The chief obstacle to the sprin- ter’s career — the federal gover- nment — has no business in the boardrooms of sport, says the report commissioned ‘after John- DUBIN INQUIRY son lost an Olympic gold medal to drugs. Ottawa banned Johnson for life from competing for his adopted country when he tested positive for anabolic steroids at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. But Athletics Canada — for- merly the Canadian Track and Field Association — says it will reinstate its No. 1 star when his BEN JOHNSON two-year suspension expires in September. And that, says commissioner Charles Dubin, is its perogative. Dubin’s 638-page report was released Tuesday without fanfare, eight months after the $3-million inquiry concluded its hearings and a week after it was submitted to Sport Minister Marcel Danis. Danis — who took the post in February — said the government would respond to the report’s 70 recommendations by fall “It is not appropriate for the government to decide who is eligible to compete,’’ writes Dubin. ‘‘That should be the fun- ction of the sport’s governing body.”” Ontario's chief justice pulls no punches in his detailed assessment, blaming the Seoul scandal on coaches, doctors, Athletics Canada, the Olympic movement and the International Amateur Athletics Federation, which Dubin said appears to have ignored serious allegations of drug use in sport “Those who have cheated have threatened the very future of sport and tarnished its reputation, perhaps irreparably,”’ says the 69- year-old judge Dubin, a lifelong sports fanatic, did not let Johnson off the hook, either. The judge said the 28-year-old athlete, who admitted his steroid use after months of hiding the truth from Canadians and the world, denied his opponents ‘‘a level playing field and deprived worthy athletes’’ of their glory. “I cannot understand how .. . he would allow himself to be a party to an orchestrated plan he knew would mistead- the Canadian public and the international spor- ting community into believing that he had never used perfor- mance-enhancing drugs, had never cheated, and had somehow wrongfully been deprived of his gold medal,’’ Dubin wrote. During the decade in which he grew to become the fastest man alive, Johnson collected tens of thousands of dollars in taxpayers’ money, which paid for trips all over the world. It all collapsed after Seoul — the world records, the appearance fees and the endorsement contrac- ts. The report, compiled from 295 exhibits and the testimony of 119 witnesses, recommends that Ot- tawa maintain Johnson’s suspen- sion from federal funding, although it~ says he and other athletes caught in Canada Please see DUBIN, page 82 Heroes emerge in the 11th hour By The Canadian Press England and Yugoslavia clinched the last two places in the World Cup quarter-finals at the expense of Spain and Begium after gruelling games decided in overtime Tuesday. | Weary legs at the end of 120 minutes of non-stop soccer mage the final result something of a lottery and both the English and the Yugoslavs expressed relief after being outplayed for much of the time. “It was very cruel for Belgium but we earned a pretty good victory against a very solid team,’’ England coach Bobby Robson said after his team’s 1-0 triumph at Bologna, Italy. “Bad luck exists,’’ Belgian coach Guy Thys said. ‘‘We dominated three-quarters of the match and the team played magnificently. “We hit the post twice. It just wasn’t our day, but I am very proud of the side.”” England and Yugoslavia both found a hero when it mattered England's was substitute David Platt, who floored Belgium with the only goal one minute from the final whistle. Yugoslavia’s was Dragan Stojkovic, a midfielder of subtle skills who scored two superb goals in a 2-1 win over Spain at Verona, Italy. Yugoslavia goes on to meet defen- ding-champion Argentina in Florence on Saturday and England faces the giant-killing Cameroon squad in Naples on Sunday. In the other quarter-final matches, Italy takes on Ireland in Rome on Saturday, and West Germany op- Poses Czechoslovakia in Milan on Sunday. Oddsmakers are betting on a final between the host Italians and West Germany. Both victories Tuesday evoked Argentina’s 1-0 upset of Brazil last Sunday after a game Brazil had thoroughly dominated, striking goal Pro says watch The Wimp By CasNews Staff Castlegar and District Golf Club pro Denny McArthur has a warning for all the golfers who thought the Ironman tournament at the course Sunday was a tough one. “If you think the