Only people like this man know and tell the truth. The others have no idea what they are being asked to do, but since it is a multibillion business ... the wheel turns.

I was a runner, weight lifter, and health nut all my adult life. After 20+ years, I decided to try one cycle of testosterone to gain weight. It was unbelievable. In 6 weeks I gained at least 6 pounds of muscle mass. After two hours in the gym, I would go home just because I thought I should, not because I was tired. And the next day? Jump out of bed in the morning, do 8 hours on my feet at factory job, then hit the gym for another two hours. NEVER got tired. NEVER got sore. Everyone I knew commented on my new size within a few weeks. The drugs are crazy!

Our college baseball hitting coach played in the minors and pros in the early 2000s-2010s. He would talk about the “use it or lose it” culture-confirming Conte’s take on the rampant usage among athletes, especially in the minors where the pressure is arguably more intense since many players aren’t making a living and every piece of your game is highly scrutinized. He essentially said that steroids never took a player from bad to great, but simply from 60-75% each game to 90%+ across the grueling 162-game schedule.
lol, dude were selling steroids for like 20 years, made millions, served 4 month in jail and now he's anti-doping advocate. That's ridiculous, he knew what he was doing all along, why would anyone believe that he want's athletes to not use drugs instead of finding a loopholes to make them use some drugs without being detected.
Because nobody truely cares. Viewers want superhuman sports achievements and more events per year (than possible normally), advertisers want a clean image, sports players want fame and money, journalists want headlines with records. The secret serves everyone, even if anyone with half a brain sees right through it.
My big brother was a top, competitive athlete for hurdles here in Aus…. Once he got to a certain level and despite being amazing, realised he couldn’t compete with the “big boys” because he wouldn’t use performance enhancing meds etc…. Ironically he is an industrial chemist and could probably make most of the substances they talk about but doesn’t…… uses his skills as a chemical expert for the fire department and saves lives everyday
so much corruption and bias in sports ped testing and penalties. Like Nick Diaz got a 5 year ban for smoking weed, but others fighters got 6 months for cocaine, or even less for actual anabolic postive tests. It`s all about the money, if you`re a big earner, you get a pass.
Nick Diaz didn't get a five year ban for smoking weed. That might've been the stated reason, but the real reason was that he would run his mouth (accurately) to anyone who would listen about the fact that more than half of the fighters on the UFC roster were juicing.
Barry Bonds must have gotten his lawyers to get Conte to sign an NDA, because I'm impressed that in 25 minutes of discussing BALCO's history he didn't mention Bonds a single time despite being BALCO's most prominent U.S. client.

I did PED when i was in my late 20's and early 30's... let me tell you, you become and feel super human. Muscles are constantly full and dense, fat loss is VERY easy with a simple diet, your mood is like another level of confidence, strength is unbelievable. For me, i never experienced bad side effects but everyone is different. PED's take you to another level.
@Tepaneca what are you talking about? I'm in my 40s now and in great health. I still go to the gym regularly to stay in shape. I've been around many guys who used PEDs, and they're all fine. However, the problems begin when PEDs are abused. The euphoric feeling of obtaining a great physique gets in the way and causes bad judgment and overdoing it. A simple cycle here and there aren't going to cause damage like the mainstream portrays. Speaking of that, the mainstream stays completely silent when it comes to the fatal damage pharmaceutical drugs do to people.
@@uzernam3Don’t listen to that guy. You’re right about the abuse part, it’s the same with anything really.

The chemo drug? Sounds like that would give them such a huge "advantage." I'd more worried about the US cheating than anyone else. Zigler and the US invented doping. Then after the rest of the world caught on and caught up, the US invented the religious crusade cult of anti-doping and imposed that regime on the rest of the world by force. Rules for thee but not for me. Sports would be a lot better, safer and fairer if the athletes were all allowed to do whatever they wanted and whatever it takes to win. It would actually be an even field. The way it is now is entirely political. Americans are clueless. The rest of the world doesn't have some moral taboo about steroids. They're just considered medicine. As it should be.
Entire russian figure skater team medaled in 2022, then the positive doping results came, but IOC decided to "compromise", and instead of disqualifying the team, they just... took away ceremonies... which had American and other clean athletes, all because of controversy of NOT disqualifying russians who JUST had a positive doping test (less than a weak later it turned out most Olympians were officers in russian army, and many celebrated war because OF COURSE). All while russian commentators kept complaining about "Western lies" of imminent invasion.
