied together.
512
00:29:15,754 --> 00:29:17,964
It became like we're a team.
513
00:29:18,047 --> 00:29:19,299
My habits changed.
514
00:29:19,382 --> 00:29:20,967
I had a plan,
515
00:29:21,050 --> 00:29:24,429
how much to take, when to take them,
and what to take with them.
516
00:29:25,096 --> 00:29:26,765
You know, he became kind of muscle-bound.
517
00:29:26,848 --> 00:29:30,059
You could see he was running like this
because his lats were so big.
518
00:29:30,143 --> 00:29:32,729
Then we cut him back to about 160.
519
00:29:32,812 --> 00:29:34,272
Victor Conte was honcho.
520
00:29:35,023 --> 00:29:37,400
And then from there, I went to Oslo.
521
00:29:37,484 --> 00:29:39,587
[commentator] On the right,
here comes Tim Montgomery.
522
00:29:39,611 --> 00:29:42,363
It's Montgomery in lane four
with a late surge.
523
00:29:42,447 --> 00:29:45,658
Unofficially 9.84 seconds.
524
00:29:45,742 --> 00:29:47,076
[Montgomery] And I felt so good.
525
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,578
Oh, I could beat everybody.
526
00:29:48,661 --> 00:29:51,247
[commentator] Boy, the difference
has been pronounced this year.
527
00:29:51,331 --> 00:29:53,917
Only Maurice Greene has ever run faster.
528
00:29:54,876 --> 00:29:59,839
This is the transformation that happens.
It... It makes you Superman.
529
00:29:59,923 --> 00:30:02,342
[reporter] Montgomery makes history,
but more importantly,
530
00:30:02,425 --> 00:30:04,552
he sends shock waves
through the sprint world.
531
00:30:04,636 --> 00:30:07,472
What has Trevor been teaching you?
Trevor Graham, your coach now.
532
00:30:07,555 --> 00:30:09,224
To stay patient and wait for it to come.
533
00:30:09,307 --> 00:30:12,068
Don't try to break the world record,
let the world record come to you.
534
00:30:15,146 --> 00:30:16,147
[man] Go!
535
00:30:16,231 --> 00:30:18,942
We were like,
"Next race we break the world record."
536
00:30:19,025 --> 00:30:21,611
"Next race. Next race up,
we break the world record."
537
00:30:22,111 --> 00:30:25,865
You're on the edge
of greatness and disaster.
538
00:30:26,908 --> 00:30:29,369
That feeling becomes addictive.
539
00:30:31,788 --> 00:30:32,789
[pouring]
540
00:30:34,749 --> 00:30:36,376
[ding]
541
00:30:37,585 --> 00:30:40,421
[Novitzky] For me, this thing
that I love so much, sport,
542
00:30:40,505 --> 00:30:45,426
were being sullied by the presence
of PEDs and breaking rules,
543
00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:48,721
and the unethical decisions of,
"Well, I'm gonna break this rule
544
00:30:48,805 --> 00:30:51,432
because it's gonna get me
something good on the other end."
545
00:30:52,308 --> 00:30:54,686
And so this case consumed my life.
546
00:30:54,769 --> 00:30:56,813
It literally consumed my life, and...
547
00:30:56,896 --> 00:30:58,857
From the time I woke up in the morning,
548
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,861
to the time that I went to sleep at night,
that's literally all I was thinking of.
549
00:31:02,944 --> 00:31:04,988
- [whirring]
- [mellow jazz music playing]
550
00:31:12,745 --> 00:31:16,624
[producer] What gave you the idea
to go through his trash to begin with?
551
00:31:16,708 --> 00:31:20,461
Yeah, I think that was a technique
in the first couple of years of my career,
552
00:31:20,545 --> 00:31:23,715
and a lot of agents didn't like to do it,
'cause it wasn't fun.
553
00:31:25,049 --> 00:31:27,051
[jazz music continues]
554
00:31:30,263 --> 00:31:35,435
However, I don't think trash examinations
have ever gotten as much notoriety...
555
00:31:35,518 --> 00:31:37,118
[chuckling]...and coverage as mine did.
556
00:31:40,648 --> 00:31:42,942
So BALCO was
a lower-risk trash collection.
557
00:31:43,026 --> 00:31:46,029
They put their trash out
every Monday night.
558
00:31:46,112 --> 00:31:48,698
And I'd go, you know, 11:00, midnight,
559
00:31:48,781 --> 00:31:51,242
got in and out of there
as fast as possible.
560
00:31:57,457 --> 00:32:01,294
This is just various stuff
that was unsealed during the BALCO trial.
561
00:32:01,878 --> 00:32:04,505
This is where the trash
was placed every night.
562
00:32:04,589 --> 00:32:07,050
Was right about here,
where in the mornings,
563
00:32:07,133 --> 00:32:09,385
the dump... you know,
the trashman would come collect it,
564
00:32:09,469 --> 00:32:12,388
but he'd come here and it'd be empty
'cause I took it the night before.
565
00:32:15,058 --> 00:32:19,646
I'd usually drive it to a dumpster
that was well-lit, kind of in the area,
566
00:32:19,729 --> 00:32:23,775
so that I could discard the smelly stuff,
food items, that I didn't want.
567
00:32:26,027 --> 00:32:29,072
I remember bringing stuff home
the first night
568
00:32:29,155 --> 00:32:34,035
and I started finding these, uh,
medications, used like, torn-up wrappers.
569
00:32:34,118 --> 00:32:37,664
And I'm like, "Hey, am I... am I right
in seeing what I'm seeing right here?"
570
00:32:37,747 --> 00:32:40,458
[Catlin] He needed to know
what the drugs were that he was finding,
571
00:32:40,541 --> 00:32:42,085
and so he called our lab.
572
00:32:42,168 --> 00:32:45,004
[chuckling] The lab folks
were suspicious, frankly.
573
00:32:45,088 --> 00:32:48,716
They were just... You know, it was some
random person playing an IRS agent.
574
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:53,096
[Novitzky] Basically came out
and told him what I was doing, um,
575
00:32:53,179 --> 00:32:54,514
and what I was finding.
576
00:32:55,264 --> 00:32:58,434
[chuckling] And realized
that Jeff really was an IRS agent.
577
00:32:59,018 --> 00:33:01,854
[Novitzky] We started putting
some pieces of the puzzle together.
578
00:33:02,438 --> 00:33:05,942
So this was the first night I did,
and this was human growth hormone,
579
00:33:06,025 --> 00:33:09,320
a torn-up box, the box of testosterone.
580
00:33:10,571 --> 00:33:13,366
Here's the note
from a world champion shot putter.
581
00:33:13,449 --> 00:33:17,078
"Here's a check for the next cycle.
I need it by the end of the week."
582
00:33:17,161 --> 00:33:18,161
"Thanks. Kevin."
583
00:33:18,746 --> 00:33:22,625
He was just careless and haphazard
in what trash he threw away
584
00:33:22,709 --> 00:33:25,461
as anyone I've ever run across
in my law enforcement career.
585
00:33:30,008 --> 00:33:31,551
[tense music builds]
586
00:33:31,634 --> 00:33:33,034
[commentator 1] Top of the wrist...
587
00:33:33,094 --> 00:33:36,889
[commentator 2] Here's a long home run
by Bonds, number 39.
588
00:33:36,973 --> 00:33:38,766
It sails over the fence.
589
00:33:39,642 --> 00:33:44,022
This is the hottest man
in the history of baseball, home run-wise,
590
00:33:44,105 --> 00:33:47,025
at this point
in any season over 100 years.
591
00:33:47,108 --> 00:33:53,823
In 2001, Barry was going
for the 70 home run... The season record.
592
00:33:53,906 --> 00:33:56,576
It was very exciting
for me to... to know him
593
00:33:56,659 --> 00:33:58,244
and to be a fan of his
594
00:33:58,327 --> 00:34:01,581
and doing my best to help him
in any way that I could.
595
00:34:01,664 --> 00:34:03,916
[commentator] Number 43
on the year for Bonds.
596
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,544
[Schmidt] So you've had this guy
with a Hall of Fame career,
597
00:34:06,627 --> 00:34:08,087
he's on the downslide,
598
00:34:08,671 --> 00:34:12,675
and all of a sudden
he begins performing at a level
599
00:34:12,759 --> 00:34:14,802
that... that even Babe Ruth couldn't.
600
00:34:15,845 --> 00:34:17,388
[commentator] Number 45 for Bonds.
601
00:34:17,472 --> 00:34:21,017
I've never seen anything like this
in my life besides Mark McGwire,
602
00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:21,976
and Sammy Sosa...
603
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:25,229
[reporter] Forty-nine homers faster
than any major-leaguer in history.
604
00:34:25,313 --> 00:34:27,523
I can't explain it.
If I knew what I was doing
605
00:34:27,607 --> 00:34:29,442
I would've done this a long time ago.
606
00:34:29,525 --> 00:34:31,527
[commentator] Fifty for Barry Bonds.
607
00:34:31,611 --> 00:34:35,948
[Novitzky] I think it was almost genius
that his scheme primarily was,
608
00:34:36,032 --> 00:34:38,451
"Barry Bonds, I'm going
to give you these drugs."
609
00:34:38,534 --> 00:34:41,120
"Don't pay me checks, money orders, wire."
610
00:34:41,204 --> 00:34:44,874
"Instead, you're going to promote
my SNAC line of supplements."
611
00:34:44,957 --> 00:34:49,629
The acronym stands for Scientific
Nutrition for Advanced Conditioning.
612
00:34:49,712 --> 00:34:52,715
The AM formula is called Vitalize.
