GUY GREAVETTE

INDIANAPOLIS (CP) — In 1963, Canadian
weightlifter Guy Greavette won two golds and a silver
medal at the Pan-American Games.

A few days later, officials stripped him of the medals
after tests indicated he had been using steroids.

He was also suspended for two years by the
With the suspen-
sion went Greavette’s dream of lifting in the Olympics.

The dream is alive again for the blond, soft-spoken
lifter from Burnaby.

He returned to the Pan-Am Games and picked up
two bronze medals Tuesday night in the 82.5-kilogram
cate;

gory.

“I never thought about '83 at all,” Greavette, 27, said
after his performance. “But I did think about coming here
and winning at least some medals to show I was still
around.”

Cuban Pedro Rodriguez took.all three golds Tuesday
by sweeping the snatch, clean and jerk and the overall
title with a total of 330 kilograms — short of the'mark of
340 kilograms lifted by Greavette in 1983 in Caracas.

16 DISQUALIFIED

He wasn't the only athlete pinched in Caracas.
Sixteen were disqualified — a scandal that rocked those
Games. The consequences are evident in Indianapolis,
where officials are doing the most extensive testing in the
history of a multi-sport event.

Greavette is four years older now, and a lot wiser.
He was ready to quit the sport after the suspension. But
.“it was too easy to quit. It’s better to keep with it.”
If Greavette has any regrets about the last Pan-Ams,

He bought steroids from a member of the Romanian
lifting team. With the steroids came advice about when to
stop taking the drugs so he could avoid detection.

Greavette said in an interview that when he arrived
in Caracas, he knew the testing procedures were
sophisticated and he'd likely test positive. But the rules
at that time said only winners in the overall category
would automatically be tested.

“I could have taken my gold medal in the snatch and
kept my Pan-Am record and gone home. I would have
just forfeited the clean and jerk. Nobody would have said
anything. I could have gone out there and dropped the
barbell three times. I don't know why I didn't.”

Four years later, Greavette didn't sound repentant
— just sorry he'd been caught.

Canadian lifters face tough internal testing — as
often as once a month and a possible lifetime ban if they
are caught — while the Eastern European lifting
countries are suspected of allowing their athletes to use
steroids during training.

“Canada’s the strictest in the world,” said Greavette.
“There are a few countries (as strict), but they're like us
— they don’t make a big impact on the sport.”

That will never change, members of the Canadian
team say, until the international federation gets tough
on all countries.

Greavette said he lifted lower weights Tuesday than
he did four years ago because of a sore back — not
because of the steroids he was using in 1983.

Ironically, under the Pan-Ams’ new random testing
procedures, Greavette wasn't asked to produce a urine

Satellite dishes @°
Bombers sore point

By JIM MORRIS

WINNIPEG (CP) — The Winnipeg Blue Bémbers’
attendance is up an average 660 fans after four games this
year, but general manager Cal Murphy says even more
people would pay to see the team at the stadium if they
couldn't view home: games free in local bars.

Bars using satellite dishes to pirate television signals
have long been a sore point with Murphy.

“There's no question it’s a problem,” he said Tuesday.

“Studies we've done show a 65-per-cent (attendance)
increase in 40 bars for our home games.”

The issue of scrambling television signals was raised
during a recent CFL board of governors meeting.
Commissioner Doug Mitchell said scrambling could begin
toward the end of the season.

Only games shown on the Canadian Football Network, a
collection of indpendent television stations with a contract to
show some CFL games, would be scrambled.

The Bombers drew 104,480 fans in four regular season
games this year for an average attendance of 26,120. This
compared to 101,843 fans for an average attendance of
25,460 after. four games last year.

Murphy said the team needs 28,000 fans a game to
break evén,

“We have a chance to improve,” he said. “You always
like to do better but we're not crying in the blue.”

DEFEATS LIONS

The largest crowd this season at the 32,946-seat
Winnipeg Stadium was 29,296 Saturday during a victory
over the B.C. Lions.

helped attendance. The Bombers have also played the

Ottawa Rough Riders and Calgary Stampeders at_home,

Last year the Bombers played the Saskatchewan

. Calgary, Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Ottawa in

their first four games. The best draw was 25,982 against the
Tiger-Cats.

