From the Publisher:
Victor Conte, founder of BALCO (Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative) and the centerpiece of the New York Times bestseller Game of Shadows, finally tells his side of the "BALCO Affair," the steroids-in-sports scandal that has shocked and captured the attention of the entire world. Because of his first-hand involvement, Conte can tell it all exactly as it went down, from the illegalities of the original BALCO raid to the truth regarding the involvement of Marion Jones, Barry Bonds, Shane Mosley, and the other elite athletes implicated in the scandal. This is a one-of-a-kind book that cannot be recreated or mimicked. No one has the complete inside knowledge of BALCO that Victor Conte does, and no one else dares to reveal the truth about the steroids-in-sports investigations, the charges, the behind-the-scenes negotiations, the sentencings, and the dark side of the sports world.
