Summary
Bryan Storkel, Director of Untold: Hall of Shame on Netflix. Victor Conte’s name is synonymous with the biggest doping scandal ever to rock the sports community, ensnaring top athletes such as baseball great Barry Bonds and track-and-field legends Marion Jones and Tim Montgomery.

But by 2000, he went to the dark side and became the go-to guy for athletes in search of steroids, fame, and world records.