613
00:34:52,799 --> 00:34:56,052
The PM formula is called ZMA.
614
00:34:56,135 --> 00:35:00,139
Tell the world that this is the reason why
you're approaching the home run record.
615
00:35:00,223 --> 00:35:02,475
[commentator] It is outta here!
616
00:35:02,558 --> 00:35:06,062
[Conte] Would you like to vitalize
your mind and vitalize your body?
617
00:35:06,145 --> 00:35:09,398
Then it's time to get
vitalized with the SNAC system.
618
00:35:09,482 --> 00:35:12,360
[rock music playing]
619
00:35:14,195 --> 00:35:17,740
[Conte] ZMA, it blew up
to the point where, in 2000,
620
00:35:18,366 --> 00:35:21,410
we had four different brands of ZMA
621
00:35:21,494 --> 00:35:25,915
in all 9,000 GNC stores nationwide.
622
00:35:26,415 --> 00:35:30,128
So you'd walk around any mall
and see ZMA in the window.
623
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,713
This is Mr. Barry Bonds.
624
00:35:33,256 --> 00:35:35,133
This is a photo shoot that he did
625
00:35:35,216 --> 00:35:38,094
and they had a capture of him
on the front cover.
626
00:35:38,177 --> 00:35:41,264
[Novitzky] "And I want you to go out
and talk to Muscle and Fitness
627
00:35:41,347 --> 00:35:43,975
about how great my supplement line is."
628
00:35:44,058 --> 00:35:46,978
"Say, 'Liquid ZMA
helped me get five medals
629
00:35:47,061 --> 00:35:50,356
at the Sydney Olympics and break
these home run records.'"
630
00:35:51,023 --> 00:35:53,359
And, I mean,
that paid off a tremendous amount.
631
00:35:53,442 --> 00:35:56,445
I'm sure hundreds of thousands,
if not millions, in sales.
632
00:35:57,363 --> 00:35:58,823
[commentator] Here's the pitch.
633
00:35:58,906 --> 00:36:02,034
Bonds hits one hard to right field.
634
00:36:02,118 --> 00:36:03,286
Outta here!
635
00:36:03,953 --> 00:36:09,542
And he joins Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa,
Babe Ruth and Roger Maris,
636
00:36:09,625 --> 00:36:14,881
the only players to hit 60
or more home runs in a season.
637
00:36:14,964 --> 00:36:15,798
[Conte] Oh.
638
00:36:15,882 --> 00:36:20,303
This is a... This is a room
where we dress up all the athletes.
639
00:36:20,386 --> 00:36:23,556
[chuckling] As you can see,
we got lots of different gear here.
640
00:36:25,308 --> 00:36:27,143
So, branding is how I win.
641
00:36:28,269 --> 00:36:31,689
[Montgomery] We were thinking that,
okay, we promote the ZMA,
642
00:36:31,772 --> 00:36:36,277
no one would find out
about what's behind the scene of the ZMA.
643
00:36:36,777 --> 00:36:38,613
He has the top athletes.
644
00:36:40,198 --> 00:36:43,367
It's like, when you're doing a crime,
645
00:36:43,451 --> 00:36:47,288
you think you're the smartest person
that's committing the crime.
646
00:36:48,289 --> 00:36:51,751
Then you look back and say, "That was
the dumbest thing I ever thought of."
647
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,215
[commentator 1] The men's 100-meter dash
presented by Pontiac Grand Prix.
648
00:36:57,298 --> 00:37:00,635
[commentator 2] And there's a man who
I think is running very well this year.
649
00:37:00,718 --> 00:37:03,198
Tim Montgomery, I think,
is the favorite going into this final.
650
00:37:03,262 --> 00:37:04,302
[commentator 1] Has to be.
651
00:37:05,139 --> 00:37:09,018
Back in the finals
of the men's 100 meters at US trials,
652
00:37:09,101 --> 00:37:14,315
Nike was going to give me $50,000
to wear their clothes in the finals.
653
00:37:14,899 --> 00:37:16,567
[Conte] Tim wore the ZMA logo
654
00:37:16,651 --> 00:37:18,903
and we had two or three
different outfits made
655
00:37:18,986 --> 00:37:23,157
that were one piece that had ZMA on 'em,
and he wore them in many races.
656
00:37:23,241 --> 00:37:27,161
We already had an agreement
that was made that he would wear it,
657
00:37:27,245 --> 00:37:30,706
and then at the last minute
there was some mention that,
658
00:37:30,790 --> 00:37:32,792
"Oh, Nike wants me to wear their stuff."
659
00:37:33,376 --> 00:37:34,502
And Victor was like,
660
00:37:35,086 --> 00:37:37,630
"Who you going to be loyal to,
me or them?"
661
00:37:38,214 --> 00:37:40,341
So I'm like, "It's 50,000 dollar, homie."
662
00:37:40,424 --> 00:37:43,010
And he was like,
"My time is worth millions."
663
00:37:43,094 --> 00:37:45,137
Project team leader's the boss,
664
00:37:45,221 --> 00:37:48,224
the project team leader's the one
that finances the whole project.
665
00:37:48,724 --> 00:37:52,770
So I say, "Okay, you have been with me.
I'm going to wear ZMA in the finals."
666
00:37:54,146 --> 00:37:58,651
Not one person in track and field
has ever run with a vitamin company...
667
00:37:58,734 --> 00:38:00,319
[chuckling]...on their uniform
668
00:38:00,903 --> 00:38:03,072
in the history of track and field.
669
00:38:03,572 --> 00:38:07,076
[commentator] Here comes Montgomery,
and it is Tim Montgomery...
670
00:38:07,159 --> 00:38:08,828
[Montgomery] I wore ZMA in the finals
671
00:38:08,911 --> 00:38:11,038
and then I signed with Nike
after the race,
672
00:38:11,122 --> 00:38:13,541
and Victor was upset
673
00:38:14,041 --> 00:38:16,127
because he wanted
to control that contract.
674
00:38:16,210 --> 00:38:20,172
He went from being a doctor
to now an agent.
675
00:38:20,673 --> 00:38:24,218
If I had a signed agreement with Victor,
you would have seen it on the screen.
676
00:38:25,177 --> 00:38:27,263
For going to the world championship,
677
00:38:27,346 --> 00:38:31,475
Victor had already hit me with...
He wanted 35 percent of my winnings.
678
00:38:32,476 --> 00:38:35,146
It was the percentage
that he wanted going forward.
679
00:38:35,646 --> 00:38:38,733
[Conte] That's... I never asked
for any percentage of his winnings ever.
680
00:38:38,816 --> 00:38:42,111
That's just a complete lie
and a fabrication by... by Tim.
681
00:38:42,194 --> 00:38:43,404
He was committed to me.
682
00:38:43,487 --> 00:38:46,699
I brought him to the dance,
now he's gonna dance with somebody else?
683
00:38:46,782 --> 00:38:48,784
You tell me, is that... is that fair?
684
00:38:49,952 --> 00:38:54,290
And so, at a certain point, I just said,
"Well, I can't continue with this guy."
685
00:38:54,373 --> 00:38:56,417
I terminated my relationship with him.
686
00:38:56,959 --> 00:39:02,798
[Montgomery] I'm trying to fathom him
saying he ended the relationship with me
687
00:39:02,882 --> 00:39:05,801
and I'm on the verge
of breaking the world record.
688
00:39:05,885 --> 00:39:07,470
Listen, I like Victor.
689
00:39:07,553 --> 00:39:08,846
Victor hurt me...
690
00:39:10,222 --> 00:39:12,475
when he wanted 35%,
691
00:39:12,558 --> 00:39:14,602
because I considered him as a friend.
692
00:39:15,478 --> 00:39:19,357
"Look into my eyes and tell me
you feel like I owe you something."
693
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,235
"What did you give me
for wearing ZMA at US trials?"
694
00:39:23,319 --> 00:39:26,697
So I was done with Victor, period.
695
00:39:26,781 --> 00:39:30,618
And Victor was like,
"Oh. Oh, you can't walk away."
696
00:39:30,701 --> 00:39:33,037
"I'm the show.
You ain't gonna run fast without me."
697
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,998
I said, "Watch me.
I can do this on my own."
698
00:39:42,129 --> 00:39:44,382
[engine running]
699
00:39:44,465 --> 00:39:45,466
[engine stops]
700
00:39:54,934 --> 00:39:55,768
[door closes]
701
00:39:55,851 --> 00:39:59,438
[suspenseful music playing]
702
00:40:02,775 --> 00:40:04,944
[Novitzky] One thing, I was finding, uh,
703
00:40:05,027 --> 00:40:08,489
dozens of discarded
one-use syringe wrappers
704
00:40:08,572 --> 00:40:12,660
but no syringes, and thought,
"Man, if I had the syringe,
705
00:40:12,743 --> 00:40:16,122
maybe I could send the syringe
for DNA analysis."
706
00:40:16,205 --> 00:40:18,707
We were able to subpoena
the medical waste company,
707
00:40:18,791 --> 00:40:22,128
so when they picked up the medical waste,
the sharps box from BALCO
708
00:40:22,211 --> 00:40:25,339
on a weekly basis,
they'd bring it back to their hub,
709
00:40:25,423 --> 00:40:28,384
set it aside for me
and I would go through that.
710
00:40:28,467 --> 00:40:30,177
Syringes we sent to laboratories.
711
00:40:30,261 --> 00:40:31,804
They were able to extract
712
00:40:31,887 --> 00:40:35,307
what the substances were
being, uh, injected.
