Some weeks we feel like "Law and Order". We expect that music between scenes to start playing in the background da-da. Considering the surprise from San Francisco federal court today, da-da.
Dana Stubblefield (remember him?) found himself in court charged with lying to BALCO investigators about steroid use. Who would have thought? The AP goes with the story.
Former NFL defensive lineman Dana Stubblefield pleaded guilty Friday to lying to investigators in the BALCO steroids case, making him the first football player charged in the long-running federal investigation.
Stubblefield, a three-time Pro Bowl player who testified before the BALCO grand jury in November 2003, was charged with making false statements to federal agents about his use of performance-enhancing drugs.
The charges were unsealed Friday in federal court in San Francisco. They allege Stubblefield made false statements to an IRS agent when he said he had not used steroids linked to the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative and denied receiving performance enhancers from BALCO founder Victor Conte.
The 37-year-old Stubblefield pleaded not guilty and was released on bail. He returned to court later Friday to enter his plea to the false statements charge. The deal calls for him to spend zero to six months in prison.
Stubblefield and his attorney, Mike Armstong, declined to comment as they left court.
Apparently the BALCO prosecutors continue to clean up that action. Another hangover from BALCO, Marion Jones, was sentenced last week to 6 months, the same as Stubblefield.
Others involved in the BALCO investigation included Tammy Thomas (cyclist), Trevor Graham (track coach), and Barry Bonds (baseball). Bonds will stand trial for perjury and obstruction.
The Feds appear to be putting out a message about lying to them in investigations. Advise: don't lie to the Feds. da-da
