SPORTS The University Daily KANSAN August 24.1983 Page 16 Pan Am Games drug scandal hits U.S. athletes By United Press International CARACAS, Venezuela — American athletes were engulfed in the tidal wave of the biggest drug scandal in international amateur athletic history yesterday, as weightlifter Jeff Michels was knocked down by medals and 13 members of the track and field team withdrew from the Pan American Games. In addition to Michels, ODEFA, the governing body of the Pan Am Games, announced that three more Latin American weightlifters had to return their medals because they had failed drug tests. The three are Jacques Oliger of Chine, Enrique Montiel of Nicaragua and Jose Adams Paz of Ecuador. Eleven athletes now have been either reprimanded or stripped of medals at the Pan American Games. In all, 21 medals, including 10 gold, have been disallowed. "THIS IS THE LARGEST expulsion of athletes in the history of international competition for drug abuse," said William Simon, president of the U.S. Olympic Committee. The return to the United States of the unlucky 13, all from the men's team, came before yesterday's start of the track and field competition and depleted Curt Ransford with thrower Curt Ransford of Spokane, Wash., was left from the eight members originally entered in weight events. The latest development occurred less than 24 nours after four weightlifters, including Olympic champion Daniel Nunez of Cuba, were stripped of their gold medals, and three other weightlifters received reprimands from ODEPA for using illicit, muscle-building drugs. THEO ATLETHES returning to the United States are: Mark Patrick, Centralia, Ill., 400-meter hurdles; Randy Williams, Los Angeles, and Brady Crain, New York, both 4 x 100 relay; Jesse Stuart, Hitchcock, Texas, and Ian Pyke, College Park, Md., shot put; Paul Bishop, South Gate, Calif, and Greg McSeveney, Norwalk, Calif.; discus, Dave McKenzie, Fairfield, Calif.; and Chris Cox, Duncan Atwood, Seattle, javelin; Mike Martow, Los Angeles, triple jump; Gary Bastien, Auburn, Ala., decathlon; and Mike Tully, Los Angeles, pole vault. Evie Dennis, chief of mission of the USOC, said Williams returned home because he learned Monday that his wife had given birth. "I found out last night that my wife delivered a baby and I requested to come home," said Williams at the Caracas airport before boarding a plane for the United States. "I took the first opportunity I could, so here I am. I can't speak for the rest of the athletes." THE USOC TERMED the pullout of the Americans a "personal choice" and insisted their decision was not to be interpreted as a violation of rules governing the use of drugs in amateur athletics. "It would be an injustice to have a blanket indictment against these athletes," said F. Don Miller, executive secretary of the USOC. "Many might have gone home for other reasons. They might have personal reasons, family reasons or they might be sick." However, Roy Bergman, chief physician of the U.S. team at the Pan Am Games, intimated that Monday's drug crackdown might have influenced the athletes' decision to leave. “Our advance people toured the lab and notified me of the type of equipment and the sophistication that was present,” he said. “We notified our athletes of the situation before the games started, when these sanctions were lifted, reinforced the fact that our information was correct.” Marlow, also reached at the airport, said he was returning home because of an "emer- "We knew about the situation about the testing, that it was a strict testing for whatever the case may be—alcohol, coffee, whatever." he said. "I'm ready to compete but I had an emergency at home, so that's my reason." THE DRUG TESTING at the Pan Am Games is being done with equipment considered the most sophisticated of its kind. The equipment was imported from Cologne, West Germany, and will be similar to the apparatus used at next summer's Olympics in Los Angeles. The weightlifters were sanctioned for using anabolic steroids and Bergman said caffeine and testosterone, a male hormone, have been added this year to the list of about 100 banned drugs. According to team physicians from the United States and Canada, steroids can be taken either by pill or injection. Most athletes who use steroids take pills, but some have taken injections, they said. Although steroids cannot be sold without prescription in the here, they can be bought at drugstores without prescription in Europe. "I think this is an evil that must be stamped out," Simon said. "It's about time we adopted a get-tough attitude. It's a tragedy in the face of adversity." He athletics team warned to the athletes that the game is over. Former KU, Big Eight record-holder will be Packers' punter this season Former All-Big Eight punter Bucky Scribbler will be the Green Bay Packers' punter in the upcoming LCS season. Scrubber, a Schutt security instructor the job after Packers cut three-year veteran Ray Stachowicz. "I feel a lot better," Scribner told the Green Bay Chronicle yesterday. "I can relax and think about kicking again." Scribner, the club's 11th round draft pick, averaged 46.1 yards per kick during the regular season. Stachowicz averaged 49 yards a kick, but Scribner had a better net average — yards minus returns. "It was a good competition," Packer special team coach Dick Rebbein said. "I think Bucky consistently had better hang time for our team to get down field. "Net average is the most important statistic. Another factor was Bucky kicked well a couple of times out of the end zone and that's important." Serribner said he was disappointed about his training camp performance. "I was really feeling bad," Scr伯说. "I I would have looked so much better, I would have looked so much better." scratcher averaged more than 50 yards per kick in last weekend's game against Philadelphia. However, he had a low snap scoot by him. "I thought they might consider it," Scribner said of the mistake, "but Coach Starr told me not to worry about it and to get down on it like a third baseman next time." The competition against Stachowicz was the first of Scribner's career. "When I signed in college, I was their punter," Scribner said. "I guess they wanted some new blood. My goal is to help the Packer kicking game as much as I can." Scribner set the KU single-season punting record last season with an average of 45.8 yards a punt. Malavasi dropped from Jayhawk football roster Bill Malavasi, senior linebacker from Huntington Beach, Calif., has been dismissed from the KU football team, head coach Mike Gottfried said yesterday. Gotftried declined to comment on the situation, but sources close to Malavasi said that he quit the team because of lack of playing time and is considering transferring to another university. Malavasi had been running with the second and third teams through fall workouts. Malavasi could not be reached for comment last night.

Amos Otis doubled in George Brett, who had singled, to give Kansas City the lead for good at 2-1 in the fourth innning. White then lined a double past third base to knock in Otis and the Royals made it 4-1 when White scored on Leon Roberts's single. Kansas City put the game away with six more runs in the run. Otis walked to lead off and chase Chicago starter Jerry Kooisman, 94. But reckless Dick Tidrow did not refrain as White greeted him with a line drive into the first base of the left-field bacleers for his eighth homer. ROBERTS WALKED and Don Slamley singled before Buch Davis hit a ground-rule double for his first major league hit. Guy Hoffman replaced Tidow, but he was greeted by U.L. Washington's RH single. John Wathan loaded the bases with a walk before Brett Diggs hit Dee Delp. Dick McKean singled in another run and Otis chased Hoffman with his 2,000th major league hit.
