As confirmed by Victor Conte on Twitter of BALCO Laboratories, this story will focus on a doping scandal that was prominent in the 2000s and led to the convictions of 11 people.
Per Netflix, here’s more background on the doc:
“For 16 years, Conte swears BALCO Laboratories, his supplement and nutrition company based in the Bay Area, never dabbled in illegal, performance-enhancing drugs. But by 2000, he went to the dark side and became the go-to guy for athletes in search of steroids, fame, and world records. The film features interviews with several of Conte’s notable former associates – including Montgomery and the anti-doping and IRS authorities who helped send him to prison after a 42-count indictment – give harrowing testimony as the legend of one of sports’ most notorious names continues to unfold.”
The documentary will be 75 minutes in length.
