SPORTS The University Daily KANSAN October 11, 1983 Page 10 U.S. Olympic Committee announces plans for 1984 drug tests By United Press International COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The United States Olympic Committee yesterday announced a strict drug-testing program and warned that athletes would not play Games even if they would quit taking drugs now. Dan Hanley of Brunswick, Maine, a physician who is the head of the U.S. Olympic Committee's Task Force on Drug Control, said some banned substances, such as anabolic steroids used to increase muscle bulk, could remain in the body for several months. He said a possibility existed that some athletes, who might have taken steroids in the past but had stopped by now, still could have a positive test several months from now and be eliminated from the Olympics. THE USOC called a news conference yesterday to announce details of a strict program to test American athletes prior to the 1984 winter and summer games. The drug program was the first in the discovery of the use of drugs by some athletes at the 1983 Pan American Games in Venezuela. Fifteen athletes from 10 nations, including two from the United States, were stripped of gold "I want to emphasize that this is a war on crime and that it is being used by F. Don Merga the USOC executive director." medals because of positive drug tests at the Pan Am Games last August. "WE MUST wipe out this danger, once and for all, and obliterate the image of the 'chemical athlete' that is starting to shape itself in the public mind. We want to put together not only our finest Olympic team in history in 1984, but one that is above reproach and that competes and trains honestly within the framework of the true Olympic flag." Edwin Moses, the world record holder in the 400-meter hurdles, said during the news conference that most athletes welcomed the event. "Drug testing is really the only solution you have to drug abuse in sports," he said. Moses represents athletes before the Task Force on Drug Control, but is not a member. He said he would accompany Miller to a meeting of the International Olympic Committee's athletic advisory group in November and would push for uniform drug testing at the national level. Miller said the task force would begin informal drug tests at random sports events later this year. The testing, with the approval of the events' sponsors, will be voluntary and no punitive action will be taken against any athletes. he said. ATHLETES WHO have positive tests for banned substances, which include steroids, testosterone, amphetamines, codeine and caffeine, will be offered medical help. Miller said. Formal testing probably will begin at Olympic trials in the various sports, he said. Any athletes who test positive in the formal phase will not make the 1844 team. However, an athlete who tests positive will have the opportunity to seek a second test and appeal to the USOC, Miller said. Injuries hit KU defense By the Kansan Staff Cornacker Rod Demerrite suffered a broken left ankle in Saturday's Iowa State game and will be out for the game. Coach Mike Gottfried said yesterday Demerrite is the second cornerback to be lost for the season. Dobbli suffered a broken wrist in the Wichita State game. Gottfried said that Jeff Brown and Jeff Colter would be the starting cornerbacks and that Bill Vecharella, who had played two plays this season, and Darren Hicks, who had yet to see action, would be the backups. "We took a beating and I'm not sure he married said. "I was a physical game." RESIDES DEMERRITTE, Gottfried said that injuries to defensive linemen Ken Davis (hand), Charles Cooper (ankle) and Rod Timmons (knee) had made them all doubtful for Saturday's Kansas State game. Defensive end Elvis Patterson (hip pointer) and offensive lineman Paul Fairchild (ankle) are also doubtful. Gottfried said that changes would be made on both the offense and defense, but he would not elaborate on what those changes might be. "It was tough losing so many people," Gottfried said. "When you only take 60 players on the road and have 60 guard up, it restricts what you can do." Yesterday, the Jayhawks went through preparation, working out preparation for the KC game. "We had a real good workout." he said. "We got some of the kinks on." JAYHAWK NOTES — Iowa State quarterback David Archer was named Big Eight Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Jayhawks. Archer completed 28 of 47 pass for 300 yards and two tandembows. Oklahoma State's Leslie O'Neal was named the conference's Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against Nebraska.

The Oilers' 13th consecutive loss came Sunday in the Astrodrome — a 26-14 setback at the hands of the Denver Broncos. Houston has not won a game since Sept. 19, 1982, the last playback beginning of the NFL players' strike. "IVE BEEN A punching bag," he said. "I've been the eye of the hurricane for 2½ years, the center of all controversy. I felt like I've had enough. You get to the point where you just say, 'who needs it.'" Biles calmly walked into his regular news conference and announced his decision. Biles said he met late Sunday with Oilers General Manager Ladd Herzeg, who told him to sleep on his idea of quitting. But a night of contemplation did not cause Biles to change his mind. and not cause mises or changes in hurt. No replacement was immediately made to the student he did not resembl ment anybody, but hoped offensive coordinator Kay Dalton and defensive coordinator Chuck Studley would be considered. Biles, 52, was elevated from defensive coordinator to head coach after owner K.S. "Bud" Adams fired popular O.A. "Bum" Phillips following the 1980 season. Phillips had led the Oliers to the AFC championship game in 1978 and 1979 and Houston made the playoffs in 1981. He then pitched a card game to the Oakland Raiders. The Oilers' coach had been under pressure from fans, who at times have booed the Oilers lustily this year, and where criticism of Biles was increasing. "In my own mind, I really haven't felt like I failed," Biles said. "I feel like I ran out of time. There's enough fault with what has happened to this team to pass around to a lot of people. I'm just one of them." BILES RECORD was 7-9 in 1981, 1-3 in 1982 and 0-6 so far in 1983. KU wins v-ball match By JANELLE MARTIN Sports Writer The KU volleyball squad got back on the winning track last night as it defeated Benedictine College in three games at Allen Field House. The Jayhawks took a commanding lead in the first game of the match, 14-2, before the Ravens from Benedictine fought back to run their score to seven. KU soon stiffed their charge, broke the service and went on to take the first game, 15-7 The second game of the match started slowly for both teams, as there were six sideouts before either team scored. KU led 1-0, but let Benedictic get ahead 3-2. The Jayhawks lead the gain at 5-4 again with the serving of junior Beth BENEDICTINE WAS forced to call a timeout with the score 11-4 in favor of the Jayhawks, but only managed one more point in the game. KU captured the second game on two straight mishandled serves, 15-5. "The number one thing is we won," coach Bob Lockwood said after the game. "We came back after our loss to Iowa State and did not let up." Despite several net violations by the Jayhawks in the third game, KU won the match. Strong serving and front-line play by seniors Leslie Loyd, Julie Johnson and Lori Erickson led KU to its victory.

