SAN FRANCISCO " A jury in San Francisco has found track coach Trevor Graham guilty of one count of lying to investigators about his relationship to a steroids dealer. Jurors could not reach a verdict on two other counts he was charged with.
Graham is the second figure arising from the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative doping scandal to get convicted at trial. Former cyclist Tammy Thomas also was found guilty of lying to a federal grand jury when she denied taking steroids.
Graham played a key role in the BALCO investigation, sending federal doping officials in 2003 a vial of then undetectable steroid, "the clear." Investigators traced the syringe back to BALCO.
BALCO was found to have distributed performance-enhancing drugs to numerous elite athletes.