Let’s not act surprised when in several years later our multi million advertising heroes such as Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps and all those super stars appear mentioned in these kind of documentaries
come off it lol. Either it's been pushed under the rug because he is too valuable to Athletics, or he's just been using underectables and timing it well. Yes he's naturally talented, and if everyone was clean he would still be the fastest. Just think about Lance Armstrong
Disappointing but wildly fascinating. I appreciate his transparency. I pray he is actually changed. Feedback for the producer: I had to pause the video at the end with the text several times as it was transitioning quickly. Excellent video overall. Keep it up.
It's hilarious how so many clueless people think that just because an athlete never tested positive, that they are 'clean.' I bet most (or all) of the athletes at the elite level of sport including track and field use some form of anabolics and performance enhancers. At that Olympic level, talent can only get you so far. You need that extra edge to train harder and get faster and stronger. No matter what tests there are out there, these athletes and their support team will find some way to beat it.
I agree with you but also agree with him that the athletes are put in a very very tough position. And it's really too bad that that's how it works and the powers that be won't put forth the effort to seriously keep sports clean and make it so athletes don't have to cheat just to keep up with the other ones who are cheating.
I realised this when I watched the 88 100m documentary. What pissed me off was Carl was so smug after being given Gold as if he hadn’t been doping himself in 88 and 84. They’re all dirty some just get caught.
I knew a Russian doctor who came to the USA before the end of the Cold War and the people who helped him get established here had to have a serious conversation with him to explain that he couldn't simply prescribe steroids to people. He thought it was totally normal, no problem.

@@Joyce-zl4qd true, but he still wont touch certain athletes he’s worked with. Like Barry Bonds, whom he still claims he never gave steroids to. Yet, Bonds tested positive for THG, had a calendar of his steroid use found in the ZMA lab, and did promotional stuff for them.
I don't think 'cheating' has the same moral implications if everyone does it (and by design, everyone does it because the regulations are deliberately not enforced). By taking drugs you're not getting an unfair advantage, you're just levelling the playing field. The IOC WANTS people to take drugs, since they can then get better and better performances. Imagine if world records just stopped being broken and all the athletic performances just got worse. I don't think any worse of a professional athlete for taking PEDs - it's part of their job description.
I agree with this fully. I used to do strongman and in my last comp out of 17 people I placed 5th and the people that beat me I knew 100% used drugs because they told me. It was a cross roads for me, a realization that to continue in that sport I need to do what the masses were doing or not...
As a high level strongman I want to point out that the sport is famously untested. It's not even cheating to use steroids in strongman because there's no rule against it
@@ukestudio3002I don't think you understand how ethics work buddy. First off there's nothing morally wrong about using PEDs especially in strongman where it's allowed. The only thing stopping you is if you're willing to damage your health. Second off, ethics aren't always a right or wrong thing. Taking a life is wrong, but what if it's a soldier taking a life during war to protect the citizens of his own country from dying? Stealing is wrong, but what if someone has been lost in the woods with no food or water and they find an empty cabin with food, is it okay to eat the food so they don't starve to death?
It's sad but you know you won and that is what matters in my opinion. People take these little contests way to seriously, like they will fix their mental health problems when they get 1st place in some arbitrary sport. I used to compete in many things always without cheating and in my opinion the people who invest the most time in something will usually win (if genetics are equal). So, what is even the point? Showing everyone that you had the most time to waste while being born with good genetics? Nowadays I try to put my time into things that actually help others or society. Because it isn't about competing in those cases. Whatever you do, it is always a good thing and no one is measuring his own ego by helping others more (unless they are fucked up in some way).
PED use is more rampant in professional athletics than people care to believe. The only athletes who get caught are the ones who either got careless with their regimen or took PEDs that were unknowingly cut with more detectable substances. When this is your professional career, when you have millions of dollars of sponsorships on the line, when you assume (for good reason) that everyone else is doing it, and when you know there are ways to fool the tests, then it becomes a no-brainer.
This corruption happened for so long that, you have to use it to even the playing field. I don’t even know if EVERYONE stop using it, how long would it takes for athletes to be able to break the world records of those before them that used PEDs. I’m sure it can happened but it will take a LONG time and if that happened, the money will stop flowing in to the sports. It’s just sad man.