The only sellout last year came in the second-last
regular season game against Edmonton.

‘The Bombers are using several promotions to attract
new fans. Jan and Dean, a 1960s rock and roll group, staged
aconcert before Winnipeg's pre-season game against B.C. A
crowd of 19,780 attended, compared with 21,526 for last
year's exhibition against Edmonton.

SINGERS PERFORM.

Fomer Guess Who members Burton Cummings and
Randy Bachman will perform a concert before Winnipeg's
Aug. 22 game against Saskatchewan.

Murphy admitted visions of a Bomber blowout over the
struggling Riders was one reason for the concert ploy.

“We looked at what we projected as a draw and we felt
we could boost it a little bit,” he said.

A family-directed promotion where a local food store
buys game tickets, then sells them at a reduced price has
also been successful. The end zone seats have been sold out
for all four games.

The Bombers’ shift to the Eastern Conference after the
demise of the Montreal Alouettes might also help attendance
later in the year. Winnipeg leads the East with 10 points,
one better than the Toronto Argonauts and four ahead of
Hamilton. 7

MONTREAL (CP) — Mon-
treal Canadiens coach Jean
Perron says he’s furious Lar-
ry Robinson will miss at least
the first few months of the
NHL season because of a
broken leg the veteran de-
fenceman suffered while
playing polo.

“I am so furious that I
didn't even telephone Serge
(Savard, the team's general
manager),” Perron told Le
Journal de Montreal.

“It's impossible to replace
Larry,” Perron said from St.
John’s, Nfld.

“You're not talking about a
marginal player but a star, a
player who is better than
others. Larry's value to the
team is inestimable.”

tibia bone in his right leg

nament in nearby Hudson.

Robinson is expected to be
off skates for up to three
months but the 15-year vet-
eran is convinced he will be a
member of the 1987-88 Cana-
diens.

“Tm not beaten, far from VANCOUVER (CP) — John Henry White hoists

it,” Robinson told Le Journal
from the Montreal General
Hospital. :

“In three weeks, I'll begi
exercises and therapy to
strengthen the leg.”

But Dr. ERic Leczner, the
Canadiens’ orthopedic sur-
geon, said Robinson will
remain in hospital for one
week and it will be three
months before he can skate.

Robinson has never suf-
fered a serious hockey injury.

Had Robinson accepted an
informal invitation to attend
the Team Canada training
camp for this fall's Canada
Cup, the two-time winner of
the James Norris trophy as
the league's best defenceman
wouldn't have been in Hud-
son for the polo tournament.

Perron says Robinson's
absence will hurt the Cana
diens.

“It’s not just on the ice that

still as enthusiastic and he

atmosphere in practice.

down, he knows how to pick
them up.”

himself to a sitting position in his hospital bed as he talks
about how his professional football career came to an
abrupt end.

White, a 10-year veteran with the British Columbia
Lions of the Canadian Football League, had planned to
retire at the end of this season.

Instead, a serious injury to his left knee in a game
Saturday against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, advanced
those plans.

“My career ended a few months early,” said the
81-year-old fullback. “I cameback for this final season
because the Grey Cup is going to be played here in
Vancouver and I thought I could be part of it.”

His hospital stay will be indefinite and, for the time
being, he must manoeuvre himself on his hospital bed
with the help of an overhead suspension bar.

“I remember my first game in the league,” the
Louisiana-born White said in an interview Tuesday. “It
was snowing in Calgary and I had just left 93-degree heat
(back home). I looked up at the snowflakes and wondered
what I ws getting into.”

White was injured late in the fourth quarter of
Saturday's loss to the Bombers in Winnipeg. He cleats
locked into the turf as he tried to block for quarterback
Greg Vavra and he tore some ligaments in the knee.

But the durable five-foot-nine, 190-pounder missed
only five of 143 games.

“John Henry is the consummate team player,” said
head coach Don Matthews of a man he has often
described as the best blocking back in the CFL. “He spent
a career trying to make other players look good.”

White joined the Lions as a free-agent in mid-season
1978 after a four-year stay at Louisiana Tech and a tryout

with the Kansas cia Chiefs in the NFL.
