--the quantity was acceptable and prescribed the steroid without the player's knowledge. Hammond said.
MIAMI — Ignacio Truyol of Spain became the first tennis player to be suspended for drug use yesterday, testing positive for an anabolic steroid and a stimulant.
Pro tennis player suspended

Truylol, ranked No. 127, denies misusing or abusing the banned substances, which he said were prescribed by a Spanish physician to treat a back injury. The drugs were nandrolone, an anabolic steroid, and penoline, a stimulant.
"The player feels he has been seriously wronged," said Steven Hammond, a New York attorney representing Truyol.
The 23-year-old Spaniard, who violated ATP Tour rules established in 1990, will be banned from all tournaments for one year. He will forfeit $39,985 in prize money, as well as ranking points earned since July 1996, when he tested positive at a Challenger Circuit tournament in Ostede, Belgium.
Truyl unsuccessfully appealed the results before the punishment was announced. His suspension takes effect immediately.
Hammond said the anabolic steroid was administered once in a minimal dosage of 25 milligrams — not enough to enhance performance. Truyl's physician believed
That doesn't matter, said Peter Alfano, vice president of communications for the ATP Tour.
Pemoline was one of 15 substances in an oral medication prescribed by the doctor, who was unaware that it contained a banned substance. Hammond said.
"The player was found in violation of the anti-doping rule." Alfano said. "It's the responsibility of every player on the tour to know about the program and the substances that are on the banned list."
The ATP's anti-drug program was
implemented when the tour started in 1990. Players are tested at tournaments without advance notice, and they're also tested randomly between events.
Mark Miles, chief executive officer of the ATP Tour, said "Professional tennis cannot tolerate the use of banned substances that may compromise the integrity of competition."
In 1995, Mats Wilander of Sweden, formerly ranked No. 1 in the world, and Richard Krajicek of the Netherlands allegedly tested positive for cocaine at the French Open. They denied the allegations and appealed. The case still is unresolved.
Kansas City Royals ink the 'Wild Thing'
Relief pitcher invited to spring training after signing contract
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals signed left-handed reliever Mitch Williams to a minor-league contract and have invited him to spring training camp.
The Royals made the announcement vesterdav.
Williams, 32, last pitched in the major leagues in 1956 with the California Angels, when he posted a 1-2 record and a 6.75 ERA in 20 contests.
Williams was a hero in Philadelphia when, as the Phillies' closer, he helped them to an unexpected National League pennant in 1993 by recording 43 saves. His season-high placed him fourth in the National League. He had 102 total saves with the Phillies.
He spent nearly 10 seasons in the majors, finishing with a career mark of 45-57, 192 saves and a 3.56 ERA in 612 games. He pitched for the Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros before joining the Angels.
He earned the nickname "Wild Thing" for his nerve-wracking habit of pitching into, then out of, trouble.
Williams had two wins and a pair of saves in the National League Championship Series in 1983.
But then he surrendered the most infamous home run in Phillies history — Joe Carter's dramatic, ninth-inning, game-winning homer in Game 6 that won the 1993 World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Williams was vilified by fans, some of whom made death threats. The reaction was so strong that the team traded Williams to Houston.
Williams, of Hico, Texas, signed a 1996 minor league contract with the Phillies, but was released Aug. 19.
