Victor Conte, mastermind of one of the biggest steroid scandals in sports history, died Monday Nov. 3, according to a post on the X account of his company SNAC.
He was 75.
Conte had undergone treatment for pancreatic cancer this year.
"We are Heartbroken by the Passing of our Fearless Leader...'' the post reads. "We will Honor his Wishes. SNAC and his Legacy will Carry Forward, Strong and Forever. We LOVE you, Conte!''
In 2003, federal agents raided Conte’s business BALCO and his home in Northern California while investigating the scandal involving steroids. Conte pleaded guilty in 2005 to conspiracy to distribute steroids and money laundering after being accused of supplying the drugs to high-profile athletes, including home run king Barry Bonds and Olympic gold medalist sprinter Marion Jones.