713
00:40:36,016 --> 00:40:39,186
We were keeping track
of what mail was being delivered.
714
00:40:39,854 --> 00:40:43,691
They will give you where the mail's
coming from and who it's addressed to.
715
00:40:44,775 --> 00:40:47,653
And even found
an email from Patrick Arnold,
716
00:40:47,736 --> 00:40:52,450
where he's chronicling sending
Victor Conte the designer steroid.
717
00:40:52,533 --> 00:40:55,327
Financial ledgers
showing payments from the athletes,
718
00:40:55,995 --> 00:41:00,207
invoices for a substance
called epitestosterone.
719
00:41:00,708 --> 00:41:02,084
When you use The Clear,
720
00:41:02,168 --> 00:41:05,629
it would throw your natural hormone
imbalance completely out of whack,
721
00:41:05,713 --> 00:41:08,382
and that was something
that anti-doping was looking at.
722
00:41:08,466 --> 00:41:12,845
They were looking at something called
the testosterone to epitestosterone ratio.
723
00:41:12,928 --> 00:41:17,766
In sport, there's a four to one ratio
that we look for of T to E.
724
00:41:17,850 --> 00:41:22,813
If it's above four to one, that's a sign
that somebody's doping with testosterone.
725
00:41:25,357 --> 00:41:28,777
[Novitzky] Victor Conte
created the Cream to bring up that ratio
726
00:41:28,861 --> 00:41:31,655
so that the testosterone
would not get out of whack
727
00:41:31,739 --> 00:41:33,240
and show an abnormal ratio.
728
00:41:34,283 --> 00:41:39,330
Using these protocols
to try to avoid detection,
729
00:41:39,413 --> 00:41:41,165
it's absolutely a cat-and-mouse game.
730
00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:48,690
[commentator] Annihilated it,
but to the second baseman,
731
00:41:48,714 --> 00:41:51,383
who turned it into a double play
the first time he faced him.
732
00:41:51,467 --> 00:41:55,054
Bonds swings, and there it goes.
It's heading for McCovey Cove.
733
00:41:55,137 --> 00:41:56,305
It is gone!
734
00:41:56,388 --> 00:41:57,389
A home run.
735
00:41:58,182 --> 00:42:00,768
Number 69 for Bonds.
736
00:42:01,352 --> 00:42:05,773
[Schmidt] I think the whole thing
starts to get a little curious.
737
00:42:05,856 --> 00:42:07,608
Like, what's really going on here?
738
00:42:07,691 --> 00:42:12,071
You know, baseball made a big deal
and the media made a big deal
739
00:42:12,154 --> 00:42:15,449
that players were, you know,
lifting weights, you know, in ways
740
00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:17,409
that players hadn't in decades before,
741
00:42:17,493 --> 00:42:23,624
and they're eating better and, you know,
that's why they're hitting more home runs,
742
00:42:23,707 --> 00:42:26,919
but it didn't totally add up.
743
00:42:27,503 --> 00:42:30,089
[commentator] He's within
one of the record.
744
00:42:30,881 --> 00:42:33,217
You know,
I saw these numbers being put out
745
00:42:33,300 --> 00:42:35,469
and knew what was going on
behind the scenes
746
00:42:35,553 --> 00:42:37,471
and knew that they weren't real.
747
00:42:37,555 --> 00:42:40,307
They were as a result
of using these... these substances.
748
00:42:40,391 --> 00:42:41,642
[audience cheering]
749
00:42:41,725 --> 00:42:43,143
[commentator] Bonds with a drive...
750
00:42:43,227 --> 00:42:46,689
Looks like number 70 for Barry Bonds.
751
00:42:46,772 --> 00:42:53,279
And it is! Tying the all-time record set
in 1998 by Mark McGwire.
752
00:42:53,362 --> 00:42:56,532
[Conte] Can somebody gain 20 pounds
in a year, you know,
753
00:42:56,615 --> 00:42:57,783
without using steroids?
754
00:42:57,866 --> 00:42:59,535
And the answer is, they can.
755
00:43:00,494 --> 00:43:03,205
You know, it depends upon
what sort of training you're doing,
756
00:43:03,289 --> 00:43:06,625
how many calories you're consuming,
and what those calories consist of.
757
00:43:06,709 --> 00:43:09,670
[producer] I thought you gave
Barry Bonds a lot of steroids?
758
00:43:09,753 --> 00:43:12,881
[chuckles] No, I did not
give Barry Bonds any steroids.
759
00:43:13,966 --> 00:43:17,136
[commentator] There's a high drive
deep into right center field,
760
00:43:17,219 --> 00:43:19,013
to the big part of the ballpark!
761
00:43:19,096 --> 00:43:20,889
Number 71!
762
00:43:20,973 --> 00:43:22,600
And what a shot!
763
00:43:22,683 --> 00:43:25,894
Over the 421-foot marker.
764
00:43:27,438 --> 00:43:30,232
[Conte] I mean, I was not with him
when he was training.
765
00:43:30,316 --> 00:43:33,444
Greg was pretty much administering
whatever supplements that he took.
766
00:43:34,111 --> 00:43:36,196
[producer] And had you given
The Clear to Greg?
767
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:37,281
Yes.
768
00:43:37,364 --> 00:43:40,242
This seems like a gotcha moment
that you want to go say,
769
00:43:40,326 --> 00:43:42,494
"I... I know Barry Bonds took steroids."
770
00:43:43,037 --> 00:43:45,706
That's not gonna happen
because I don't know that.
771
00:43:45,789 --> 00:43:48,000
Now, do you want me to guess?
772
00:43:48,083 --> 00:43:50,961
You want me to guess
if I think Barry Bonds took steroids?
773
00:43:51,045 --> 00:43:52,254
I think it's likely.
774
00:43:52,755 --> 00:43:54,715
Do I have any direct evidence?
775
00:43:55,299 --> 00:43:59,595
Only what I saw in terms of the discovery
that they gave me
776
00:43:59,678 --> 00:44:04,808
after the fact of some of the records
that Greg kept indicate that.
777
00:44:08,103 --> 00:44:09,229
[producer] Who's this one?
778
00:44:18,989 --> 00:44:22,785
It says "Bib," B-I-B.
I... I don't know who that is.
779
00:44:22,868 --> 00:44:25,329
And then it says "March"
and it says "April."
780
00:44:26,205 --> 00:44:27,706
Let me see what else is on there.
781
00:44:27,790 --> 00:44:29,541
[producer] Could that be
Barry Lamar Bonds?
782
00:44:30,709 --> 00:44:35,297
[Conte] Could... Could be B-L-B,
but this... this is not my handwriting.
783
00:44:35,381 --> 00:44:37,675
I hate to speculate or guess.
784
00:44:37,758 --> 00:44:40,052
You know,
this could have been Greg Anderson,
785
00:44:40,135 --> 00:44:41,637
I... I don't know that.
786
00:44:41,720 --> 00:44:44,682
So, I... This is the first time
I've ever seen this.
787
00:44:54,274 --> 00:44:56,360
[Montgomery] In 2002,
I had no reason to panic,
788
00:44:56,443 --> 00:44:58,404
I had every reason to be happy.
789
00:44:58,904 --> 00:45:00,030
I'm training good.
790
00:45:00,698 --> 00:45:04,284
My times were even better
or the same, you know?
791
00:45:04,368 --> 00:45:09,373
[commentator] Tim Montgomery pulling away
from everybody with 9.91 seconds.
792
00:45:09,456 --> 00:45:11,417
He is getting more and more consistent.
793
00:45:11,500 --> 00:45:14,837
[Conte] He continued on
working with Charlie Francis
794
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,089
with Trevor Graham as the frontman.
795
00:45:17,172 --> 00:45:20,509
And he had stockpiled enough of the drugs
that I'd given him.
796
00:45:20,592 --> 00:45:22,177
[Montgomery stammering] No.
797
00:45:22,261 --> 00:45:23,261
No.
798
00:45:23,303 --> 00:45:26,223
Not a person in this world
got a year's supply from Victor.
799
00:45:26,306 --> 00:45:28,976
He rations out everything week by week.
800
00:45:29,727 --> 00:45:32,646
I only had insulin
that was non-detectable,
801
00:45:32,730 --> 00:45:34,440
and I had HGH.
802
00:45:34,523 --> 00:45:39,403
So, as the year kept going,
I kept getting faster.
803
00:45:40,279 --> 00:45:44,616
And so last track meet of the year,
we at Grand Prix finals.
804
00:45:44,700 --> 00:45:47,369
[commentator] Running 9.91
earlier this year
805
00:45:47,453 --> 00:45:49,580
was Tim Montgomery in lane five.
806
00:45:49,663 --> 00:45:52,708
My mind was all over the place
coming out there.
807
00:45:52,791 --> 00:45:53,917
I just rolled with it.
808
00:45:54,001 --> 00:45:56,396
[commentator] ...Olympic gold medalist
and world record holder.
809
00:45:56,420 --> 00:45:59,923
You feel like you are ready for it
'cause you trained up to that moment
810
00:46:00,007 --> 00:46:01,425
to do something great.
811
00:46:02,301 --> 00:46:04,303
Greatness comes when greatness comes.
812
00:46:04,386 --> 00:46:06,388
- [commentator] ...is in lane four.
- [man] Set!
813
00:46:07,556 --> 00:46:08,766
[commentator] Very fast start.
814
00:46:08,849 --> 00:46:12,269
Out quickly is Tim Montgomery.
Chambers beside him now.
815
00:46:12,352 --> 00:46:14,146
That was the part of me dreaming
816
00:46:14,229 --> 00:46:16,940
that one day I'd be a part
of something that would be great.
