Guess what? Chambers has just issued a statement in which he says he was told by his coach to use BALCO as a source of nutrition and knew nothing about anything.... anything at all.
I think we should let him off because that excuse has never, ever been used before!
What if (and this is a big what if) Conte developed this new steriod, but only marketed it to high profile athletes as a new high performance supplement without revealing its true identity? What a better way to attract high profile clientele than to offer a new wonder supplement that is completely "legal". If someone points you to a nutritionist who puts you on a new supplement regimen that significantly imporoves performance and you test clean all the time, why would you think anything is wrong? Creatine was the new wonder supplment a few years ago, what would make one think this any different(other than it was found to be an illegal substance :) )?
Not that i'm saying this is the case, but it just got me wondering how so many high profile athletes could get caught up in something illegal that they all could potentially get caught doing.
Just food for thought.....
