SPECIAL REPORT: The Curious Case of Troy Ellerman

When examining the BALCO investigation, Troy Ellerman is one of the most compelling figures. The man who leaked the sealed grand jury transcripts regarding Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, Gary Sheffield, and sprinter Tim Montgomery to Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams, became the topic of a series of articles in the San Francisco Chronicle, and a key element for the book Game of Shadows. Ellerman was eventually caught, and sentenced to 30 months in a federal prison for his crimes, but as reported on The Biz of Baseball, Ellerman did only a fraction of the jail time.
