Victor Conte is a sports coach who designed doping programs with world-class athletes. Through his platform, the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative, or BALCO, he supplied an untraceable designer steroid among other drugs to competitors who dominated the Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004 Olympics.
Conte used a transparent anabolic steroid nicknamed “the clear” in training programs with track athletes such as Marion Jones, and Tim Montgomery. He also developed doping programs for athletes in Major League Baseball, the National Football League, and other sports federations.
Conte served four months in prison for illegal distribution of steroids and money laundering. He later rebuilt his career as a sports promoter and anti-doping advocate in boxing, and he’s since worked with Nonito Donaire, Andre Ward, Andre Berto, and Devin Haney.
Conte talks about the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Enhanced Games, and the future of doping in sports.
