You don't think that would make him a complete idiot? If you're stupid enough to train with a known performance-enhancing drug provider, you might as well get some of the benefits. so byrd is stupid? I have a hunch that the providers of these substances can get you both legal and illegal. it's not as if Conte is the only guy that's ever provided an athlete with PEDs. Most infamous? Maybe, but that doesn't mean he's the only one. And the fact that his stuff worked so well may suggest that he can be really good with the legal stuff too. Byrd is stupid in the sense that he's drawing a bunch of negative attention to himself by working with Conte. There are thousands of trainers, yet he chooses to work with one who is infamous for running a PED lab. MLB only does urine tests anyway. I'm sure there's a lot of stuff players use that's not detectable without a blood test (e.g., HGH). Is Byrd using any of these? We can't know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was.
