REAL SPORTS WITH BRYANT GUMBEL presents more enterprising features and reporting when its 167th edition, available in HDTV, debuts TUESDAY, FEB. 15 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.
Segments include:
*Victor Conte. When the BALCO steroids scandal rocked the sports world in 2003, many people blamed Victor Conte, who would eventually be convicted of dealing performance-enhancing drugs, for ruining the treasured record book of America’s national pastime.
After the FBI raided his lab and shut him down, Olympic records were erased and careers destroyed. Now, nearly five years removed from his prison sentence, the architect of the BALCO scandal is a free man and back doing what made him famous: training big-time professional athletes.
This time, Conte says he is committed to doing things the right way and helping a new wave of top-tier athletes compete drug-free. REAL SPORTS correspondent Bernard Goldberg goes one-on-one with the symbol of the BALCO scandal to find out what he’s learned.
