Check was reportedly signed by C.J. HunterNEW YORK -- A $7,350 check from track star Marion Jones' bank account was written to the founder of the California lab at the center of a performance-enhancing drug scandal, The New York Times reported Saturday.
Citing two people familiar with the bank records -- previously noted in a government affidavit -- the newspaper said the check was written to Victor Conte of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative.
A grand jury probe of BALCO has led to charges against Conte, company vice president James Valente, track coach Remi Korchemny and Greg Anderson, the personal trainer for baseball star Barry Bonds. All have pleaded not guilty.
The Times reported that Jones' lawyers, while not disputing the check came from her account, said Friday that Jones had not signed or authorized the check to Conte.