817
00:46:17,024 --> 00:46:20,652
[commentator] Montgomery with slight lead,
Montgomery by two feet, three feet.
818
00:46:21,153 --> 00:46:25,991
Nine-point-seven-eight seconds,
a world record for Tim Montgomery.
819
00:46:26,074 --> 00:46:28,619
Sensational performance to win...
820
00:46:29,119 --> 00:46:30,496
It was historic.
821
00:46:31,330 --> 00:46:32,998
[commentator] Nine-seven-eight.
822
00:46:33,081 --> 00:46:35,709
They posted what his reaction
time out of the blocks was.
823
00:46:35,793 --> 00:46:38,378
You cannot be
faster than one-tenth of a second.
824
00:46:38,879 --> 00:46:42,925
And so everybody,
"You see what you just done?"
825
00:46:43,008 --> 00:46:44,092
And I look back...
826
00:46:45,552 --> 00:46:48,055
it is nine-seven-eight, and I'm like...
827
00:46:49,139 --> 00:46:50,557
And the world just go black.
828
00:46:50,641 --> 00:46:54,311
[commentator] And it is official,
a world record for Tim Montgomery.
829
00:46:54,394 --> 00:46:56,730
[Montgomery] When I took the lap
and I came back around
830
00:46:56,814 --> 00:47:01,902
and I took the picture by 9.78,
I said to myself, "You done it."
831
00:47:02,486 --> 00:47:03,654
"You done it."
832
00:47:04,238 --> 00:47:07,157
[Conte] You know,
it was kind of bittersweet because
833
00:47:07,241 --> 00:47:10,077
I knew that wouldn't have happened
without me and without Milos
834
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,247
and without Charlie,
and it... it was a brain trust.
835
00:47:13,330 --> 00:47:15,833
It took... He certainly
couldn't have done it on his own.
836
00:47:16,416 --> 00:47:18,252
That's my opinion anyway.
837
00:47:18,961 --> 00:47:21,064
[reporter] ...new world record holder,
Tim Montgomery.
838
00:47:21,088 --> 00:47:23,298
You just stepped right in and took it all.
839
00:47:23,382 --> 00:47:25,926
It's unbelievable.
That's all I can say. It's unbelievable.
840
00:47:26,009 --> 00:47:27,135
[laughter]
841
00:47:27,219 --> 00:47:29,721
[reporter] How you gonna top this
for next year, Tim?
842
00:47:29,805 --> 00:47:31,098
Nine-seventy-five.
843
00:47:31,598 --> 00:47:34,726
I thought the next chapter of my life
was going to be, oh,
844
00:47:34,810 --> 00:47:36,854
the greatest of all time.
845
00:47:38,188 --> 00:47:40,524
Ended up being a nightmare. [chuckles]
846
00:47:42,734 --> 00:47:48,240
This instrument over here
that we have is a triple quad LC-MS.
847
00:47:48,323 --> 00:47:51,785
What you're looking at here
can take apart a molecule,
848
00:47:51,869 --> 00:47:54,288
put it into multiple different peaks
849
00:47:54,371 --> 00:47:58,834
that can then be fingerprinted
and matched to a drug in question.
850
00:47:58,917 --> 00:48:03,130
So, this was what we used
to be able to break the code
851
00:48:03,213 --> 00:48:04,631
and break the back of BALCO.
852
00:48:05,757 --> 00:48:06,592
[click]
853
00:48:06,675 --> 00:48:10,721
[Catlin] The process
of actually decoding what The Clear was
854
00:48:10,804 --> 00:48:15,350
started when this mystery
syringe arrived at our laboratory.
855
00:48:15,434 --> 00:48:19,688
[Novitzky] Turned out that that steroid
was given to USADA by Trevor Graham,
856
00:48:19,771 --> 00:48:22,190
the track and field coach
who, at one time,
857
00:48:22,274 --> 00:48:25,903
was working with BALCO and Victor Conte
but had a falling out.
858
00:48:25,986 --> 00:48:30,574
It was not at all simple for us
to figure out what it was.
859
00:48:31,158 --> 00:48:33,577
We put it through our instruments,
860
00:48:33,660 --> 00:48:36,830
and when you put a substance
into a mass spectrometer,
861
00:48:36,914 --> 00:48:38,582
you come up with a bunch of peaks,
862
00:48:38,665 --> 00:48:42,044
and it's a matter of trying
to identify those peaks,
863
00:48:42,127 --> 00:48:46,006
and that was ultimately the work
that took many months for us to do.
864
00:48:46,590 --> 00:48:49,217
[Novitzky] And they basically
reverse engineered it,
865
00:48:49,301 --> 00:48:52,095
and figured out what exactly
that they were looking at.
866
00:48:52,179 --> 00:48:54,973
So, unbeknownst to the athletes,
they had created a test for that
867
00:48:55,057 --> 00:48:58,185
when they thought they were using
a substance there was no test for yet.
868
00:48:58,268 --> 00:49:01,730
[tense music playing]
869
00:49:03,607 --> 00:49:07,736
[Conte] I knew for months and months
somebody's watching,
870
00:49:07,819 --> 00:49:12,824
and it started with the mailman saying,
871
00:49:12,908 --> 00:49:15,786
"Listen, there's law enforcement
of some kind
872
00:49:15,869 --> 00:49:17,871
that's copying all your mail every day."
873
00:49:17,955 --> 00:49:20,248
I need to start paying
attention a bit more,
874
00:49:20,332 --> 00:49:22,918
'cause it's... Big Brother's watching.
875
00:49:23,418 --> 00:49:26,421
[Novitzky] Near the tail end of that year,
where I was collecting trash,
876
00:49:26,505 --> 00:49:29,967
I had a dumpster that was well lit
that I was regularly going to,
877
00:49:30,050 --> 00:49:31,218
and they moved the dumpster.
878
00:49:32,302 --> 00:49:35,263
And so I located what I thought
was another secure one.
879
00:49:38,225 --> 00:49:40,625
[Conte] Started getting calls
from the owner of the building.
880
00:49:40,686 --> 00:49:44,815
And he said,
"Stop dumping your trash in our dumpster."
881
00:49:45,399 --> 00:49:47,401
I said, "Oh my God."
I went over there to see,
882
00:49:47,484 --> 00:49:50,529
and sure enough, our trash was
in his dumpster. I said, "Oh my God."
883
00:49:50,612 --> 00:49:54,241
They did it again. They did it again.
But the third time, this guy called,
884
00:49:54,324 --> 00:49:56,827
he said, "I'm calling the police, okay?"
885
00:49:58,662 --> 00:50:02,708
My dad called me and said, "Hey, have you
looked at the throwaway paper this week?"
886
00:50:02,791 --> 00:50:06,753
I'm like, "No, why?" He goes,
"Look at their police blotter section."
887
00:50:06,837 --> 00:50:11,508
Sure enough, there's a story about trash
from BALCO Laboratories illegally dumped.
888
00:50:11,591 --> 00:50:12,926
Scared me.
889
00:50:13,010 --> 00:50:16,096
You know, I came very close,
I think, to... to being caught.
890
00:50:16,179 --> 00:50:19,474
So, the combination
of the trash being discovered,
891
00:50:19,558 --> 00:50:21,351
the mail cover being disclosed,
892
00:50:21,435 --> 00:50:26,273
we thought it's about time now, I think,
that we needed to go overt in this case.
893
00:50:28,442 --> 00:50:30,360
[tense music sting]
894
00:50:30,444 --> 00:50:33,405
[Cheryl Hurd] So, on September 3rd, 2003,
895
00:50:34,364 --> 00:50:39,870
my assignment desk
received this weird call,
896
00:50:39,953 --> 00:50:44,750
"Go to this location." "But what time?"
"Well, we don't know what time."
897
00:50:45,333 --> 00:50:47,669
"Just be there and wait."
898
00:50:49,379 --> 00:50:51,798
We started seeing cars coming in.
899
00:50:51,882 --> 00:50:53,008
Looks like agents.
900
00:50:53,091 --> 00:50:54,259
What kind of agents?
901
00:50:54,342 --> 00:50:55,469
The IRS?
902
00:50:57,012 --> 00:51:01,266
We didn't know who they were after,
how long it was going to last.
903
00:51:01,349 --> 00:51:04,478
They're going into this building.
I don't know what BALCO is.
904
00:51:04,561 --> 00:51:05,561
We were on edge.
905
00:51:05,604 --> 00:51:08,273
We... We didn't know
if... if there would be gunfire.
906
00:51:08,857 --> 00:51:10,442
It was... It was very intense.
907
00:51:11,568 --> 00:51:15,197
And right through that driveway,
and in here and here and here
908
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:16,406
and around the corner,
909
00:51:16,490 --> 00:51:21,995
that's where six or seven black
cars came in full of SWAT team agents
910
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:24,456
wearing flak jackets with rifles
911
00:51:24,539 --> 00:51:28,668
and... and a helicopter came
and was hovering right there.
912
00:51:28,752 --> 00:51:31,254
[reporter] Federal agents raided
a Burlingame building
913
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,925
housing the Bay Area
Laboratory Co-operative, BALCO.
914
00:51:35,008 --> 00:51:38,845
All of a sudden, SWAT teams came in.
It was... It was like out of the movies.
915
00:51:38,929 --> 00:51:41,056
[Novitzky] There was
some controversy over,
916
00:51:41,139 --> 00:51:44,476
"Oh, they brought, you know,
20, 30 agents, they all had guns."
917
00:51:44,559 --> 00:51:47,938
Well, we... we carry guns.
