GAME OF SHADOWS: STEROIDS IN PROFESSIONAL SPORTS

In December 2004, after more than a year of investigation, two San Francisco Chronicle reporters, Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada, broke the story of BALCO. The Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative was a nutritional supplement company that, according to sworn testimony, was supplying banned drugs to elite athletes. The exposes led to Congressional hearings on baseball’s drug problems. Larry talks with Williams, co-author of Game of Shadows; Barry Bonds, BALCO, and the Steroids Scandal that Rocked Professional Sports about the investigation he and Fainaru-Wada undertook and what they discovered.
