Jim Lampley Has Intimate Knowledge of Steroid "Pipeline"

Jim Lampley: The Truth About Steroids

I think this is a pretty darn big story, since Lampley has been a sports reporter for something like 30 years, and has been intimately involved in boxing and the Olympics. For this reason I have posted it here and at my place. I think this needs to get some legs so that pressure can be put on Lampley to uncover his "pipeline" which he says includes "athletes, trainers, doctors, other medical personnel, agents, coaches, bodyguards, sycophants and hangers-on of all descriptions."

Steroids and their imitators have been readily available to top athletes in every major sport for up to thirty years, and they are distributed through a massive pipeline that involves athletes, trainers, doctors, other medical personnel, agents, coaches, bodyguards, sycophants and hangers-on of all descriptions. The number of big-time athletes who have used them regularly is much larger than the public would ever want to know. The number who have used them situationally, just to recover from injury, dramatically expands the pool.

so uh, Jimmy, I think it's time you spill the beans. The first step to ending this absurdity is to crack down. So lets hear it. The who what when where and why's of the steroid "pipeline" as you call it. You claim trainers, doctors other medical personnel, agents, COACHES...Who are they? You must know. I can't imagine you would just be spouting off to sound important, come on, you do boxing commentary, you're a big shot!

I especially want to know the "big-time athletes" who you know are doping, and who have doped situationally as you call it.

This should be jaw-dropping, headlining, subpoena generating news.