That's what we did,
918
00:51:48,021 --> 00:51:50,649
and we brought these guns
to every search warrant we did.
919
00:51:50,732 --> 00:51:53,026
Everything I saw,
they were secured to their side.
920
00:51:53,110 --> 00:51:55,278
They weren't drawn
as we were making entry.
921
00:51:56,196 --> 00:52:01,493
I looked out the window
and here comes ABC, NBC, CBS.
922
00:52:01,993 --> 00:52:04,746
Next thing you know,
these satellites are coming up.
923
00:52:04,830 --> 00:52:08,667
So somebody from Novitzky's team
must have called the news desk.
924
00:52:08,750 --> 00:52:10,544
[producer] Can you say
who your sources were?
925
00:52:10,627 --> 00:52:13,922
Of course I can't say who my sources are.
926
00:52:14,881 --> 00:52:16,758
I did not tip them off, no.
927
00:52:16,842 --> 00:52:20,679
Their neighbors are seeing
who the customers are of this business.
928
00:52:20,762 --> 00:52:24,015
They're seeing Barry Bonds
walk into this business frequently.
929
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:27,144
People are going to start talking
and making some calls.
930
00:52:27,227 --> 00:52:30,689
[Hurd] A representative of BALCO
was escorted out of the building.
931
00:52:30,772 --> 00:52:32,691
[reporter] Victor Conte
is one of four people
932
00:52:32,774 --> 00:52:35,610
charged with distributing
the illegal substances.
933
00:52:35,694 --> 00:52:37,362
[Hurd] I'm looking and I'm saying,
934
00:52:38,238 --> 00:52:43,243
"Who is that guy with the ZMA hat on
kind of cocked to the side,
935
00:52:43,326 --> 00:52:45,078
sweating profusely?"
936
00:52:45,162 --> 00:52:46,621
He must be the bad guy.
937
00:52:46,705 --> 00:52:50,625
That's my job as a reporter.
Find out who the bad guy is.
938
00:52:50,709 --> 00:52:52,294
Federal officials wouldn't tell us
939
00:52:52,377 --> 00:52:55,505
what they found
inside BALCO Laboratories last week.
940
00:52:55,589 --> 00:52:59,134
No one has been charged,
and no arrests have been made.
941
00:52:59,217 --> 00:53:00,927
[reporter] But US Olympic officials
942
00:53:01,011 --> 00:53:03,555
believe BALCO
could be involved in a conspiracy
943
00:53:03,638 --> 00:53:06,808
to beat drug tests
by designing a new steroid.
944
00:53:07,684 --> 00:53:09,769
[Veronica] It felt very over the top.
945
00:53:10,770 --> 00:53:13,690
Like, "Is there more to this story
than I know?" You know?
946
00:53:13,773 --> 00:53:16,943
Like, why is this being amplified so much?
947
00:53:17,986 --> 00:53:20,739
[tense music playing]
948
00:53:20,822 --> 00:53:23,700
[Novitzky] When we were conducting
the search warrant at BALCO,
949
00:53:23,783 --> 00:53:28,121
we found bankers boxes
with athletes' names on the box...
950
00:53:28,205 --> 00:53:30,040
On these folders within that box,
951
00:53:30,123 --> 00:53:33,668
and then within those folders
were doping calendars,
952
00:53:33,752 --> 00:53:36,504
financial ledgers, uh, Quest, uh,
953
00:53:36,588 --> 00:53:39,966
urine steroid tests,
some of them positive, um,
954
00:53:40,050 --> 00:53:43,470
and then multiple boxes
full of these drugs.
955
00:53:44,054 --> 00:53:47,349
It was a virtual pharmacy, uh,
that we found in the storage locker.
956
00:53:48,391 --> 00:53:51,478
And based on the amount of evidence
that I had collected,
957
00:53:51,561 --> 00:53:53,271
I knew what questions to ask.
958
00:53:53,355 --> 00:53:56,233
I'm reading here
from the memorandum of interview
959
00:53:56,316 --> 00:53:59,486
written by Jeff Novitzky,
September 3rd, 2003.
960
00:54:00,195 --> 00:54:03,198
And he had a list that he had made.
961
00:54:03,281 --> 00:54:06,326
It said, "Track and Field,"
"NFL," and "MLB,"
962
00:54:06,826 --> 00:54:08,912
and he had these names on the list.
963
00:54:09,788 --> 00:54:12,707
[Novitzky] We went down that list,
and absolutely, he said,
964
00:54:12,791 --> 00:54:16,127
definitively, "I've given these athletes
The Clear and The Cream."
965
00:54:16,211 --> 00:54:20,048
[Conte] He said, "Did you work
with these players or these athletes?"
966
00:54:21,258 --> 00:54:25,220
And I thought he meant blood testing,
nutritional supplements,
967
00:54:25,303 --> 00:54:27,305
developing individualized program.
968
00:54:27,931 --> 00:54:30,850
No mention about giving
any drugs to any of them.
969
00:54:30,934 --> 00:54:33,270
Yeah, that's not the truth.
970
00:54:33,353 --> 00:54:37,524
I mean, I was very explicit about that.
Think about it, I go in there and say,
971
00:54:37,607 --> 00:54:39,943
"Have you worked with these athletes?"
And not ask,
972
00:54:40,026 --> 00:54:42,570
"What does that work entail?
Have you given them drugs?"
973
00:54:42,654 --> 00:54:44,322
That's the whole reason I was there.
974
00:54:44,406 --> 00:54:48,118
Never gave Barry Bonds
The Cream or The Clear.
975
00:54:48,201 --> 00:54:50,578
He can't give you one shred of evidence
976
00:54:50,662 --> 00:54:54,416
linking me to having anything to do
with giving Barry Bonds steroids.
977
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,626
And if he's got it, where is it?
978
00:54:58,545 --> 00:55:00,380
[Novitzky] Barry Bonds was consistently
979
00:55:00,463 --> 00:55:03,049
providing urine
and blood samples to BALCO.
980
00:55:03,133 --> 00:55:06,636
I have those records and they showed
he was testing positive for things like
981
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:10,181
methenolone,
high-level anabolic steroid, nandrolone,
982
00:55:10,682 --> 00:55:16,021
so there is no doubt he knowingly used
performance-enhancing drugs
983
00:55:16,104 --> 00:55:18,815
and used a lot of them
for a several-year period
984
00:55:18,898 --> 00:55:22,652
that assisted him in achieving
these... these hallowed records in sports,
985
00:55:22,736 --> 00:55:23,737
without a doubt.
986
00:55:24,738 --> 00:55:27,449
[unsettling music playing]
987
00:55:33,830 --> 00:55:35,710
[reporter] This evening,
you've heard it before.
988
00:55:35,749 --> 00:55:37,459
Athletes and steroids.
989
00:55:37,542 --> 00:55:41,713
Dozens of the biggest names in sports
will be taking time off from competition
990
00:55:41,796 --> 00:55:47,135
to tell a grand jury what they know about
the maker of a so-called designer steroid.
991
00:55:48,261 --> 00:55:50,638
[Novitzky] After the raid,
we subpoenaed several dozen
992
00:55:50,722 --> 00:55:54,601
of these high-profile athletes
to the grand jury in San Francisco
993
00:55:55,185 --> 00:55:58,646
and told 'em, "Tell the truth in there,
this may be the last you hear from us."
994
00:55:58,730 --> 00:56:01,358
"You're certainly not going to be
a target of this investigation
995
00:56:01,941 --> 00:56:03,943
if you go in and tell the truth."
996
00:56:06,196 --> 00:56:09,240
I get, uh, a... subpoena,
997
00:56:10,325 --> 00:56:13,745
and they're sitting down saying that
they have ledgers and everything
998
00:56:13,828 --> 00:56:15,205
on us working with Victor.
999
00:56:16,081 --> 00:56:18,500
So I talked about my involvement.
1000
00:56:18,583 --> 00:56:20,335
I was taking The Clear.
1001
00:56:20,418 --> 00:56:23,463
HGH, I did use.
1002
00:56:24,047 --> 00:56:26,383
And I told them grand jurors
1003
00:56:26,466 --> 00:56:29,010
that you don't know
what you was getting for Victor.
1004
00:56:29,094 --> 00:56:30,887
Victor was a con artist.
1005
00:56:31,888 --> 00:56:32,889
He's not a doctor.
1006
00:56:35,975 --> 00:56:38,603
[Novitzky] These powerful
hormonal substances
1007
00:56:38,686 --> 00:56:42,440
really hadn't undergone
any clinical trials or human testing.
1008
00:56:42,524 --> 00:56:45,276
So they were literally
using these athletes as guinea pigs.
1009
00:56:47,654 --> 00:56:50,740
[Montgomery] Victor can read about
what HGH does to the body,
1010
00:56:50,824 --> 00:56:52,909
he can read about what EPO does,
1011
00:56:52,992 --> 00:56:57,580
and then he can use you to see
if he got the formula right.
1012
00:56:58,540 --> 00:57:00,542
[Novitzky] Even found an email
from Patrick Arnold:
1013
00:57:00,625 --> 00:57:02,377
"Hey, here's what I've created,
1014
00:57:02,460 --> 00:57:06,840
but I don't quite know what the dosage is
so you have to experiment on that."
1015
00:57:07,424 --> 00:57:08,800
Some of the female athletes said,
1016
00:57:08,883 --> 00:57:11,803
they didn't get their menstrual cycles
for months if not years
1017
00:57:11,886 --> 00:57:13,346
while they were on this stuff.
