theglobeandmail.com on July 21, 2011 reported that federal prosecutors are seeking probation, not prison, for a Canadian sports doctor’s assistant whose arrest ultimately led to her employer’s conviction for bringing unapproved drugs into the United States to treat professional athletes.

In court filings, prosecutors have asked the judge to depart from sentencing guidelines and give Ms. Catalano probation because what she told them after her arrest helped them bring felony charges against her boss.
