Amy Van Dyken

I ready an article today that Bary Bonds was going to appear before the BALCO grand jury and in the article it stated this: "Athletes that already have appeared before the grand jury include track star Marion Jones and her boyfriend, 100-meter world record-holder Tim Montgomery, four Oakland Raiders and Olympic champion swimmer Amy Van Dyken. An appearance before the grand jury, or being subpoenaed to testify, does not mean an athlete is a target of the probe." Has anyone heard as to why Amy was subpoenaed or her reaction to being subpoenaed? This whole bay area steriod thing is getting interesting...

    Not looking to Gary-bash here, as he has done some terrific things recently, most especially with the Diabetes issues as you pointed out, but you need to look up the definition of "Chutzpah" to put his comments in perspective given his history with banned substances. To refresh your memory, it was not exactly the early 90's. Hall tested positive for a banned substance twice, at the Atlanta Olympics in '96 for which he received a warning (the ban wasn't in effect until after the completion of the games) and again in '98 around the time of the goodwill games, for which he received a three month suspension. I'm no fan of Van Dyken either, but the note on Hall's website is an attack on her character that I'd expect to see in the tabloids.
