Indianapolis Indiana National Sports Lawyers
Indianapolis is the headquarters of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and a number of sports governing bodies, including USA Track &
Field, which support its claim to be the amateur sports capital of the world. At Kroger, Gardis & Regas, LLP
we understand the legal issues faced by elite athletes and sports organizations. Bill Bock has
earned a distinct reputation in representing athletes, officials, coaches, and sports organizations in eligibility, drug testing, governance, and
sponsorship matters.
For example, if you get Sports Illustrated, you may have seen Game of Shadows : Barry Bonds,
BALCO, and the Steroids Scandal that Rocked Professional Sports excerpted in SI a few weeks ago. The book is an in depth review of the
BALCO sports doping case by Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams, reporters for the San Francisco Chronicle, and was recently released. Game of
Shadows is getting a great deal of national media attention as it chronicles the evidence against Barry Bonds in compelling fashion and is quite timely
as Bonds begins his assault on the home run records of Ruth and Aaron. Bill Bock was interviewed for the book and quotes related to his participation
in USADA's investigation are contained in Chapter 21 .
