Reporter shines light on steroids
Cincinnati Post, OH - Jun 26, 2006
"The feds kicked in the door of what we thought was a vitamin company down by the airport," Williams recounted. "My boss asked Mark to just find out what's going on down there. What Mark did find out was it was a nutritional supplement company, and the nutritional supplements were a cover for banned drugs, and the customers were some of the greatest athletes in the world of track and field and NFL football, as well as baseball. It was just finding out what happened."

It was the government, then, that got the story started, and it's the government, now, that has subpoenaed Williams and Fainaru-Wada to make them tell where, exactly, their information came from. The Justice Department would like to know who leaked to them the secret grand jury testimony of Bonds and Jason Giambi.

The intrepid reporters, meanwhile, have no intention of revealing their unnamed sources, a noble stubbornness that could land them in jail for a longer term, possibly, than the three months meted out to Bonds' personal trainer, Greg Anderson, or the four months served by Victor Conte, BALCO's inscrutable president, or the zero months imposed upon the union officials and baseball execs who permitted the national pastime to be distorted and disgraced.
