Fainaru-Wada joins ESPN

November 13, 2007

Mark Fainaru-Wada, who with Lance Williams wrote the devastating indictment of Barry Bonds and the steroid issue, will join the staff of ESPN, according to a report on Marketwatch,com.

Fainaru-Wada leaves his job at The San Francisco Chronicle where he co-wrote Game of Shadows: Barry Bonds, BALCO, and the Steroid Scandal that Rocked Professional Sports.

ESPN recently launched a newsmagazine, E-60, that offers a serious, investigative take on the world of athletics, similar to HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel. For several years ESPN has aired Outside the Lines, which also offers an in-depth look at important figures and topics in sports.

Fainaru-Wada and Williams were the subjects of a PBS  program, “Expose: Becoming the Story” which ran in July, 2007. An excerpt appears below; here’s a link to view the entire program at the Expose site