"I'll be nervous up to the first pitch," said McGregor, 18-7, who goes against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander John Denny, 19-6. "All the hoopla, all the attention will make it an event before the game. "It's a thrill to be here, so it's a thrill to be starting the opener. But when the game starts, it's back to being a baseball game. I'll be concentrating pitch by pitch. Everything will be normal." Orioles catcher Rick Dempsey puts it a bit differently. "SCOTT WILL be very anxious until the game gets going, but he won't be afraid," said Dempsey. "Most of us are like that with all the attention and the introductions before the game. But when it gets going, it is like a regular Watching closer than most fans will be John McGregor, Scott's father, who made the trip from El Sagundo, Calif., for the Orioles' post season games. It was John McGregor a close friend as a Little League and still remains a close observer. "It's amazing how things change and still stay the same," said John McGregor. "Back in Little League, a lot of the pitchers wanted to throw curves. I wouldn't let them do that." The slow curve where he didn't actually turn his wrist "He thought he was doing something great, throwing a breaking ball. Actually, it was so slow it was more of a gravity drop. Now, he's back to using the same pitch to get people out in the big leagues." "I REMEMBER those games but I'll use them only for the experience of having been in a World Series," said McGregor. "It won't be on my mind any more than the loss to the White Sox last week." Baltimore took the Pittsburgh Pirates to the seventh game before losing the 1979 World Series. McGregor went the distance to win the third game but lost the seventh game to Willie Stargel's two-run home run. McGregor lost to Chicago right-hander LaMarr Hoyt in the opener of the American League playoff. But the Browns beat the Dodgers 10-9. "At the time, I couldn't have felt lower over our losing the game," said McGregor. "Now that we've gotten this far, I couldn't care less about that game." World Series family affair for Philadelphia's Denny By United Press International BALTIMORE — For Philadelphia Philies pitcher John Denny, the World Series is becoming a family affair. Denny's father, whom the pitcher has not seen for about five years, is traveling from Australia for the Phillies' championship game with the Baltimore Orioles. Other family members are coming from Arizona. Unfortunately, Denny said yesterday, only one brother will arrive in Baltimore in time to see Denny, a right-hander, start Game 1 of the Series against the Orioles' Scott McGregor. "The rest of them will come in Thursday and watch Game 4 in Philadelphia." Denny said. "It's going to take my father about 17 hours to fly to the United States. He'll go to Philadelphia with the rest of the them and then they'll all go to Philadelphia." THE TRAVEL arrangements were made Sunday through six hours of francite telephone calls by Denny and his wife, Patricia. He said his telephone call to Australia first the first time he talked with his father in five years. "I've always felt very close to my family, but for many reasons, including laziness on my part, we haven't kept in contact the way we should." Denny said. "The Series will be a lot more exciting than books about a lot of things that have happened in our lives. "My whole family is probably even more excited about the World Series than I am because of this." Denny said his mother and father divorced when he was young. His father subsequently married an Australian woman. They lived in the United States but moved to Australia a few years ago, Denny said. THE FAMILY REUNION is another chapter of what has been an extraordinary season for Denny, whom the Philies obtained from Cleveland in September of last year. Bothered by a sore shoulder all of 182, Denny joined the Phillies' renowned off-season conditioning program, worked on his delivery with pitching coach Claude Osteen during the season and on in 1983 to put his finest dues in the masters. His 19-6 record and 2.5 ERA in 1983 make him a top candidate for the Cv Young Award. "I've never had as consistent a year as I this year and there are several reasons for that." Denny said. "As I've said before, the most important thing that has helped me along is that a few years ago I became a Christian. Since then, I've been able to handle my job much better and better."

We were a family." Club president Bill Sharman said the deal was made to fill a void. "We naturally regret having to part with two players who contributed so much to the success of this franchise," said Sharman. "We realize we are losing a tremendous player in Norm Xinm and there is no question he will be missed."
