Noose tightening for Bonds?
Victor Conte, the founder of Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, which is at the center of a steroid scandal involving Major Leage Baseball star Barry Bonds and other top athletes, has agreed to plead guilty today to steroid distribution and money laundering under a plea bargain with federal prosecutors. Here is a previous post on the legal problems that Mr. Bonds is facing in connection with that investigation.
Mr. Conte is one of four men -- including Mr. Bonds weight trainer, Greg Anderson -- who were charged last year with dozens of counts in connection with providing distributing illegal drugs to more than 30 professional baseball, football and track and field athletes. Some of the biggest names in professional sports -- including Mr. Bonds, New York Yankees slugger Jason Giambi and track star Marion Jones -- have been under suspicion based on Balco grand-jury transcripts that were leaked to the San Francisco Chronicle.

If a doctor prescribes pain meds, he's a Doctor Feelgood.
Does a doctor who prescribe steroids get labeled a Doctor Feelstrong?
