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...

    Only if you are in archery or marksmanship is *pot* a performance enhancing substance. Lumping it with steroids is disengenuous, and all of you that use the term 'banned substance' without explanation should be ashamed. One is cheating, the other is foolish. Hall should not expect anything from Van Dyken, and neither should we - there is no indication that she is guilty of *anything.* She has every right to be quiet, and I would not expect her to divulge grand jury evidence. Mr. Van Dyken should also be ashamed about trying to muzzle the free press (if true). The information on Swiminfo was all over the country and published many places, and his daughter is a public figure who has made several strong and public statements about doping. I am disappointed that Swiminfo responded to threats in the way it apparently did. Mr. Van Dyken should also be ashamed about raising a daughter that spits in her opponent's lane.