1018
00:57:13,430 --> 00:57:16,391
Victor Conte is your doctor
and your pharmacist.
1019
00:57:16,474 --> 00:57:18,059
That's very, very dangerous.
1020
00:57:18,143 --> 00:57:23,481
Oh, my God. So I've been doing
comprehensive blood testing on everybody,
1021
00:57:23,565 --> 00:57:25,733
making sure
there were no adverse health effects
1022
00:57:25,817 --> 00:57:27,527
and all the dosages were correct.
1023
00:57:27,610 --> 00:57:29,154
So the opposite was true.
1024
00:57:30,155 --> 00:57:34,367
You become numb
to what's right and what's wrong.
1025
00:57:36,244 --> 00:57:37,745
At the end of the day,
1026
00:57:38,455 --> 00:57:40,373
I wanted something so bad...
1027
00:57:42,083 --> 00:57:45,211
at any price... possible.
1028
00:57:47,672 --> 00:57:50,008
[John Ashcroft]
After an 18-month investigation,
1029
00:57:50,091 --> 00:57:54,137
a federal grand jury
in the Northern District of California
1030
00:57:54,220 --> 00:57:59,726
unsealed a 42-count indictment
charging four individuals
1031
00:57:59,809 --> 00:58:06,107
with distribution of illegal
anabolic steroids to dozens of athletes.
1032
00:58:06,191 --> 00:58:09,319
[reporter] Today's indictment
charges Bonds' trainer, Greg Anderson,
1033
00:58:09,402 --> 00:58:12,655
and this man, Victor Conte,
with running the operation,
1034
00:58:12,739 --> 00:58:17,202
money laundering and using code names
for drugs to cover up the scheme.
1035
00:58:17,285 --> 00:58:19,871
Illegal steroid use calls into question
1036
00:58:19,954 --> 00:58:22,957
not only the integrity
of the athletes who used them,
1037
00:58:23,041 --> 00:58:27,045
but also the integrity
of the sports that those athletes play.
1038
00:58:27,128 --> 00:58:31,716
Well, I think it's rather odd
that, uh, Mr. Ashcroft got involved.
1039
00:58:31,799 --> 00:58:34,928
I don't want to say it's political,
but it is political.
1040
00:58:35,011 --> 00:58:38,681
The use of performance-enhancing drugs
like steroids
1041
00:58:38,765 --> 00:58:41,684
in baseball, football and other sports,
1042
00:58:41,768 --> 00:58:44,687
is dangerous
and it sends the wrong message.
1043
00:58:44,771 --> 00:58:47,023
So tonight I call on team owners,
1044
00:58:47,106 --> 00:58:49,484
coaches and players to take the lead,
1045
00:58:49,567 --> 00:58:53,363
to get tough
and to get rid of steroids now.
1046
00:58:53,446 --> 00:58:57,408
It's like, uh,
going after a fly with a bazooka
1047
00:58:57,492 --> 00:58:59,786
when there are thousands
of other flies running around.
1048
00:58:59,869 --> 00:59:02,580
It's not even going
to make a dent in the problem.
1049
00:59:02,664 --> 00:59:04,415
[tense music playing]
1050
00:59:07,168 --> 00:59:08,878
[reporter] If convicted on all counts,
1051
00:59:08,962 --> 00:59:12,840
the defendants face
long prison terms and hefty fines.
1052
00:59:14,175 --> 00:59:17,679
I knew that they didn't have the evidence
that they claimed that they had.
1053
00:59:17,762 --> 00:59:21,766
Why do you think on the day
of the 42-count indictment
1054
00:59:21,849 --> 00:59:25,603
that I walked out
into a sea of reporters and did this?
1055
00:59:25,687 --> 00:59:27,063
That meant this.
1056
00:59:35,572 --> 00:59:39,534
[Veronica] At that point, there were times
he was in the news every day.
1057
00:59:39,617 --> 00:59:41,619
So every time there were court hearings,
1058
00:59:41,703 --> 00:59:45,123
there was a ton of media
really villainizing him.
1059
00:59:45,790 --> 00:59:49,043
Um, forty-two counts,
it seemed like a lot.
1060
00:59:50,086 --> 00:59:54,924
You know, I remember him grabbing my hand
to guide me through the media
1061
00:59:55,008 --> 00:59:57,385
and all the cameras
and everyone shouting, and...
1062
00:59:57,468 --> 00:59:59,012
it's intimidating.
1063
00:59:59,846 --> 01:00:04,225
The whole investigation, in my opinion,
was all about chasing headlines.
1064
01:00:04,309 --> 01:00:08,354
Novitzky was bragging
to the undercover agents, you know,
1065
01:00:08,438 --> 01:00:11,399
saying, "I'm going to be
the modern-day Eliot Ness."
1066
01:00:11,482 --> 01:00:14,777
"I'm going to bust Al Capone.
Movie deals, book deals."
1067
01:00:14,861 --> 01:00:19,407
Yeah, I probably said that because,
going back to my training,
1068
01:00:19,490 --> 01:00:22,285
you, as an agent,
need to find those investigations
1069
01:00:22,368 --> 01:00:24,329
that are going to get the most coverage.
1070
01:00:24,412 --> 01:00:28,207
And hopefully, other people out there
that are breaking a similar law
1071
01:00:28,291 --> 01:00:32,420
are gonna say, "I don't want to get
caught up in this, so I'm gonna back out."
1072
01:00:34,422 --> 01:00:38,259
I believe that Jeff Novitzky
was feeding information to the Chronicle.
1073
01:00:38,343 --> 01:00:40,303
Nope. Not whatsoever.
1074
01:00:40,386 --> 01:00:42,722
I think it was
his narcissistic personality
1075
01:00:42,805 --> 01:00:46,934
that, you know, Victor was like,
"No publicity is bad publicity."
1076
01:00:47,018 --> 01:00:50,855
Um, you know, I remember
the night he went on 20/20.
1077
01:00:51,356 --> 01:00:54,901
He was indicted,
but the case hasn't been resolved yet,
1078
01:00:54,984 --> 01:00:58,112
and we got a call
from his defense attorneys saying,
1079
01:00:58,196 --> 01:01:02,158
"I don't know what our guy's doing.
He's going on 20/20 tonight."
1080
01:01:02,241 --> 01:01:05,745
"An entire hour is dedicated
to everything he's been doing."
1081
01:01:06,245 --> 01:01:11,209
I knew that this was the most coveted
of all, you know, records and gold medals.
1082
01:01:11,292 --> 01:01:17,256
Um, so we kind of had a collective dream
and I was the mastermind, so to speak.
1083
01:01:17,340 --> 01:01:20,760
[Martin Bashir] You're designing,
in effect, a criminal conspiracy
1084
01:01:20,843 --> 01:01:22,679
to break the world record.
1085
01:01:24,347 --> 01:01:26,057
That's what it was, wasn't it?
1086
01:01:27,350 --> 01:01:31,646
Well, if you're asking if it included
illegal activity, the answer would be yes.
1087
01:01:32,146 --> 01:01:32,980
And sure enough,
1088
01:01:33,064 --> 01:01:36,651
he disclosed all of his criminal activity
on national television.
1089
01:01:36,734 --> 01:01:38,194
Nobody does that.
1090
01:01:38,277 --> 01:01:42,657
Are you saying Marion Jones
was a drugs cheat?
1091
01:01:42,740 --> 01:01:43,825
Without a doubt.
1092
01:01:43,908 --> 01:01:47,036
And that you saw her even inject herself?
1093
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:48,413
You saw that happen?
1094
01:01:49,247 --> 01:01:50,289
That's correct.
1095
01:01:50,873 --> 01:01:54,377
Victor Conte is delusional. [chuckles]
1096
01:01:54,460 --> 01:01:59,215
To start taking out athletes
on the system he was part of.
1097
01:02:02,385 --> 01:02:06,806
[Bashir] Did you fear there was
a moral problem when you realized
1098
01:02:06,889 --> 01:02:10,560
that if you wanted to compete
you had to cheat?
1099
01:02:11,060 --> 01:02:12,061
The answer is no.
1100
01:02:12,145 --> 01:02:15,273
If you've got the knowledge that
that's what everybody's doing,
1101
01:02:15,356 --> 01:02:19,026
and those are the real rules of the game,
then you're not cheating.
1102
01:02:25,158 --> 01:02:27,785
[Conte] I... I was called
a lot of very bad names.
1103
01:02:27,869 --> 01:02:31,622
Dr. Frankenstein,
the Saddam Hussein of sports.
1104
01:02:32,248 --> 01:02:37,712
But one of the most important things
you learn is that you need adversity.
1105
01:02:38,254 --> 01:02:39,088
You know?
1106
01:02:39,172 --> 01:02:42,133
If you want to build big muscles
you got to lift big weights.
1107
01:02:44,343 --> 01:02:47,138
[Ed Swanson]
Victor was in a difficult spot
1108
01:02:47,221 --> 01:02:48,556
when we got into the case.
1109
01:02:48,639 --> 01:02:52,101
Uh, he had done the 20/20 interview,
1110
01:02:52,185 --> 01:02:55,146
the case was on the boil
1111
01:02:55,229 --> 01:02:58,357
and it wasn't headed in the direction
that he wanted it to go.
1112
01:02:58,441 --> 01:03:02,320
Victor's previous counsel
had already filed a number of motions
1113
01:03:02,403 --> 01:03:05,239
to suppress evidence,
to suppress statements,
1114
01:03:05,323 --> 01:03:09,076
dealing with the agents
in a very confrontational manner,
1115
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:12,246
and Victor had to make a big decision,
1116
01:03:12,330 --> 01:03:15,166
whether or not
to try and resolve the case,
1117
01:03:15,249 --> 01:03:18,211
or whether to be embroiled
in this battle for the next year.
