Scientists slam pussy-footing on drugs
DALLAS. May 30: Sports scientists say the Olympic movement and major corporate
uctant to take a tough stand on dreig tests for athletes, reports
Panelists at the annual meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine •aid urine testing for banned substances is inadequate and efforts to strengthen the test >ng meet with powerful rests
Money is the key said Kenneth Forsythe, exercise
He said television rights to the Winter Olympics were sold for fess then dlrs 1 millton tn 1968. BNC paid dlrs 401 mH lion to the IOC for the rights on this Summer s Games
"And these are only, the fee* Forsythe said during a symposium The sponsorship fees also account for extra hundreds of millton. •f doSv. all paid to an inter national agency that to ar MvulsUi to no one "
‘Now. given this marvellous
of political economic •neentlve, to tt any wonder
that the issue surrounding drugs tn sports to considered merely a nuisance?"
He and others suggested random, unannounced tests for anabolic steroids during training and blood doping checks during competition
An athlete's urine may be tested after Olympics compe atlon for hundreds of banned or restricted substances There is no blood testing
Anecdotal evidence from Europe and the United Slates •uggests long-distance run ners, cyclists, Nordic skiers and triathletes may be blood doping with recombinant ery thropoletln. according to the ACSM
The anti-anaemia drug stimulates the body's produc lion of red blood cells, thereby improving athletes ability to transport oxygen and better their performance
Howc»ci. changes in drug testing are stow because of negative publicity generated when an elite endurance or power athlete to caught cheat Ing with chemicals, Kid Dr Gary Wadler of Cornell University Medical College
With huge contracts In volvrd in internal tonal sport tag events. Wadler said "One could cynically lay It s In their
best interests for corporate America, for the corporate world, to say. Hey. we don t really want to know
A documentary by Forsythe on drug testing for ABC lelcvl sion years ago was met by re slstance by network execu lives.
"Sponsors aren t really crazy about the Idea of discussing the subject either," he said They spent a quadrillion dol tars to get the rights for these things. And why would the IOC want to tamper with a system that has given them lifelong sinecure?"
Terry Todd, a former na tlonal weightlifting champion and professor of kinesiology at the University of Texas, agreed
A consultant for CBS at the Winter Games in Albertville. France, this year. Todd helped produced features on sports medicine, training and drugs
A five minute analysis of drug testing narrated by ^urtey Safer was one advance
The piece was crttteal of the drug testing In the wnw that It simply pointed out that people are beating the drug fests right and left, said Todd
"It certainly was not the kind of piece that tended to make athletes at the highest levels look heroic." he said Thal, however, is the agenda of the big time media. They want to produce heroes They want heroic Images. That, what makes the turnstiles spin."
Peter Snell, a former mid die distance runner and Olympic gold medallist tn the 196Os. said without random tests during training, athletes simply know when to quit using drugs so their systems can purge the drugs before competition.
"We Just don't know who's really good or who has the best pharmacist.' said Snell