Ironman was tough, wait for the Wimp (July 29),”” said McArthur. Unlike the Ironman, which is the toughest course the golfers will play all season in terms of length and pin placements, The Wimp is supposed to be just the opposite. But McArthur said it doesn’t always turn out that way and Ironmen can become puddles of jelly. Danny Walker won the Ironman on Sunday with a low gross of five over par 77. McArthur, Al Akselson and Jim Perehudoff tied for second low gross with 81s while Bill Perehudoff, Alex Perehudoff and Ron Perrier had 82s to tie for third Don Poole came in with a 66 to win the low net event while Jerry Pickering and Alan Markin were seven shots back in a tie for second. (Low net takes into account a player’s handicap while low gross does not.) The tourney’s ironwoman was Dianne McAfee who carded a low gross of 90. Diony McArthur was second with a 99. Dita Wichert took the low net event with_an_81_and Rita Gorkoff_was second with an 85. Alice Papp was third with an 86. McArthur, who set up the course for the Ironman, said he put the pins in places the golfers wouldn’t have seen before and made the course play long by adding some yards at the tees and with back edge pin placements. “I don’t think the pin placements were strictly regulation. We wanted to make it a little difficult and I think we succeeded,’’ he said While the Ironman is a hitters game, the Wimp is more finesse and McArthur said he wouldn’t be sur- prised if scores got higher (like they have in the past) on what's supposed to be an easier event. “They find it’s really hard to putt in the Wimp because the pin Placements are approximately three yards in on each green — dead centre — 80, on this course, that means you're always going to be putting downhill. People find it really hard to putt downhill,”* he said Posts three times. Belgium was stop- ped by posts twice and Spanish striker Emilio Butragueno hit the post as his side threatened to overrun Yugoslavia. times with 40-year-old English goalkeeper Peter Shilton helpless. But England hung-on-ever more desparately as the match-reached ex- tra time and squeezed through when a volleyed the ball over goalkeeper Michel Preud’homme and into the Belgian net, his first goal for his coun- try. **When I came on, I could see some WORLD CuP ‘90 Veteran Belgian striker Jan Ceulemans ran foul of the post in the first half against England and mid- fielder Enzo Scifo did the same with a curling shot in the second half, both penalty shootout seemed inevitable.

Riot police restored order. Meanwhile, 246 English fans arrived home after being detained by police, loaded on a chartered plane and expelled after rioting in the coastal resort of Rimini. The English fans said rough treat- ment by Italian police did not stop once the plane was airborne. came in second. By ED MILLS Staff Writer The Nelson Neptunes, on home turf, won the first round of the battle of the swim clubs over the Castlegar Aquanauts in the Nelson Invitational ‘swim meet Saturday and Sunday In boxing terms, you’d have to say the Aquanauts were pounded The Neptunes took first overall with 721 points, which was 272 better than the Aquanauts in second place. The Robson River Otters, with 59 points, finished seventh, in front of Grand Forks and behind clubs from Trail, Colville, Wash., Kimberley and Beaver Valley. The meet saw 19 individual pool records set and seven more in relays, with 325 swimmers com peting The Otters’ Kim Verigin set a new standard in the Division 4 boys 100-metre freestyle with a time of 109.87 while the CosNews photo by Kathy Verigin Aquanauts lose round one Aquanauts’ Division 4 relay team was Castlegar’s only record setter at the meet. Verigin was Robson’s top swimmer, amassing 23 of the team’s points on his way to the gold aggregate medal which he shared with Nelson swimmer Sacha Kalabis. Kristy Verigin was the only other aggregate winner for the Ot- ters, taking the bronze in Division 2 girls. The Aquanauts had eight swimmers win aggregate medals with Brian Preston taking silver and Craig Hawkins the bronze in Division 3, while Teddy Hunter won silver in Division 4. Mario Fehrenberg led the way in a Castlegar sweep of the aggregate medals in Division 6 as he took gold while teammates Justin Phillips and Mike Hunter got the silver and bronze respectively. In Division 7, it was Jodi Young and Neil Jones each winning a bronze. Robson River Otters’ David Shingle (close) gets off the wall fast in the Division 4 Boys 50 Metre back stroke at the Nelson