1118
01:03:18,294 --> 01:03:21,798
And Victor made the decision
to have us negotiate the case.
1119
01:03:22,381 --> 01:03:28,054
We thought this case involved warehouses
of steroids and millions of dollars,
1120
01:03:28,137 --> 01:03:30,389
because that's the way
the story was being told.
1121
01:03:30,473 --> 01:03:33,976
Once we started to look at it,
everything began to shrink
1122
01:03:34,060 --> 01:03:38,689
and the millions became hundreds
and the warehouse became a locker,
1123
01:03:38,773 --> 01:03:41,943
and the amount of drugs became something
you could fit in your hand.
1124
01:03:42,026 --> 01:03:46,864
Our technical term for the amount of drugs
in this case was "teensy."
1125
01:03:48,282 --> 01:03:51,327
Week after week,
we would sit down with the prosecutors
1126
01:03:51,410 --> 01:03:53,412
and would take another piece of the case,
1127
01:03:53,496 --> 01:03:57,875
and we would say, "You've charged this,
it's not illegal and here's why."
1128
01:03:57,959 --> 01:04:01,003
To their credit, they listened to us
and they pushed back,
1129
01:04:01,087 --> 01:04:03,422
and it was so much fun.
1130
01:04:03,506 --> 01:04:05,716
There's no question what he had done.
1131
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,344
He had provided athletes
with the substance.
1132
01:04:08,427 --> 01:04:10,263
The question was, was that illegal?
1133
01:04:11,138 --> 01:04:13,015
The Clear was not illegal,
1134
01:04:13,099 --> 01:04:15,852
and our position was
even The Cream was not illegal.
1135
01:04:15,935 --> 01:04:19,230
[McNamara] Which was a diluted
amount of steroid testosterone
1136
01:04:19,313 --> 01:04:21,357
in a lotion to be applied on the skin.
1137
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,693
And the law didn't apply to mixtures.
1138
01:04:24,861 --> 01:04:28,656
[McNamara] The amount of money
that Victor was transacting
1139
01:04:28,739 --> 01:04:30,950
amounted to less than a thousand dollars,
1140
01:04:31,033 --> 01:04:36,455
which is so below the power of what
federal prosecutions generally prosecute.
1141
01:04:36,539 --> 01:04:39,250
[Swanson] It was as thin as it gets.
1142
01:04:39,333 --> 01:04:42,503
There's never another case we've seen
where someone was charged
1143
01:04:42,587 --> 01:04:46,257
with drug distribution of an amount
that doesn't even register
1144
01:04:46,340 --> 01:04:47,842
in the sentencing guidelines,
1145
01:04:48,426 --> 01:04:50,261
but that was their case.
1146
01:04:50,887 --> 01:04:52,597
[reporter] Anything to say today, Victor?
1147
01:04:54,140 --> 01:04:55,308
Uh, afterwards.
1148
01:04:55,391 --> 01:04:57,602
[camera shutter clicking]
1149
01:04:57,685 --> 01:04:59,228
[Conte] I will never forget the day
1150
01:04:59,312 --> 01:05:02,690
that I picked up the front page
of the San Francisco Chronicle,
1151
01:05:02,773 --> 01:05:04,775
and the headline said,
1152
01:05:05,359 --> 01:05:08,738
"40 of 42 BALCO charges dropped."
1153
01:05:08,821 --> 01:05:12,408
And the subtitle was,
"The wrist slap heard around the world."
1154
01:05:12,491 --> 01:05:15,091
- [reporters clamoring]
- [reporter] Mr. Conte, care to comment...
1155
01:05:15,161 --> 01:05:18,915
[Hurd] Victor Conte pleaded guilty
to two felony counts today.
1156
01:05:18,998 --> 01:05:23,085
One, conspiracy to distribute steroids,
the other, money laundering.
1157
01:05:23,169 --> 01:05:25,296
The Feds should be embarrassed.
1158
01:05:25,379 --> 01:05:27,506
It started with 42 counts,
1159
01:05:27,590 --> 01:05:30,635
Victor Conte will now plead guilty
to only two counts.
1160
01:05:30,718 --> 01:05:34,639
And we quote, "This deal
does not require Mr. Conte to assist
1161
01:05:34,722 --> 01:05:39,310
the prosecution of any other person
involved in the investigation."
1162
01:05:39,393 --> 01:05:42,154
- [woman] So the athletes walk.
- [man] There'll be no federal charges
1163
01:05:42,229 --> 01:05:44,941
and no criminal charges
against any athlete.
1164
01:05:45,441 --> 01:05:48,277
Victor Conte was sentenced
to six months in federal prison.
1165
01:05:48,361 --> 01:05:49,737
Typically, in federal prison,
1166
01:05:49,820 --> 01:05:52,448
with good behavior,
you do 85% of that time.
1167
01:05:52,531 --> 01:05:54,367
So he did a little over four months.
1168
01:05:57,787 --> 01:06:03,292
Here's some pictures that my dad sent me
from the, um, prison camp.
1169
01:06:03,376 --> 01:06:05,920
This is him and his cellmate.
His name was Evil.
1170
01:06:06,003 --> 01:06:10,049
He was a scare to my dad at first,
let me tell you, as you can imagine why.
1171
01:06:10,132 --> 01:06:11,926
Like, oh, I'm dead meat in this cell...
1172
01:06:12,009 --> 01:06:14,720
[laughs] You know, when he first met him,
but he had his back,
1173
01:06:14,804 --> 01:06:16,722
and they became good friends.
1174
01:06:16,806 --> 01:06:18,516
They're still friends to this day.
1175
01:06:19,100 --> 01:06:23,020
I was happy to see
that he was making friends and really...
1176
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:27,400
You know, it was humbling.
Humbling experience for him, so...
1177
01:06:29,068 --> 01:06:31,362
[Conte] I took full responsibility,
1178
01:06:31,445 --> 01:06:34,323
did not cooperate
in any way, shape or form.
1179
01:06:34,407 --> 01:06:35,700
I did some wrongdoing,
1180
01:06:35,783 --> 01:06:38,411
I deserved to go
to prison camp just like I did.
1181
01:06:38,494 --> 01:06:40,037
I went and I served my time.
1182
01:06:42,748 --> 01:06:46,669
And, of course,
when I went through the... the front door,
1183
01:06:46,752 --> 01:06:48,838
they immediately grabbed me
1184
01:06:48,921 --> 01:06:51,549
and they put me through
the metal detector,
1185
01:06:51,632 --> 01:06:53,884
and it was, "Toes and nose
against the wall."
1186
01:06:53,968 --> 01:06:58,639
And here I am being handcuffed,
and I realized, "I belong to them now."
1187
01:07:00,725 --> 01:07:03,894
And I had mailed myself some magazines,
1188
01:07:03,978 --> 01:07:07,356
and I timed it so that it would get there
when I got there.
1189
01:07:10,693 --> 01:07:13,029
When they brought the mail that day,
1190
01:07:13,112 --> 01:07:17,408
they put my mail
through the food slot in the door.
1191
01:07:18,367 --> 01:07:21,370
In addition to the magazines
I'd sent myself
1192
01:07:22,455 --> 01:07:24,623
was this letter from my youngest daughter.
1193
01:07:24,707 --> 01:07:25,875
Where do you live at?
1194
01:07:25,958 --> 01:07:28,085
I live at my house.
1195
01:07:28,169 --> 01:07:30,337
[Conte] What's... Where's your house?
In what city?
1196
01:07:30,421 --> 01:07:33,632
[voice breaking] And there were pictures
of my kids, and, uh...
1197
01:07:33,716 --> 01:07:35,926
[emotional music playing]
1198
01:07:36,010 --> 01:07:38,054
Yeah, that's kind of when it all hit me.
1199
01:07:38,929 --> 01:07:40,139
[sniffles]
1200
01:07:40,222 --> 01:07:43,684
[voice breaks] I realized that
I'd completely lost control of my life.
1201
01:07:44,268 --> 01:07:45,603
I hadn't really
1202
01:07:46,771 --> 01:07:49,440
reflected upon, you know...
1203
01:07:52,068 --> 01:07:54,904
how serious the consequences were.
1204
01:07:54,987 --> 01:07:58,699
But I thought that,
"I'm a big boy, I'm a man."
1205
01:07:58,783 --> 01:08:01,619
"Whatever happens,
I'll be able to deal with it."
1206
01:08:02,578 --> 01:08:04,622
I was... Had been a horrible father.
1207
01:08:04,705 --> 01:08:08,167
I took... I took their sense of security
away from them.
1208
01:08:09,293 --> 01:08:11,253
And created a lot of uncertainty.
1209
01:08:12,254 --> 01:08:14,799
[Veronica] I think
success is addictive, uh,
1210
01:08:14,882 --> 01:08:17,635
praise and credit is addictive,
1211
01:08:17,718 --> 01:08:20,596
but I don't defend what my dad did.
1212
01:08:21,097 --> 01:08:24,517
I think it's clear
that he crossed some ethical lines.
1213
01:08:25,351 --> 01:08:26,644
And I wish he didn't.
1214
01:08:27,645 --> 01:08:29,814
[voice breaking] But I didn't realize
1215
01:08:30,648 --> 01:08:34,652
that this was the same effect
on all the athletes' families.
1216
01:08:36,028 --> 01:08:38,739
That they had to deal with their kids
coming home saying,
1217
01:08:38,823 --> 01:08:42,159
"Dad, at school
they're saying you used steroids."