@@HARTTG If everyone stopped using drugs the records would not get broken obviously. They would not get broken until the human physique has significally changed, which usually takes a couple of generations.
Or had their protection withdrawn for one reason or another. Kenya just had something like 29 athletes fail testing, but for "some" reason not the top ones... surely they are clean...
@@fh2234 apart from some epigenetics, it takes way more than a couple of generations, and there are always drawbacks to any beneficial change, AND there would need to be environmental pressure affecting procreation for it to happen in the first place
You don't have to answer this but did you know athletes who used PEDs? And were you offered or advised(obliquely or otherwise) by coaches to 'supplement' your training?
A Tyler Hamilton interview on doping inside the Tour de France would be a terrific "How Crime Works" episode. "The Hidden Race" is an amazing expose of how Lance Armstrong (among many other racers) was enabled at every turn to "win" and get away with his lies.
Some people may not like Tyler Hamilton's book because it's sports-specific, (cycling) but it goes into EXTREMELY small detail about what they took, how and when they took it and how they got away with it. Lots of details on how to avoid testing. From not answering the knock on your door, to pretending to be away on vacation when you're physically somewhere else, training and taking PEDs. I guess/assume that cycling is heavy on the EPO while other athletes are heavier on anabolics, but the book is still very applicable to people wanting to understand how this has been a problem so long, and how/why it continues to be a problem. Hopefully it opens people's eyes that the problem hasn't gone away; it's just changed. Some new chemicals, new techniques, loopholes, better management.
If you were at a level high enough to try and make the Olympic team, you should have been wise enough to know the ones who make it are on peds. That is why there is no stopping the usage because you are either out or you are in
Was in a national taekwondo team like 15 years ago, they always told us to just train harder and everything depend on us. Watching this now not sure if I wanna just cry or smash something. I don’t believe they were telling us things so confidently while knowing sh!t about anything. Or they knew but they just lied. And I really believed back then It was purely my failure not achiving great results.
Yeah. I knew about 2 dozen guys personally who were on the beans, as we called it. This was mid 80s at the height of it. They all got huge. When Ben Johnson got stung in Seoul it just killed me...the whole thing, the double standards, the whole circus. I had to decide either take PED or quit. I quit. I had 3 x state champs in decath, and once in 110 hurdles. Age 25. Training age 5. I had aimed to peak at 28-32. I trained as hard as the roid boys but could not ever recover like they could seemingly overnight. Glad I never took PEDs.
problem is that most of them dont have a clue..... the guy 8:36 guy complainung about no epo test....but there was no real epo test before 2002. and since 2008 we can test old test examples. even today we cant offficial ban people for epo because the epo user would win in court.
Hi to Zimbabwe from Pickard, Indiana, US! I think it's neat to hear from people from far away places haha. And, idk, in a discussion about the Olympics, which is all about international competition, one's geographic background has, perhaps, some relevance to the conversation. Opinions on doping seem to vary widely across different cultures.
@@SkyTurnsPurplePhotography He might not be on test/GH but he was likely on stuff to help recovery and aid in training. Not all PEDs are about putting on muscle. Everyone in elite sports of any kind is on some sort of PED. Not everyone is on stupid amounts of them like Liver King to maintain an insane physique.
basically, olympic sports need to be completely redone and overhauled, like FIFA and other big sports competition who grew more and more corrupt over time. and it's all being done on the shoulders of athletes who then have to deal with extreme life complications later on in their lives only to be competitive to even get a paycheck and also, cause they blindly trust their trainers when they are very young. it's just extremely sad...
Since Ben Johnson in the early 90's I had registered that burst/anaerobic athletics was totally compromised and it wasnt fun to watch anymore. I never watched long distances so it wasnt on my radar, but those guys are so toasted its absurb. All aerobic and anaerobic exclusive sports are doped high as kites now. The only events that might not be jacked-to-the-teeth is maybe high jump, pole vault, diving (pool) i dont know what else.... ? The sports where a combination of microphysical movement and elasticity is combined with control appear not to be routinely abused... or they havent found a way to drug it for advantage.
