He is charged with “endangering public health” rather than with running a doping ring. I would have thought accessory to fraud would have been more on target

Lucky not to have died. Terrible risks they were intimidated into taking.

They do now... just not at the time this all happened.
Best case is they get threatened with some prison time... they bargain their way out of it by coming clean and we find out the real truth.
