Johnson gets permanant ban
from Canadian Olympic team
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Ben
Johnson’s sentence was life, impris
oned with the memory of ill-gotten
gold and 10 seconds that rocked the
Summer Games.
“This will change the history of
the Olympics,” American hurdler
Edwin Moses said. “This will change
a lot of people’s lives.”
Caught cheating with one of the
most dangerous of all anabolic ster
oids, stanozolol, Johnson was kicked
off the Canadian team for life, and
his gold medal in the world’s fastest
100-meter dash was given to arch ri
val Carl Lewis.
So shocked were Olympic officials
and athletes that when Greg Louga-
nis made history of a more heroic
sort — an unprecedented four div
ing medals in two Olympics — it was
only a sidelight to a grim day in
Seoul.
“Our national hero is not a hero
anymore,” said Johnson’s Canadian
teammate, fencer Stephen Angers.
And with that, the greatest
sprinter in history handed his medal
to a Canadian Olympic official,
packed his bags and slipped out of
the country Tuesday morning.
Lewis appeared at a church serv
ice for Olympic athletes Tuesday
night and spoke briefly, repeating a
story he first told when he lost to
Johnson.
“My mother had a dream the
other night about my father, who
said everything would be all right,”
Lewis said. “And today, it was.”
Earlier in the day he said: “I feel
sorry for Ben and for the Canadian
people. Ben is a great competitor
and I hope he is able to straighten
out his life and return to competi
tion.”
After 11 days of Games, the med
als count looked like this: Soviet
Union 80 total, 35 gold; East Ger
many 71 medals, 29 gold; United
States 51 total, 17 gold; and Canada
3 total, no gold.
The boxers assured America’s
team of at least a few more medals,
advancing three into the semifinals
— where they will get at least a
bronze. And the U.S. women’s bas
ketball team moved into the gold-
medal game Thursday against Yu
goslavia by beating the Soviet Union
102-88.
Meanwhile, two U.S.' gold medal
winning swimmers and a friend
were questioned by police for six
hours Tuesday for removing a mar
ble lion’s head from a downtown ho
tel last Saturday. The swimmers,
Troy Dalbey and Doug Gjertsen,
were released, and police turned the
matter over to the public prosecutor,
who will decide whether to press
charges.
Alexander de Merode, chairman
of the International Olympic Com
mittee’s medical commission, called
Johnson’s Olympic ban a sad day,
but added: “Top level athletes . . .
are models for our youth. We can
have no exceptions, whatsoever. We
want clarity, and we want justice.”
Johnson arrives home
with no glory or medal
TORONTO (AP) — Sprinter
Ben Johnson, stripped of his
Olympic gold medal after testing
positive for an illegal drug, ar
rived home Tuesday under cover,
instead of exulting to what should
have been a hero’s welcome.
Johnson, winner of the 100-
meter dash in world record time,
sat near the cockpit behind a cur
tain on a flight from New York to
Toronto, his adopted Canadian
hometown. He said nothing to re
porters on the plane and then
dodged hundreds of onlookers
and TV cameras at Toronto In
ternational Airport.
His mother, Gloria, who was
given the gold medal by her
proud son before it was surren
dered in disgrace, gave an em
phatic “No” and flashed a look of
anger on her dimpled faced when
asked if her son took steroids.
She and her daughter, Jeanne,
accompanied Johnson on the 1
hour, 40 minute llight from New
York and during the 14-hour
flight from Seoul.
Dr. George Astaphan, John
son’s personal physician, insisted
the sprinter had not taken the
muscle-building anabolic steroid
stan/olol but could not explain
how Johnson had tested positive.
“I never gave him any. He
never told me he took any. He
would have told us,” Astaphan
said. “Nobody knows what hap
pened. We really have no idea.’ 1
Johnson’s agent, Larry Heide-
brecht, also denied Johnson used
stan/olol, despite claims by Olym
pic officials the test results were
indisputable. Use of stanzololcan
lead to liver damage and cancer.
1 here were no cheers and no
triumph for Johnson, whose gilt-
edged moment of a lifetime was
transf ormed into fool’s gold.
He looked stunned as he
climbed out of a police car at b-
Guardia Airport in New York,
slowly ascending a set of metal
steps to avoid crowds inside the
terminal. In Toronto, Johnson
sought sanctuary inside the cock
pit until the plane was empty,He
departed in secrecy.
Soviets beat Americans again 82-76
in long-awaited rematch of ’72 final
*1
J
lian
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) —There was no
controversy this time, and once again there was
no U.S. victory.
In their First matchup since the infamous Fin
ish in Munich 16 years ago, the Soviet Union beat
the United States 82-76 Wednesday to advance to
the gold medal game of the Olympic men’s bas
ketball tournament.
The Americans, whose only other Olympic
loss was to the Soviets in the Munich gold-medal
game, will play for the bronze in Seoul.
In 1972, the losing U.S. players refused to ac
cept their silver medals, claiming they were
cheated when the Soviets scored the winning bas
ket after twice getting the clock reset to the Final
three seconds.
This time, much to their dismay, their was no
doubt about the defeat. Danny Manning, the No.
1 pick in last spring’s NBA draft, did not score,
and the U.S. play-making could produce just
four assists.
The U.S. team did get within three with three
seconds to go, but a free throw one second later
left the Soviets exchanging high Fives and the
Americans holding their heads in their hands.
At the end, U.S. coach John Thompson shook
hands with all the Soviet winners, while the U.S.
players walked off the court in shock and discon-
solation.
The Soviets dictated the tempo of the game,
held Danny Manning to no points and never al
lowed the U.S. team’s pressure defense to take
control.
The Soviets will face the winner of Wednes
day’s Yugoslavia-Australia semifinal for the gold
medal Friday. They loss to the Yugoslavs in the
first round but have won six straight since then.
The United States, now 85-2 in Olympic bas
ketball and 6-1 this year, will face the Yugoslavia-
Australia loser for the bronze medal Thursday.
The United States, cold outside and ineffective
inside, led just twice, the last time 4-3.
The Americans hit just 27 of 61, while the So
viets were 26 of 59.
David Robinson led the U.S. scoring with 19
points and 12 rebounds, while Dan Majerle and
Charles E. Smith were the only other Americans
in double figures with 15 and 1 1.
Arvidas Sabonis, a first-round draft pick of the
NBA Portland Trail Blazers, had 13 points and
13 rebounds for the Soviets. Rimas Kourtinaitis
had 28 points for the Soviets.
The Americans managed one brief flurry and
got to 59-57 with 10:15 left.
The Soviets then went on a 6-0 run and the
United States could get no closer than three
points the rest of the way.
The Soviets held a 51-37 lead with 18:13 re
maining. The U.S. team closed within 2, with a
20-8 run sparked by forward J.R. Reid, who had
six points in the spurt and four key rebounds.
The Americans didn’t score for 3:02 after that,
and the Soviets converted six straight freedirw
at one point to take a 67-58 lead \vith6:29rc
maining. After that, the United States was neve
able to score on more than two consecutive p
sessions until the final minute.
The U.S. team managed to get within thet
points twice in the last minute and a half.
Majerle made the first of two free throwsai
rebounded his own miss on the second to makei:
77-74 with 1:21 left.

