SAN FRANCISCO: The owner of the now defunct BALCO laboratory met with the head of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) on Wednesday but said he did not name athletes linked with steroids. Victor Conte is the self-taught mastermind behind the San Francisco area BALCO lab at the centre of a global sports steroid scandal that has tarnished top athletes including baseball home run king Barry Bonds and sprinter Marion Jones. “It was inaccurately reported before the meeting that I would be naming names, but that was never my intention nor is that what occurred today,” Conte told Reuters in an e-mail after the meeting. “Without naming the athletes, I did provide specific information regarding how athletes involved with doping around the world are so easily able to circumvent the anti-doping procedures in place.” Since serving prison time on steroid distribution charges, Conte has said he would like to help stem the use of illegal performance-enhancing drugs.