1218
01:08:42,243 --> 01:08:43,744
"Did you use steroids?"
1219
01:08:45,121 --> 01:08:48,707
And kids don't understand,
you know, so it's, uh...
1220
01:08:48,791 --> 01:08:50,376
[trembling]
1221
01:08:52,628 --> 01:08:54,672
[Montgomery] Three of my kids
run track and field.
1222
01:08:55,548 --> 01:08:58,050
The second-oldest boy
has been training with me.
1223
01:08:59,051 --> 01:09:01,220
He's like,
"Dad, what steroids do for you?"
1224
01:09:02,054 --> 01:09:03,931
And I said, "Ruin your whole life."
1225
01:09:04,849 --> 01:09:06,267
Runners, take your mark.
1226
01:09:08,102 --> 01:09:09,311
Set.
1227
01:09:09,395 --> 01:09:14,650
I told him, "If you cross the finish line
and you were first and tested positive,
1228
01:09:14,733 --> 01:09:15,985
what did you gain?"
1229
01:09:22,575 --> 01:09:25,202
When you leave,
you wanna know that you did it right.
1230
01:09:29,623 --> 01:09:31,584
Sometimes you can over try.
1231
01:09:33,002 --> 01:09:35,713
You got to always feel like
you don't have a second chance.
1232
01:09:37,214 --> 01:09:38,757
Everything I did in the past,
1233
01:09:39,717 --> 01:09:41,177
all the wrongs I did,
1234
01:09:41,260 --> 01:09:43,804
well, my son said,
"Dad, I care nothing about that."
1235
01:09:44,847 --> 01:09:46,390
"I believe in you right now."
1236
01:09:48,684 --> 01:09:50,644
And so, as I think about it...
1237
01:09:52,938 --> 01:09:55,983
Victor Conte believed
in Project World Record the same way.
1238
01:09:57,276 --> 01:09:59,862
He believed in the dream.
1239
01:10:01,655 --> 01:10:04,700
I guess in some respects,
did we create a monster?
1240
01:10:04,783 --> 01:10:09,246
Uh, maybe a little, but, I mean, I think
most people who hear and see Victor Conte
1241
01:10:09,330 --> 01:10:11,582
realize him for who he is,
1242
01:10:11,665 --> 01:10:15,836
and that's, you know,
a used car, snake oil salesman guy,
1243
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:16,920
bullshit artist.
1244
01:10:17,546 --> 01:10:19,673
I'd like to dedicate my life
1245
01:10:19,757 --> 01:10:23,928
to helping to create a level playing field
for the young athletes of the future.
1246
01:10:24,511 --> 01:10:30,476
I'm, by far, most proud of my contribution
to the anti-doping movement,
1247
01:10:30,559 --> 01:10:33,479
and went and met with WADA,
the World Anti Doping Agency.
1248
01:10:33,562 --> 01:10:39,610
I reveal specifically how these athletes
are circumventing the anti-doping policies
1249
01:10:39,693 --> 01:10:41,320
and procedures in place.
1250
01:10:41,403 --> 01:10:44,865
What they're doing now is they're using
duck and dodge techniques.
1251
01:10:44,949 --> 01:10:47,534
Just take it like this
and put it under the tongue.
1252
01:10:47,618 --> 01:10:49,286
I think there's abuse going on.
1253
01:10:49,370 --> 01:10:51,747
I think there needs to be
a further investigation.
1254
01:10:51,830 --> 01:10:55,292
- But how many guys are using it?
- My guess is about 50%.
1255
01:10:55,376 --> 01:10:57,628
[Rogan] Fifty of MMA athletes,
or professional athletes?
1256
01:10:57,711 --> 01:10:58,545
Yes, of MMA.
1257
01:10:58,629 --> 01:11:01,173
Now because you can't make
a living cheating anymore,
1258
01:11:01,257 --> 01:11:05,177
you want to flip the other side
and call people out, pointing fingers?
1259
01:11:05,261 --> 01:11:07,721
I can't believe anybody
even listens to this guy,
1260
01:11:07,805 --> 01:11:09,556
anybody even quotes this guy.
1261
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:12,935
Victor Conte is a two-faced piece of shit.
1262
01:11:13,018 --> 01:11:18,482
So Victor administrated the drugs,
then he gave the drug people the system
1263
01:11:18,565 --> 01:11:22,736
on how to catch you now
so that he can do something different.
1264
01:11:24,071 --> 01:11:27,032
And that's something
you can never take from a hustler,
1265
01:11:27,116 --> 01:11:28,325
the hustle.
1266
01:11:29,326 --> 01:11:32,663
[Conte] It just so happens
that the red-light district of sport,
1267
01:11:32,746 --> 01:11:35,249
which is boxing,
I was able to find a home there.
1268
01:11:35,332 --> 01:11:36,332
[grunts]
1269
01:11:36,709 --> 01:11:38,210
- [bell rings]
- [grunts]
1270
01:11:38,294 --> 01:11:41,005
With Victor,
people will come to me and say,
1271
01:11:41,088 --> 01:11:45,551
"He's a cheater and he's going to try to
give you drugs or he is giving you drugs,"
1272
01:11:45,634 --> 01:11:48,679
and stuff like that,
but I never really paid attention to it.
1273
01:11:48,762 --> 01:11:51,348
Yeah, I would say that
it is performance-enhancing,
1274
01:11:51,432 --> 01:11:53,100
just without the drugs.
1275
01:11:53,183 --> 01:11:55,644
[chuckling] Victor's definitely
the mad scientist.
1276
01:11:56,228 --> 01:11:57,521
You're a beast.
1277
01:11:58,105 --> 01:12:00,357
When you're doing high oxygen here,
1278
01:12:00,983 --> 01:12:04,236
it increases
the production of lactic acid,
1279
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:09,533
that, in turn, triggers the production
of testosterone and growth hormone.
1280
01:12:09,616 --> 01:12:13,078
Your speed and your power are 10% greater.
1281
01:12:13,579 --> 01:12:16,790
There's a lot of things that work
that are legal.
1282
01:12:17,374 --> 01:12:21,170
[commentator] Wanted to see another gear
from Devin, he's showing us another gear.
1283
01:12:21,253 --> 01:12:24,006
Devin Haney is 30 and O.
1284
01:12:24,089 --> 01:12:25,924
He defends the undisputed...
1285
01:12:26,008 --> 01:12:29,803
[Novitzky] He'll take any publicity
as long as his name is in the lights,
1286
01:12:30,304 --> 01:12:33,098
so I don't think
you can believe a word that guy says.
1287
01:12:33,599 --> 01:12:35,476
[riveting music playing]
1288
01:12:35,559 --> 01:12:41,357
The BALCO investigation changed
the country's perspective
1289
01:12:41,440 --> 01:12:45,361
and the perspective
of the leagues towards drugs.
1290
01:12:45,861 --> 01:12:48,572
This record is not tainted at all.
1291
01:12:49,156 --> 01:12:50,156
At all.
1292
01:12:51,116 --> 01:12:55,371
[Schmidt] And it set off
consequential developments
1293
01:12:55,454 --> 01:12:59,666
that create
the drug-testing systems today.
1294
01:13:00,626 --> 01:13:04,088
[Veronica] I think the masses
remember Victor Conte
1295
01:13:04,171 --> 01:13:07,883
as the guy who single-handedly
brought down the world of sport.
1296
01:13:08,467 --> 01:13:09,927
I hope that changes.
1297
01:13:10,010 --> 01:13:12,054
[Hurd] Victor makes things work for him.
1298
01:13:12,137 --> 01:13:15,933
I think that that has a lot to do with him
controlling his own narrative.
1299
01:13:16,016 --> 01:13:19,770
I mean, it's the American way.
Isn't he still driving a Bentley?
1300
01:13:20,354 --> 01:13:23,857
[Conte] I realized there's no such thing
as bad publicity.
1301
01:13:23,941 --> 01:13:27,611
Like, Google Ads,
whatever the keywords that you put in,
1302
01:13:27,694 --> 01:13:30,239
if you put in "Barry Bonds"
or "Marion Jones"
1303
01:13:30,322 --> 01:13:32,282
or "BALCO" or whatever it is,
1304
01:13:32,866 --> 01:13:35,744
right next to it's an ad for ZMA, right?
1305
01:13:36,245 --> 01:13:39,665
So, in essence,
I was turning the lemon into lemonade.
1306
01:13:40,249 --> 01:13:42,209
Should I send the Feds a thank-you card?
1307
01:13:42,292 --> 01:13:44,837
They might have made me
millions of dollars.

[commentator] 9.78 seconds.
A world record for Tim Montgomery.
1325
01:15:00,996 --> 01:15:02,581
[indistinct chatter]
1326
01:15:02,664 --> 01:15:05,584
[Montgomery] Did I deserve
to get taken away? Yes, I did.
1327
01:15:05,667 --> 01:15:09,421
But the experience I'll always live with,
1328
01:15:09,922 --> 01:15:11,882
and that's what they can't take back.
1329
01:15:13,008 --> 01:15:17,221
That moment of doing this...
they can never take it back.

That's the original sign

that was up behind the spectrometer
and the laboratory of BALCO for 20 years.
1333
01:15:38,158 --> 01:15:40,452
Probably worth at least a buck or two
I would think.
1334
01:15:40,536 --> 01:15:42,430
- [producer] You're gonna sell it?
- I don't know.
1335
01:15:42,454 --> 01:15:45,457
No, we'll probably just give it
to the baseball hall of fame.
