Local steroid trafficking case gets TV time
[SIZE=-1]The Ann Arbor News[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The hour-long episode, airing Tuesday for the first time, focuses on Operation Equine, an investigation into steroid trafficking that began in Ann Arbor in 1989. That investigation later generated controversy when Stejskal revealed in 2005 that he had warned Major League Baseball years earlier about steroid use among players after arresting José Canseco's personal trainer. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The Investigation Discovery piece - which The News got a sneak peek of this week - focuses on Bill Randall, the undercover agent Stejskal chose to pose as a gym owner interested in getting steroids for some clients. Randall and Stejskal are extensively interviewed, interspersed with a number of flashback scenes showing them - portrayed by actors - working together on the case. Randall was assigned to the Detroit FBI office and now lives in Oakland County. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The episode has plenty of Ann Arbor references - including footage of late Wolverines football coach Bo Schembechler, who went to Stejskal with his suspicions that opposing players were using steroids around 1989. And Mike Gittleson, a retired Wolverines strength and conditioning coach, is interviewed for the piece. [/SIZE]