Kourtinaitis beat the U.S. press with an east
layup 14 seconds later and Willie Andersoni
steal at midcourt and dunk with 22 secondsleli
made it 79-76, but the Soviets took possessionof
the ball rather than shoot ftee throws and iht
United States could not capitalize on that
ence in international rules.
The U.S. team looked like itself only onceia
the opening 20 minutes, a one-minute bunt
when Robinson seemed to assert himself.
He made three f ree throws, scored on a
shot over Sabonis and then stole an inbounds
pass that resulted in a three-point play by Majerle
that tied the game 27-27 with 7:47 left in thebal ove
The Soviets then pulled away to a 47-37Ml

ished with 19 points, and Kourtinaitis hit froi

game underneath, scoring on layups and con
verting rebounds.
Credit for division title
goes to LA deal-maker
SAN DIEGO (AP) — As the
shouts of joy and spray of cham
pagne reached a crescendo, Los An
geles manager Tommy Lasorda
wrapped an arm around the man
who he says returned the Dodgers to
the top of their division.
“This guy here deserves the
credit,” Lasorda said of Fred Claire,
the Dodgers executive vice president
of player personnel. “He wasn’t
afraid to go out and sign the players
we needed. He wasn’t afraid to
spend the money. This is a tremen
dous organizational victory.”
Claire, whose executive duties ex
panded to include personnel deci
sions in April 1987 after the forced
resignation of A1 Campanis, re
shaped the Dodgers through the
free agent market and trades after
losing seasons in 1986 and 1987.
The first of his many moves was
the signing of free agent Mickey
Hatcher, who was released last year
by the Minnesota Twins.
“I could kiss Fred Claire,” said
Hatcher, who will be in his first play
off series after nine years in the big
leagues. He delivered the eighth-in-
rjing single Monday night that pro
duced the winning run in Los An
geles’ 3-2 victory over the San Diego
Padres.
“Mickey Hatcher’s spirit is what
this team is all about,” Claire said.
“It’s the team before the individual,
and that’s what Mickey Hatcher is all
about ... I was just so happy to see
Mickey get the game-winning hit be
cause the first deal that I was ever in
volved with was the signing of
Mickey Hatcher. That was a special
satisfaction for me.”
The victory allowed the Dodgers
to clinch their fourth NL West
crown in eight years. They will meet
the New York Mets, who won 10 of
their 11 meetings with Los Angeles
this year, in the NL playoffs starting
Oct. 4 at Dodgers Stadium.
For Claire, the acquisition of
Hatcher was a beginning. Entering
the 1988 season, the Dodgers
changed seven of their eight starting
positions and three-fifths of their
starting pitching rotation.
He signed free agent outfielder
Kirk Gibson, who became the team’s
inspirational leader through his
pugnacious style while hitting .290
with 25 homers.
