E. The BALCO Investigation
Commissioner Selig asked me to conduct this investigation after the publication
of Game of Shadows, a book that contained allegations about the illegal use of performance
enhancing substances by major league players that were supplied by BALCO and the personal
trainer Greg Anderson.
Throughout this investigation, a federal criminal investigation related to BALCO
was ongoing. On November 15, 2007, former San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry Bonds was
indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice based on his grand jury testimony in that
investigation. The ongoing criminal investigation, and the resulting unwillingness of many
participants to cooperate with me, limited my ability to gather information that was not already
in the public record about the involvement of major league players with BALCO. The
information that we did obtain is set forth in Chapter VII.
