BALCO figure Tammy Thomas seeks new trial in sports doping case

SAN FRANCISCO - Former elite cyclist Tammy Thomas has asked for a new trial because of a newly disclosed report about the government's top sports doping investigator.
Thomas was convicted last year of lying to a grand jury when she denied using steroids. On Friday, her lawyer, Ethan Balogh, told a judge the cyclist deserved a new trial.
He said prosecutors failed to turn over the complete report that cleared IRS agent Jeff Novitzky and several other agents of being responsible for $600 in money missing from the more than $60,000 seized in the September 2003 raid of the apartment of Greg Anderson, Barry Bonds' personal trainer.
Balogh complained he wasn't given the part of the report discussing allegations that Novitzky planned to write a book about doping in sports.
