South Carolina college coaches, athletes deal with steroid issuesCOLUMBIA, South Carolina - Four-time world champion Allen Johnson has felt the questioning stares from competitors each time he cleared a hurdle and crossed a finish line in blistering times - was he doping?
Johnson chuckles. America's best in the 110-meter hurdles - and perhaps the country's most unassuming track star - knew if others thought he won on performance-enhancing drugs, "that tells me they didn't think they could beat me."
Throughout his stellar career, which includes gold at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Johnson has depended on hard work and raw speed to pull him to the top. He has no time for cheats and is glad to see the spotlight cast on those who break the rules.
A federal grand jury in San Francisco is reportedly probing drug use by some of the country's top athletes as well as possible wrongdoing by a Bay Area lab. Tim Montgomery of Gaffney, the world record holder at 100 meters, and sprinter Chryste Gaines, a 1996 Olympic gold winner and recent guest at South Carolina's track banquet last month, went before the panel last week.
Johnson, 32, is a volunteer assistant coach at South Carolina, training for future championships but also guiding younger athletes torn at times about how best to improve. The more athletes are exposed as dopers and face the consequences, the more young athletes are encouraged to stay away from quick fixes, Johnson says.
"Even when you suspect some athletes are doing something, you can't lower yourself to their level and cheat," Johnson said. "I know myself, I would rather lose than cheat."
Curtis Frye, the head coach in South Carolina and a U.S. Olympic team assistant for next year's Athens Games, says Johnson's view is fairly consistent among college coaches. Regular and random drug testing by the NCAA and the USA Track and Field (USATF) make it hard to get away with something you shouldn't.
Recent headlines make that difficult to swallow. Much focus is on the newly discovered steroid THG, or tetrahydrogestrinone. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency says THG was at the center of a conspiracy involving chemists, athletes and coaches.
"There are a lot of coaches, unfortunately, that always look to grab an edge," said Melissa Morrison, a bronze medalist in the 100-meter hurdles at Sydney in 2000.
Winthrop track coach Ben Paxton says doping is a regular topic on bus trips with his team. His athletes want to know who he thinks might be using and how they can combat it. They also work to ignore the perception of some students, faculty and administrators on campus that track and field isn't a clean sport.
"It gets frustrating for them at times," said Paxton, in his 11th year with the Eagles. "No matter how hard they work, it destroys the integrity of their sport."
Paxton serves on NCAA track and field committees and says the sport is the second-largest, participation wise, behind college football. Only a small, small percentage test positive for banned substances, he said. "Drugs don't run our sport," Paxton said.
Andrew Allden, head track coach at Coastal Carolina, will serve as an U.S. men's team assistant at the World Indoor Championships in Budapest, Hungary next year. There are several reasons, he said, such scandals don't trickle down to college. One of the biggest is cost. Most college athletes can't pay for regular doses of a steroid that might improve performance. "I think alcohol abuse is more a concern on college campuses," Allden said.
All universities have programs where athletes are reminded the harm drugs can bring. Having strong leaders like Frye from South Carolina help, says Gamecocks sprinter Demetria Washington. "No matter where you go, it's out there," said Washington, part of 2002 NCAA South Carolina championship team. "We know we don't have to get involved with it to succeed."
Frye wants all track and field dopers caught and punished. He also wants people to stop singling out his sport and ignoring abuses elsewhere.
"I want football players to quit running 4.1 40s and nobody saying nothing and baseball players hitting - averaging - 50 home runs where it had never happened before. People throwing the baseball 95 mph by the dozen. Call it even," Frye said. Uncover "all the dirty athletes or don't just point out some."
Johnson and the coaches agree - in the end, it's a moral decision for athletes to stay clean.
"You have to look inside yourself and realize that, 'OK, I can do it the right way if I train hard,'" said Johnson, training for the 2004 Olympics. "It's not worth it to put yourself, your family and friends through that embarrassment."