Neptunes Invitational swim meet in Nelson Sunday. The Otters placed 7th overall while the Castlegar Aquanauts Aquanauts coach Tom Carew said he was pleased overall with the meet, but especially with his younger swimmers. Still, the team did get beat by a lot of points and Carew said he’s looking for some improvement in the team’s next big meet July 7 and 8 in Trail “That's going to be a really im- Portant meet for us because the provincials are going to be there and so are the regionals, so we'll be looking for the kids to swim fast at that meet.”” Prior to the Nelson meet — which was the first A event of the season, which means the entire team was eligible to attend with both A and B level swimmers competing — Carew said he wasn’t too concerned about fast times, but more about seeing technical improvement Now though, he’s expecting more intensity from his swimmers leading up to Trail “Now that school’s over, and soccer and softball are over, I think the kids have to get a little more focused, more disciplined, and get a little tougher in the prac- tices and in the meets.”’ Carew admitted he doesn’t want his club beaten by such a large margin again this year and added that the Aquanauts will be ready for their rivals from Nelson at the Trail meet, and especially when the Aquanauts hold their own meet here in late July “That was their (Nelson’s) meet, so they’re going to get out a lot of swimmers which means they can get a lot of points. At our meet we're going to try and get out the whole club too,’* he said The Aquanauts will split this weekend with a small group heading to an A meet in Kelowna while the rest will cross the Fiver as the Robson River per meet ‘at tHe» Cbra Leas Memorfia! Pool Lions hunt down Flutie Heisman winner is team’s fifth LANGLEY (CP) Doug Flutie Occupied centre stage at the B.C Lions’ practice Tuesday, although his first workout in the CFL consisted mainly of posing for cameras and signing authographs On the field, the former Heisman Trophy-winner restricted himself to throwing several passes to rival quar terbacks Rickey Foggie and Tony Trosin . “*It was exciting and it’s great to be in uniform and back on a football field,”’ Flutie told a horde of repor ter practice “I know what's going on and it won't take long to feel comforfable running the offence."’ Flutie, released by the New Patriots in the off-season, QB signed a one-year deal with the Lions on Monday night. The deal includes an option year and a two-year per- sonal services contract with team owner Murray Pezim. Pezim said the contracts could net Flutie $300,000 a year, a sum that would make him the highest-paid player in the CFL. Flutie, 27, played for the New Jer- sey Generals of the USFL before moving to the NFL’s Chicago Bears and New England Patriots. Head coach Lary Kuharich said Tuesday that Flutie won't play in the Lions’ opening exhibition game Thur sday against the Edmonton Eskimos. “I haven't even been in pads so you don't walk Onto a field and play a game in that type of situation,’’ Flutie said. ‘It makes sense to me and I'll just prepare for when my opportunity comes." Kuharich said it was too early to assess what, if any, immediate impact Flutie would have on his team “We have ‘five quarterbacks in camp and he (Flutie) rounds out the type of players I was looking for at that position.” Foggie, a third-year pro who played behind Matt Dunigan last year, ad mitted the signing of Flutie will put more pressure on him. “The starting job wasn't given to the start of camp and with us now it will only push me to work harder and improve my game even more,"’ he said. Rookie quarterback Major Harris said he was not concerned about the Lions signing Flutie “T have a job to do, no matter who is in camp.” Defensive end Mark Gastineau, a former NFL all-star with the New York Jets, who signed with B.C. two weeks ago, helped persuade Flutie to join the CFL club “IT told him how positive the team was and about how much everyone wanted him to be part of the team. He’s tailor-made for this league and his experience will help make our club even better."" Pezim, meanwhile, said the signings of both Flutie and Gastineau has raised the team's credibility. “We sold upwards of a thousand seats for Thursday's game after an- nouncing the Flutie signing.” The flamboyant stock promoter also said he had another major deal in the works. “‘Maybe I'll have something for you (the media) next week,”’ he said. Lions officials suggested any future signing would involve the team’s of- fence.
