An expert panel of sportswriters and athletes is scheduled to discuss illegal doping tomorrow night at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, located west of the Lied Center.
bill James, baseball writer and statistician; John Hadl, former Kansas and NFL football player; and Bill Althaus, sports journalist, are scheduled to discuss steroids and sports at 7:30 tomorrow night.
"This panel should be a great way to air out these issues in our community, one of the most sophisticated sports towns in the nation," said Jonathan Earle, associate director of the Dole Institute.
