BALCO founder Victor Conte on Tuesday said former world champion boxer Shane Mosley knew “exactly and precisely what he was doing” when he engaged in a doping program before his 2003 victory over Oscar De La Hoya.
Mosley last week sued Conte for slander and libel after Conte said he was planning a new book that would “set the record straight” on Mosley’s knowledge about using the designer steroids known as “the clear” and “the cream,” and the blood-doping drug EPO.
Mosley maintains in the lawsuit that Conte told him “all of the products recommended . . . were entirely legal and appropriate.”
But Conte said Tuesday that Mosley knew he was being given steroids.
The article goes on to mention another famous athlete who denied knowingly taking steroids and fell afoul of the feds for doing so. Quick, guess who. (Hint: the athlete’s last name is five letters long, the second letter is “o,” the third letter is “n” and the fifth letter is “s”).

And if Conte's got a book coming out, it would be surprising (to me at least) that he'd sell it on the basis of telling the truth about Mosley if the book also contains truth about Bonds.
I only say what other people think.
Hey stop that! Cybernanny will never let that through!
Maybe he has learned from Canseco's travails and is saving the good stuff for the sequels.
I know he's not a baseball player, but I hate to think that a little technicality like that would stop Bud.
Man, it's been a rough couple of weeks for him. First it's revealed he took part in a Nazi orgy, now this. I hope and pray that one day, when some sick demented freak googles "Nazi orgy", he'll land on BBTF.
Welcome, sick demented freaks!
great stuff!
I think it had more to do with the Nazi uniforms they wore.
Ugh!
I tend to think it was more the part where he was speaking to the women in German-accented English and is the son of the founder of the British Union of Fascists. But other than that, yeah, what a reach!
Hmm... that whole thing has a SALON KITTY vibe.
The comments section has something about women wearing black latex, other than that no mention of uniforms.
anybody have a link to the video?
I do think it is a reach to call this a nazi orgy, simply because Hitler attended his dads wedding.
Yes, this Victor Conte who tells us that Shane Mosley is lying through his teeth and knew exactly what he was taking: it's the one and very same Victor Conte who tells us with a straight face that Barry Bonds didn't take anything illegal, and well, even if he actually did, sweet innocent little Barry had absolutely no idea whatsoever what it was he was ingesting.
I tell you, they can't make up guys like this character in Hollywood.
I don't mind if Tonks took steroids. Those were desperate times, and Voldemort had to be stopped!