It has been. Every time they catch these guys, testing changes. His comments are out of date. Now, any athlete go competes internationally, gets tested continuously out of competition. I was eligible for testing for 18 months after I retired and got tested at 6 months. The reasons is “People retiring, using drugs, then coming back.” And it sucks when guys like this say “Everyone” is doing it. Because that isn’t true.
@@MaxPower-vf8kt his comments aren't out of date, he talks about the testing out of competition as well. You can also look up the guidelines and see the difference in what they test for in vs out of competition.
I wasn’t even into track and field, until I watched Marion Jones. I participated in gymnastics and seeing her made me want to train harder and keep my spirit up on even the worst days. I was devastated when she admitted to PED use. Even in gymnastics there have been teams that have falsified birth certificates and were found to use diuretics to keep the girls weight down. There’s also been rumors of puberty blockers amongst other things. For the most part, there’s no drug substance in the world that is going to ensure that you don’t fall off the balance beam or maintain your composure on the pommel horse. 😢
@@__baloo__ The thing about massive mistakes like falling off the apparatus in gymnastics is that it can cause a mental block or make you nervous. Falls are a huge deduction in itself. To get back up and keep your composure is harder than you think. Especially with thousands of spectators watching you.
If you can practise 20 hours a week a person on gear can practise 40. They could be half as talented as you and still be as good because they get to practise more.
@@JasonAtlas Many elite gymnasts already practice nearly 40 hours a week. I was in this sport for over a decade. Many teens end up turning to correspondence or homeschooling in order to get more hours in. And again, there is no drug in the world that is going to keep you from falling off equipment or going out of bounds on floor, etc. I’m not saying drugs haven’t been used, but in the case of gymnastics it doesn’t give you much of an edge. Also, the cheating is mainly with false birth certificates from communist countries such as North Korea and China.

@@CamJames you must not have listened well to the interview. Marion jones was tested over 1000 times and never tested positive. Athletes and their trainers are one step ahead of the testers. That being said, believe what you want. Ignorance is bliss
Drugs can't grow your legs to the length of Usain Bolt's. They're all using but he has physical gifts that they don't have. Just like Michael Phelps, the limb length and turnover make a massive advantage.
The first postion that tested clean in Lance aramtongs famous race was position 29(they probably just cycles their roads better). My point is every modern sport is a sport infested with roads, probably about 80% of baseball, hockey, football, soccer, Olympic contestants, and 99% of ufc, boxers, bodybuilders, strongman. Natty sports don't exist. It's part of the game now, no harm no foul. It should just be legal and basically is with trt clinics
Yes. The obvious canned answer of 'embarrassing my family is the worst part' is where you know he's just finding a safer place to practice. We've heard that answer from so many scandal ridden people over the years. No actual regret or contrition. Just a sympathy play. I don't really care honestly. I think most people are hypocrites about this subject. Does anyone really think a guy like Babe Ruth wouldn't have used if he could have? We need to be realistic about it. The makers will always be a step ahead of the testing. Stop all the selective shaming and make real policy that helps athletes and sports be honest.
Great video, great character to hear from, a fascinating story. I remember following the Marion Jones (now Jones-Thompson) story when it happened, back when I was a kid. I remember hearing about her painful background and her "why" never really grokked for me, but it makes a lot more sense when you get the feeling from Victor Conte that the stuff was apparently everywhere and used by everyone. Since you solicited suggestions at the end: I'd like to hear from former hate-sellers. Someone who ran a troll farm, a partisan talkshow, website, magazine, social media, et cetera and made money exploiting people's eagerness to have their prejudices reinforced and mirrored.
I'm really glad this was published because there are so many people who believe that certain big-name track athletes are clean. I saw another video with Conte that was much shorter. He talked about certain track athletes posting suspicious times at events based on what he knew about the industry. There were so many nay-sayers in the comments. When I contrast that video to this one, this one has way more detail, and he drops a ton of insider knowledge. I see way fewer comments from anyone trying to deny what he's saying, and that's a testament to the thoroughness and detail of this piece.
I agree. And it's not just sprinters! Middle and long distance runners do it too. Maybe they are heavier on the EPO and lighter on anabolics, with a focus on improved recovery, but I still think MOST top endurance athletes are taking something.
He's completely transparent about who he was/is and what he did. Remorse is always optional. At least he's being transparent about what he and others were doing, unlike most elite athletes, coaches and athletic organizations who lie about being clean while doping to the gills.
