Track Coach Sentenced in Balco Scandal

Slugger Barry Bonds is slated to stand trial in March on similar charges.

A judge has sentenced disgraced track coach Trevor Graham to one year of home confinement for lying to federal sports doping investigators.

Graham once coached Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery and several other elite athletes who later were banned for taking performance-enhancing drugs.

Graham's sentence is the second such no-prison term the judge has handed down in less than a month in connection with the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative steroids scandal.

Former elite bicyclist Tammy Thomas received a sentence of six months of home detention for lying to a grand jury about her steroid use.
