Yeah he was in with Balco along with some baseball players and I forget who else.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BALCO
Among the athletes listed in the record of BALCO customers were:
* MLB players: Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, Gary Sheffield, Benito Santiago, Jeremy Giambi, Bobby Estalella, Armando Rios
* Athletes: Hammer thrower John McEwen, shot putters Kevin Toth and C.J. Hunter, sprinters Dwain Chambers, Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery, Raymond J. Smith and Kelli White, middle-distance runner Regina Jacobs, boxer Shane Mosley.
* Cycling : Tammy Thomas.
* NFL players: A number from the Oakland Raiders, including Bill Romanowski, Tyrone Wheatley, Barrett Robbins, Chris Cooper and Dana Stubblefield.
* Judo: Conte was also connected with supplying "vitamin supplements" to the 1988 U.S. Olympic Judo team coached by Willy Cahill of San Bruno, California.
* Christos Tzekos and his athletes were initially connected to BALCO but later cleared.[3]
That story was big news when it broke.