Darrell Robinson admitted to selling hgh to flojo and they had no testing method for it back then so that's how you explain her records. Some how, there are still people out here naive enough to think she was clean and her records are legit.
Right??? I remember watching all the ball players testify......sosa forgot how to speak English lol. Bonds said no thanks I'm not going. Mac had his mother goose glasses.
Now he is the head of Snacs and is giving boxers PEDs and helping them pass the test some of the best boxers are under his banner. Guys like Terrance Crawford and Devin Haney
It really doesn't help with anything since this is outdated by 20 years and doesn't cover any specifics. They describe it in enough details to be educational but not enough for you to be able to recreate it in any way. I know you are most likely joking but with those videos some people seriously say that they they teach people how to start a criminal enterprise or something. If it's being discussed on RU-vid it means that none of those methods work any longer.
I remember one athlete said that taking something to help you improve your ability and to recover faster was worth it even if you got caught the benefits outweigh the consequences. That isn't exactly how he said it but that's what he said
The Olympic adds wells just the extra irony that this video needed. Athletes promoting products after he just said that corporations sweep the drug testing under the rug so they don't look bad. Thanks capital one!!
Absolutely taking the piss now. "Peak Pantani would need an e-bike to follow him" said my roommate watching todays stage (stage 19) 🤣. 3:30 minutes faster on the final climb than riders in 1993 doped to their gills with EPO. All down to superior diets, training and material, obviously🤡. I wouldn't mind as much if he only did this at the TDF. But this year, this guy has literally been demolishing everyone from march until now, in classics and in Grand Tours. As you know, that's simply unheard of, which makes this particular version of Pogi incredibly grating. And sure, there are a lot of questions to be had for the peloton in general, given everyone goes faster than ever. But since none of them has ridden a Giro before relegating everyone to amateurs whilst beating numerous climbing records at the Tour showing no signs of Giro-fatigue, than that riders performances should be questioned first.
Yeah absolutely not loving the tour right now and i was on the side of believing the new tech/nutrition/carb intake meta. The way he easily hounded vingegaard while remaining seated a few stages ago reminded me of how lance looked back then. Way too comfortable while outputting way too much power. Freaky to watch. Like a ghost floating uphill.
you pretty much said what I said word for word to a friend of mines yesterday. Smashed the Giro and just breezing in the tour. And you crushed the record of a guy who was glowing when he set his record. Pog seems like a good guy and I don’t have any hate towards him but damn…
Very informative video but there's a 0% chance the athletes he's with today are clean. There is no reason to have him on your team unless you wanna dope. What purpose does he serve? You can have a nutritionist to get the best diet possible so he offers nothing for a clean athlete. Funny how he says the tests were easy to pass but now he's clean VADA are very strict and hard to pass 😂😂, yeah right...
@@growtocycle6992 He said he’s a changes man and has clean athletes now… Implying that he’s not helping them dope…. That’s basically saying he’s not providing them gear even if he is.
I used to play amateur rugby.. Once I was prescribed a fairly strong cycle of cortisone for an allergy problem and I didn’t know it was considered a PED. I started to realize when I still had quite a lot of energy at the end of a game or a training, while normally I was somewhere between tired and completely spent. While it lasted, it was great 😂
Not sure why that's hard to wrap your head around. If he was a millionaire already and it wasn't making him more millions then it must have been a passion for him. Seeing how good your stuff is and beating everyone else's system is rewarding in of itself.
I ran D1 Track and Field, more people were using than were not. I personally stayed away as i didnt care about the sport enough to dope. I was naturally talented and just quit because i had no love for completing.

Not really. Richer countries generally get more medals becuase they have better access to sport. More people have access to a wider range of sport and coaching from a young age. They also have less financial pressure, allowing them to focus on sport and there’s greater financial support available for budding athletes. The most successful countries also have high populations, giving them a larger pool of athletes and a greater possibility of finding a world champion. India is an odd one out as their sporting interests lie outside of olympic sports (and is a relatively poor country). Great Britain outperforms relative to its population because it has a very focused funding program for olympic sports Smaller countries that have focused all their resources on a single sport have done very well but they’re not going to win medals outside of that sport. Jamaica in springting and Kenya in long distance for example.
