Two women show increased levels of testosterone
INDIANAPOLIS — America's greatest woman distance runner was caught yesterday in a struggle of international track politics that threatened to block her bid for another world-championship appearance.
Runners allegedly abuse drugs
Track and field's world body said it had notified USA Track & Field that Mary Slaney and Sandra Farmer-Patrick were barred from the national championships, which begin today, because of alleged drug use.
The Associated Press
USATF, the sport's domestic organization, said it was notified only regarding Sanley and was told
she could not compete nationally or internationally. USATF said it would buck the decision by the International Amateur Athletic Federation and called Slaney an "eligible athlete."
TRACK
Farmer-Patrick said she previously had been suspended by USATF, although there has been no official announcement.
Adding to the dispute, the IAAF said it could suspend any athlete who chooses to compete against either runner.
Slaney, whose first race in the 1,500 meters would be a semifinal heat Friday, still was at home in Eugene, Ore., when USATF released its statement contrary to IAAF guidelines.
sity Track and Field Stadium. The meet will pick the U.S. team for the world championships in Greece in August.
Farmer-Patrick is a two-time Olympian and the former American record-holder in the women's 400-meter hurdles.
Slaney and Farmer-Patrick have proclaimed their innocence and said they wanted to run at the USA Track and Field Championships.
After consulting with her lawyers, she said yesterday. "They couldn't accept my entry because I am suspended. We are dealing with the same issue. It's not fair. It's inconsistent. How could her test be valid when mine isn't? I have medical documentation to show why my (testosterone) ratio was off. They haven't found any synthetic testosterone."
Slaney Monday declared her intention to compete during the five-day meet at Indiana Univer-
"I am outraged over this," said Farmer-Patrick, whose first trial heat is scheduled for tomorrow. "It is frustrating. They have to be consistent. I would love to know their reasoning. They haven't given me any yet. All the documentation in Sanley's case is the same as in my case. ... I would need an injunction to run."
FIFA wants fences removed from stadiums
PARIS — Saying fans are "spectators, not animals," one of soccer's top executives wants fences removed for the World Cup. But three of the 12 stadiums may indeed have fences for next year's showcase in France.
The IAAF first announced suspensions for Slanev and Farmer-Patrick on May 31.
The Associated Press
"This is a matter for the government and the local authorities," Federation Internationale de Football Association, FIFA, general secretary Sepp Blatter said
yesterday. 'They are the ones who are in charge of safety.
"I am very optimistic that we can talk to the mayors of the cities involved and perhaps the fences will come down." Blatter said.
"We provide the players, not the fans. But let's see if practical and humane solutions can be found," he said. "We have to think of the image of football. Fans are spectators, not animals."
He said FIFA's position on stadium fencing stems from the mayhem in Guatemala last October in which more than 80 people died and some 150 were injured when they were crushed against a fence.
SOCCER
Of the dozen stadiums used for the World Cup, those at Lyon, Montpellier and Paris still have fences.
Michel Platini, a one-time standout French player who now is copresident of the organizing committee, said that about half the tickets have been sold and some 800.000 will go abroad.

Woods' gain is Norman's loss
BETHESAD, Md. — Fame is a funny thing. Players work hard to get it, work as hard to dodge the distractions fame brings and then miss it more than they ever thought they would when it vanishes.
The draw for the 33-day competition will be on Dec. 4 at the Marseille stadium.
The Associated Press
Watch them this week in the U.S.Open as they struggle to deflect, reflect and absorb the spotlight.
Ask Tiger Woods. Ask Greg Norman.
For more than a decade, Norman was the glamour guy of golf, the
Tiger Woods
one all the fans wanted to follow, all the reporters wanted to interview and all the companies wanted to have endorse their products
Now it is Woods.
Norman's fall from center stage might have hurt his ego more than his loss to Nick Faldo at the Masters Tournament last year.
Greg Norman
Even after
blowing a six-stroke lead in the final round, Norman still was the top dog. He received more attention for losing at Augusta than Faldo received for winning his sixth major championship.
Then along came Woods. Norman says he could not be

happier about Woods' emergence and now he can concentrate on golf.
"I think it's great," Norman said yesterday. "I love it. I really do... It's always nice to have someone else out there just to take a little bit off your shoulders."
Perhaps that is true. Norman has played little this year and missed the cut at the Masters. But he played strongly the last two weeks and could benefit from all the attention on Woods.
For the first time in a while the dominant storyline in Bethesda will not be if Norman finally will win a major championship in the United States.
"Believe me," Norman said,
"I'm not one bit jealous of Tiger
Woods. I'm not envious of Tiger
Woods. I welcome him out
here."
There is a ring of truth in those words, but there also is a note of longing in Norman's actions. Maybe he misses the spotlight more than he admits.
On Monday, Norman decided to visit an old friend in Washington — President Clinton.
And all media were informed. In fact, Norman called the news conference.
Woods, meanwhile, had a news conference during which he answered essentially the same questions he has answered at each of the 10 previous sessions this year.
GR Gordon-Ross / KANSAN
KU assistant women's tennis coach Stan Cocke takes advantage of a break in the action to give some advice to Noah Slavstky. Slavstky, from Dodge City, is here for a six-day tennis camp, which runs from Sunday to Friday, with three more planned for the remaining weeks in June.
