It’s a lousy time to bring this up, but long-time reader Eddie Ashe picked up a story that’s getting little play in the US. Seems the BALCO investigation is under investigation, following a “a call by John Conyers, a Democratic Congressman from Michigan, for the US Justice Department to investigate how the BALCO case has been handled – in particular the involvement of the non-governmental United States Anti-Doping Agency – and the possibility that constitutional rights covering searches and seizure of property were violated.”
It’s interesting how the SF Chronicle hasn’t chosen to run an innuendo-filled feature article detailing how their reporters are under subpoena for publishing documents that were restricted to Grand Jury and the actual jury trial preparation.
