FUNK THIS DUMB STUFF
San Francisco, CA– Having met the now infamous Victor Conte of BALCO Labs some 30+ years ago, one could have never envisioned the then Tower Of Power bass player could one day become the mad scientist of (sports) performance enhancement drugs. It was Conte’s concoctions, the Clear & the Crème, these were the steroids that got track’s Marion Jones stripped of her Olympic Gold medals.
NEVER GOT APOLOGY FROM SHANE OR WILT
These were the same items I accused Shane Mosley of using for his 2003 rematch with Oscar De La Hoya. After Shane and his attorney called me a liar and threatened to make my life hell in court with the seven foot Judd Burstein threatening multiple lawsuits. Sticking to my guns, Shane would admit such after Sports Illustrated ran the same story I had went with years earlier.
BOXING SHOULD GET OUT IN FRONT OF STORY
All of this talk of performance enhancing drugs, PEOs, Steroids, Blood Doping, comes at a good time for boxing. For if boxing were to lead the way with state of the art drug testing during training, it could get out in front of this story as it is the only boxing story people, especially mainstream media, are hearing and or talking about.
VERBIAGE OF THE GREAT JIMMY CANNON
But seeing boxing is the “red light district of sports,” according to the late Jimmy Cannon, writer extraordinaire, the whore that boxing is wouldn’t help herself get clean because, well she’s a whore!
ENTER VICTOR CONTE STAGE LEFT
Victor Conte Second From Left
Conte, whom I am trying to get to appear this coming Sunday on “Ring Talk Worldwide,” the longest running fight show in history, reminds me of the computer hackers that were eventually hired by the companies they had hacked into.
VICTOR IS EVEN WILLING
Conte, who has indicated he would love to be the Steroid Czar, needs to be looked at in the same vein as the former computer hackers, as an asset. His potions got by the US Anti Doping agency for the 2000 Olympic games. In closing, it is q quite possible that Victor is the only guy, convicted felon or not, at making things right in sports in general, not just boxing. To not recognize such would be an indication all eight cylinders are not firing.
