In brief: Details of doping scandal exposed in trial

U.S. track and field’s doping scandal was laid out during testimony Tuesday at former track coach Trevor Graham’s trial in San Francisco.

Graham is charged with three counts of lying to federal authorities investigating a massive sports doping ring centered at the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, or BALCO, in Burlingame, Calif.

The names of many of the nation’s drug-disgraced athletes were dredged up including Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery and Antonio Pettigrew – each won gold in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney while training with Graham.

Lead government investigator Jeff Novitzky said admitted performance-enhancing drug dealer Angel “Memo” Heredia, testified he helped those track athletes and others – through Graham – obtain banned performance-enhancing drugs.
