WHERE ARE THEY NOW? BALCO scandal

An update on some of the major figures in the BALCO Laboratories steroids case:
*Greg Anderson: Barry Bonds' personal trainer has been in prison since November on contempt charges for refusing to answer grand jury questions about the Giants slugger.
*Patrick Arnold: The Illinois chemist who created "the clear" was released from prison this year after serving three months for distributing illegal steroids.
*Barry Bonds: The Giants left fielder is closing in on Hank Aaron's all-time career record of 755 home runs. A grand jury is investigating whether Bonds lied under oath when testifying that he never knowingly took performance-enhancing drugs.
*Troy Ellerman: The former BALCO defense lawyer pleaded guilty Feb.15 to leaking confidential grand jury testimony of Bonds and others to the San Francisco Chronicle. Ellerman faces up to two years in prison and a 250,000 fine when he is sentenced in June.
*Trevor Graham: The former coach of Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery and other Olympic track stars is charged with lying to federal agents investigating BALCO. His trial is scheduled for Sept.24.
*Marion Jones: The Olympic star linked to BALCO married sprinter Obadele Thompson last month. She had a positive test for the banned blood-boosting drug EPO last year, but she eventually was cleared.
*Remi Korchemny: The East Bay track coach who pleaded guilty to misbranding a prescription drug in the BALCO case effectively retired last month in an agreement with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
*Tim Montgomery: The former world-record holder in the 100 meters pleaded guilty this month to cashing bogus checks in Virginia; he faces more than three years in prison. Montgomery also was banned from track in 2005 for two years because of evidence from the BALCO case showing he used illegal drugs.
*Jeff Novitzky: The former San Jose State basketball player remains the Internal Revenue Service's lead agent in continuing to track leads from the BALCO case.
*Kevin Ryan: The former San Francisco U.S. attorney, among those fired in the Bush administration's recent removal of federal prosecutors, has joined the legal firm of Allen, Matkins, Leck, Gamble & amp; Natsis in San Francisco.
*Travis Tygart: The anti-doping agency's general counsel will replace Terry Madden as executive director Oct.1. He currently is preparing for what could prove to be the agency's biggest case to date -- the May 14 hearing of Tour de France winner Floyd Landis.
*Jim Valente: Conte's right-hand man at BALCO left the company in August. He was sentenced to three years' probation in 2005.
