Washburn discloses drug use
United Press International
OAKLAND, Calif. — Chris Washburn, the Golden State Warrior's top draft pick in 1986, will enter a drug abuse treatment center, a team spokesman announced yesterday.
Washburn disclosed his drug use under conditions of the National Basketball Association collective bargaining agreement, the spokesman said, adding that he would be required to work a couple of weeks' he would spend being treated at the ASAP Treatment Center in Van Nuys, Calif.
The 6-foot-10 forward from North Carolina State will be eligible to rejoin the team without suspension after his release from the center, where he also will continue to be treated for a kidney ailment.
If Washburn's drug abuse had been detected before he came forward on his own, he would have been suspended for a minimum of two years. Houston Rocket guards Mitchell Wiggs and Lewis Lloyd last week received suspension when they tested positive for cocaine.
Since this is the first time Washburn has asked for help, he will be paid during his rehabilitation. If he requires a second trip to the clinic, he will not be paid. If the problems occur a third time, he will be suspended from the league.
"Chris is a fine person and an exceptional athlete and we look forward to his return to the Warriors," said Dan Finnane, the Golden State Warriors president. "Meanwhile, he will have the support of all of us in the Warriors organization."
Washburn was dismissed from the North Carolina State squad his freshman year after seven games, accused of stealing a stereo.
He returned to the Wolfpack his sophomore year and was named to he All-Atlantic Coast Conference second team after leading the team in scoring, 17.6 points a game, rebounding, 6.7 a game and blocked shots, 30.
After his sophomore year, Washburn declared hardship and entered the NBA draft. He was taken third overall, behind North Carolina's Brad Daughtery and Maryland's Len Bias, who died days later of cocaine intoxication.
Washburn started slowly with Golden State this season, and fell into disfavor with coach George Karl. Washburn was fired for being late to practice on numerous occasions, and averaged just 3.5 points in 27 games.
Recently, the Warriors had asked University of California sociologist Harry Edwards to work with Washburn in an effort to help the rookie mature.

"I should have had enough sense to cut back on my schedule in 1980," Nicklaus said, referring to a year in which he won both the U.S. Open Championship and PGA tournament. "I think every athlete wants to go
When pressed as to what he meant by, "going out on top," Niklaus said. "Well, I not retiring. I'm only semi-retiring. I don't expect to be competitive all the time, but I think I can be now and then."
"There will be times I will play well," he said.
"Maybe one of those times will be at Augusta this year or at Olympic (site of the U.S. Open) or Muirfield (site of the British Open)."
Nicklaus played poorly early in 1986, but shot a 6-under 30 on the final nine holes at the Augusta National to come from behind and win the Masters.
Nicklaus said he would play about 10 tournaments this year, including the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He plans to play in four championships, at Doral, his own Memorial Tournament and at the Westchester Classic.
"I'll probably play the Tournament Players Championship, but I'm not sure yet," Nicklaus said. "Technically, I guess I'm supposed to play the TPC because I won the Masters last year."

Court jails '72 Heisman winner
SAN DIEGO — Johnny Rodgers, the 1972 Heisman trophy winner from Nebraska, yesterday was convicted on two felony counts and sent immediately to jail on a contempt charge for comments he made during his trial.
A San Diego Superior Court jury found the former Cornhusker guilty of assault with a firearm and being an ex-felon in possession of a gun. The latter charge was from Todgers in Lancaster County Court as a station holder.
The jury acquitted Rodgers on a third charge, exhibiting a firearm in a threatening manner.
Sentencing on the two felony counts was scheduled for Feb. 25. However, Rodgers was jailed on a contempt charge for remarks he made in the presence of the jury before it began deliberations.
Rodgers, 35, played professional football in Canada and San Diego before retiring in 1979.
He was arrested Oct. 5, 1985, at his National City home after a Cox Cable technician said Rodgers pointed a .22-caliber pistol at him as he tried to disconnect Rodgers' cable service for non-payment. The technician, Jaime Roxas, testified Rogers threatened to shoot him down from a utility pole.
Rodgers had been free on his own recognizance following his arrest.
Rodgers acted as his own attorney during the two-day trial and through nearly four days of pretrial motions. He was assisted by court-apointed lawyer Michael Berg.
Superior Court Judge Jack Levitt cited Rodgers three times for contempt of court Tuesday for what the judge called a "flipper and contemptuous" attitude. He later dismissed the third count.
Westerday, Levitt ordered Rodgers to serve 120
bells on jail on one contempt and fined him $500
on the bank.
Rodgers, who has received numerous awards for community service in San Diego, sat quietly with his head on the counsel table as the verdict was read.

Allen became the second AFC runningback to withdraw from the game.
