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...

Beware of hypocracy. For the same reasons that Gary can say what he wants and you can say what you want, I can do the same. My opinion is that in such a sensitive situation where NONE OF US knows the truth or circumstances, Hall has NO standing to ask/demand that Van Dyken come out and defend herself. Why does he think she needs to? What does he know? By tearing down a former Olympian, without any facts regarding her status in this case, how is he promoting our sport for the "larger mass of Americans"? He is helping to fuel the recent frenzy about steriod abuse that is tearing apart (rightfully, both cases) the USATF and soon MLB. He simply isn't helping.
