Victor Conte - From BALCO to SNAC

Polish said:
Being an "anti-doping crusader" is paying off big time for Victor.

What do you guys think of his new company SNAC*?
(*Scientific Nutrition for Advanced Conditioning)

Paid his dues. Time for a second chance?

Now I am sometimes for guys getting a second chance - but Conte is lower than a snake's belly. Many people say that Floyd and people similar to him are out to make money, but Conte is the biggest media wh%% one can imagine. Even his counsel couldn't keep him to shut up, even when it was hurting the case.

Victor Conte really came around since his court duty and subsequent prison stay. I like his transparency on the US Olympic commitee and the fallacy among the drug testing agencies, boxing and the Feds.
I like his credibility. He could be of great service to American cycling.

What would make Conte lower than the vets who supplied Muesew, the doctors who gave massive amounts of EPO to Pantani, or the affiliates of Riccos' family.

Watch Contes videos, he is really telling it like it is, you wanted an end of Omerta, Victor Conte is it in in all his glory.

If he makes another 10 million embarassing the sporting agencies I don't call him a snake, I call him what' LeMond would call Our Dream'

Him telling the truth about what goes on I'm all for. But it depends on his audience with Victor. His comments on Jeff are lies. Also, I'm not talking about the people you mentioned above, so they have nothing to do with what I said.
Victor isn't qualified - so he is essentially only bringing doping to the table when he goes into 'supplements.'

Watch Contes videos. He tells exactly how he conducted his business. We all want doping to stop, Victor is transparent. The people here in the Clinic wanted transparancy Victor is an Omerta breaker. Honor him, we like our credibility.
Novitzky owes Victor Conte big time, LeMond, Walsh, Kimmage the people in the clinic. Yes I like Victor Contes credibility. Study his words and actions.

Those Conte videos are good and he didn't seem to pull any punches with respect to what he did and with what the atheletes knew. That said, if I were a professional or up-and-comer I wouldn't want anything to do with the guy. His stink is as bad or worse than Ferrari and Fuentes.

I know exactly what Conte is about. I was watching pro cycling before GL rode a bike, in those days guys like him were refered to as sogniuers.(sorry about the spelling) How much medical training did Victor get as a musician for 'Tower of Power'

Takes a lot, both mental and physical, to play a Pro Concert.
Check out Victor on Bass:

I wonder if Jeff or his Dad appreciate the Oakland funk. White guys with 'Fros' are really super 70s, also Don Kirschner.

Victor Conte is an amazing bass player. You need to be meticulous to get that good.. that is why I would trust him to deal with my sports nutrition if I needed it to be perfect.

SNAC? I think Conte has it confused with CRACK because his homepage features an endorsement by Barry Bonds. LMAO!

Click on the Athletes link:
Barry Bonds
Marion Jones
Dwain Chambers...among many others. :rolleyes:

Who's going to be the first athlete to fail a test due to ingesting unknown ingredients from this snake oil?

"There will always be doubters," he said. "But the basis of Christianity is forgiveness and there are a lot of people associated with sports who have forgotten that. There are a lot of haters who don't believe enough is enough."
He might include the IRS in that group. Since emerging from prison, Conte and his company have been audited repeatedly.
"I guarantee you," Conte said with a smile, "that we're clean."

That's good enough for me then.

Greg Anderson, manned up today, not like those stinking cyclists!

Right. Refusing to accept your responsibility under the laws of our country, and your duty to the truth is certainly "manning up". Maybe for a scumbag weasel who seems happier than a pig in **** while wallowing in the cesspool of the California penal system...

I guess if multiple co-defendants in a gang rape case or their non-participating friends refuse to testify against one another, you'll have a "manning up" orgasm...

Rarely, does the quartermaster go down with the ship with the Captain, bravo, brave man.
