Better than the Mitchell Report?

BALCO founder Victor Conte has a tell-all book not just about BALCO but about performance-enhancing drugs in sports in general. He says he has non-image cleansing reasons for the book:
“It was not long ago when Bug Selig was claiming that baseball didn't have a drug problem,” Conte said, according to the newspaper. “The world certainly knows now that there has been a rampant use of drugs in sport for decades. The anti-doping programs in place are still inept and this contributes to the use or lose mentality of many athletes. I will continue bring attention to the many loopholes that exist in the testing programs. Hopefully, one day athletes will be able to be clean and play on a level playing field at the same time. I see that I have the potential to make change — I can do that.”

We’ll see just how much it does that, rather than just being a dirt-disher for money. And, speaking of that, maybe we’ll find out if Jose Canseco was right about A-Rod.
