Net Closes on US Dope Scandal The man at the centre of the doping scandal that has rocked America looks set to reveal all he knows. Victor Conte, who is accused of heading a steroid distribution ring to top athletes through his firm Balco, hopes to win a plea bargain by naming names. Conte has until now refused to speak out, but has agreed to list those involved if his conditions are met. His revelations could mean the USA's Olympic team will be missing some of its biggest and best-known stars. A federal grand jury charged Conte, his deputy James Valente, baseball slugger Barry Bonds' personal trainer Greg Anderson and another coach with steroid distribution charges earlier this year. His attorney took the step of appealing to the US President George W Bush, who condemned steroid use in his last State of the Union speech, after Conte's closed-door efforts to reach a deal with prosecutors broke down. "Mr Conte is willing to reveal everything he knows about officials, coaches and athletes in order to help to clean up the Olympics," attorney Robert Holley wrote in a letter to Mr Bush and Attorney General John Ashcroft.
