How in heavens name did Victor Conte come to be given so much credit as to where his opinion is of importance with regards to everything as to how to fight drugs and how to have a forgiving nature?
The man is a charlatan and is one of the major reasons for the problems in our sport.
In the image attached is the 'infamous' ZMA that so many of the athletes have sung their praises about, from Marion Jones through to Linford Christie.
The common criminal Conte sold millions of dollars worth of his products with those buying the products believing the likes of Jones and Christie to have achieved their magnificent results due to the wonders of the products.
In the past this is what Jones had to say about ZMA - "I had a number of tests done on my blood at BALCO Laboratories," says Jones. "I learned that I was really deficient in both zinc and magnesium." ZMA fixed that, and she credits the supplement with helping her to sleep better and making her morning workouts more effective. "ZMA really has helped me," she says.
Yet we all see that things are certainly different and one wonders whether BALCO even wrote the athlete's script to sing the praises of the product while fleecing the general public.
How Conte portrays himself as the redeeming 'messiah of athletics' is plain blasphemous (for better words) to say the least. This is truly one false profit and yet he has the gall to preach to athletic authorities and everyone (who will listen) about forgiveness and the like.
Oh my gosh, how does this worthless specimen get given the airtime, he denied and lied about everything, he did not come clean until he was squeezed into a corner. He has only given the prosecutors sufficient info to get himself out of the pooh.
There was earlier mention of how he could help the system to fight against the drug problems, I am all for it as long as he doesn't receive a cent for assisting, especially after bringing our sport into disrepute.
Not only has he duped athletics but he has duped baseball and a list of other sports.
He owes us all something for we have all been duped by the very sports stars he helped to cheat.
What forgiveness, how about some true repentness from this deceitful man?