I was in post rehab group sessions with Patrick Arnold. I had no idea who he was at the time, although the lady running the meetings hinted at his notoriety. He was a calm reserved fellow, I don't remember much, other than when he was in jail, it was scary and there was some inmate nicknamed Bean dip who for obvious reasons was intimidating. I also remember outside the meetings, he talked about making his own drugs. I don't mean drug drugs, I just mean like designer energy enhancers and stuff like that. But anyway, I found out later who he was and was like holy crap, I was in post rehab meetings with that guy! I know I know, 'what a story Mark'. But obviously I was very surprised to learn that I had been in post rehab meetings with THE chemist who had designed the clear.
It’s funny Lance Armstrong is the scapegoat of cheaters but it wasn’t just him. It was completely ubiquitous in road cycling. Of the 7 years he won Tour de France 20 out of 21 of his competitors were also found guilty of doping at some point in their careers. Yeah. It was THAT bad

If U are a high-performance athlete in any sport then the chances of U doing steroids in ur career is almost 💯, We know it, they know it, and they know that we know it, But hey they entertain us and exceed the realm of possibility in our minds👏🏽🤷🏽♂️ And just to be clear, Taking steroids will NOT make u compete in the highest level overnight, These athletes are special and dedicate years of their lives to perfecting their craft, Nothing but respect for them👏🏽💚
cut the crap. they are enhanced..they cannot perform at the highest level without the juice...being talented is cool but training season without using steroids is a waste of time when the competition are all juiced up monsters...
@@cosmicwisdom999 An athlete so talented that is winning their whole life without the need for steroids won't suddenly take the risk to start using steroids when they can win without them.
Imagine being a natural athlete at his peak performance. For one, you won't be able to compete against the top junkies. And even worse, people will just assume you are a junkie yourself.
It's even worst than that. You'll suffer twice or triple because those junkie freaks never get tired, they recovered twice as fast, and get 5x the gains you get for each training they do.
As a beginner natural strenght athlete it surprises me that some people think the olympic athletes don't use anabolycs and PEDs, something that is obvious to anyone in any sports/athletic fields
It’s funny you say this, I feel like you can understand these things better if you train. I’ve trained so much, monitored my diet and sleep strictly. And my PB in the 100m is 10.11 I haven’t ran faster than that, normally I run 10.3s. And you mean to tell me someone ran 9.58 clean, when Ben Johnson got caught in 88 using anabolics, even the second fastest men: Yohan Blake, and Tyson who ran 9.69 where caught doping. Bolt is just protected. The human body has limitations. Bolt ran 10.03 one year and comes back running 9.69. It’s in peoples eyes is just they don’t want to listen I can’t even train more than 4x a week, otherwise I experience so much body pain. Sprinting is taxing for the body and these people train all year round 6 times a week alongside competing. Tells you all you need to know 😊
Kersee was the trainer of Flo Jo, Jackie Joiner Kersee and is the trainer of Sydney McLaughlin. All three have set World Records that may never be broken. However I would not be surprised if Sydney McLaughlin breaks her WR for the 5th. time during the Paris Olympics. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
likely has excess growth hormone. He has that protruding lower jaw that Lebron and Steph also now have. I can't speculate if that's from natural growth hormone secreting tumor or external substances. I just know im relatively confident this is an individual who as an adult was frequently exposed to excess growth hormone
@@a.j.mafolasire3346 I see some of those same jaw forms in the Chinese athletes. Phelps may have gotten HGH as a teenager...but until you have proof it is just throwing mud at people
That's what they tell the public to keep them happy. Obviously, most people are against drugs and don't want to believe their favorite athletes are dirty
I never watch the tour of anything. At least the racing stuff can be ultimately be 70% on the machine. The tour is 95% human effort. No way can you keep expanding the tour and you can complete the stages without drugs.
Javier Sotomayor, the high jump world record holder, was training im Uruguay for months before breaking the WR... My former trainer competed against him at the Darwin Pinyeirúa competition. Sotomayor was good but not top world class good. In less that 2 years he went from 2.20m to 2.45m... In Uruguay they did not do drug tests at that time
That's why that Aussie swim coach said it was humanly impossible for Pan Zhanle to have beaten that field in the mens 100 metres free by that much. Did he know the extent of doping going on? And Pan never ended up with a purple face.
