Fuhr said Thursday he failed a private. drug test and spent two weeks in a drug treatment centre in Florida last August. He said he has not used an illegal substance since then. “I was trying to get my life straightened around,"’ he said. ‘‘! wasn't happy.’” Acting on the advice of his lawyer, the 28-year-old: netminder declined to answer any questions Cae ae GRANT FUHR . cocaine abuse about cocaine, but admitted he had abused a ‘“‘substance’’ since approximately 1983 or 1984. Fuhr said he expected to be By ED MILLS Staff Writer Last season the Castlegar Rebels were a less-than-average Junior B hockey club — on and off the ice. The team finished fifth out of six teams in its division and missed the playoffs in the Kootenay Inter- national Junior Hockey League — albeit by just one point — for the second year in a row. Animosity between. players and coaching staff, and coaches and management, was rife and led to per- sonnel from each level quitting the team in disgust. Fans support was average of 150 per game. Over the summer, the executive considered folding the team because of lack of support from the com- munity but, at the last minute, agreed to hang in for another year. Now, with training camp set for Sept. 4, the Rebels executive is once again filled with optimism and grand plans. This year, they say, it’s going to be different. But doesn’t the management of sports teams always say things like that? What makes this year so dif- ferent for the Rebels? For starters, said team president Russ Rilcof — who was elected to that position over the summer, taking oven for Tom Batchelor — the team’s executive is a cohesive, committed and controlled unit this year. And from that leadership all good things will flow. **We're all committed to the team and that has given us certainty, that pitiful, an RUSS RILCOF «has a plan has given us focus. Before that, the team was just surviving one year to the next,’’ he said. Sensing the community doesn’t want to hear it again, Rilcof shied away from saying it’s another rebuilding year for the Rebels. **I don’t want to: put too much em- phasis on it (rebuilding). The last two years this has been a struggling hockey club, really struggling, and this year we plan to change that.’ The team has rehired coach Ed Cooper who will enter his second term behind the bench. Last season Cooper shared coaching duties with Don Soroke who said at the end of last season he wouldn’t be returning. Several players — including leading scorer Dale Bonderud and goalten- ders Matt Kolle and Rick Edwards — will likely return to the team which was in dire need of veterans during its fight for a playoff spot in the stretch drive last season. “Right now we've got a good sup- porting cast. We have a lot of retur- ning players. We started off with a young team last year and they'll be returning a year older, stronger, faster, wiser,’’ Rilcof said. ‘‘We’re moving forward in the area of recruiting because we know what it takes to put a competitive product on the ice."” But Rilcof doesn’t have any delusions of grandeur here. He’s not predicting the Rebels are going to rise from the cellar to the penthouse in the KIJHL in one season. “We're going to give it time. We won't do it (win the championship) this year. We may not do it next year. But in the third year of my particular term as president, I hope we'll be get- ting damn close.’ He said support is already up in the community. People have responded well to the team’s fundraising projects over the summer and ‘businesses in town are showing a new attitude — which translates into money — towards the team. So what Rilcof is forecasting is a competitive team, with a large com- plement of local talent and a well- organized executive. All in all a hockey club that will please the fans and the community. And in a way the trials and tribulations of the club last season will help Rilcof achieve his goal because, as he put it, ‘‘you can’t help but be better than last year.’" The Castlegar Rebels made an early exit from the KIJHL last season, missing the playoffs for the second year in a row. But with a new season comes optimism and grand plans. CosNews tile photo for his Oiler general manager Glen Sather said he had already contac- ted National Hockey League president John Ziegler. Fuhr said he had used the sub- stance once every. three or four weeks, but hasn’t touched it since he left the Straight Centre in St. Petersburg, Fla., last year. He said he was introduced to the substance by friends and con- tinued using it because ‘‘it was the i to do,, part of being the Fuhr said the friends he used the substance with were not Oilers teammates. Earlier Thursday Fuhr denied he had ever used cocaine, but Sather telephoned the Journal and said he and his star goalie would like to discuss the matter. Fuhr and Sather had a lengthy interview at the Journal's offices, accompanied by Oiler publicist Bill Tuele and Fuhr’s lawyer, Richard Rand. Fuhr admitted during the inter- view he had lied when confronted a number of times by Sather about possible drug abuse, because ‘‘it’s not something you tell your boss.”” Sather said he believed Fuhr this time. Sather said Fuhr tested negative for cocaine three times in the last year. Earlier, Sather confirmed Fuhr was treated for cocaine abuse at the centre and that he tested positive for cocaine in a private test former agent Rich Winter pressed him to take. Sather said Fuhr broke down in tears when he was confronted about his cocaine use by RCMP ir Sather’s office a few years ago. Corrine Fuhr, Fuhr’s former wife, said he had used cocaine heavily since she met him in 1983, but had always tried to hide it from her and his teammates. Esa Tikkanen, a teammate of Fuhr’s, described seeing a drug dealer toss the goaltender a bag of cocaine last year in a public bar. Sather said he began confron- ting his goalie in 1983 or 1984 about the possibility he was abusing the drug, but Fuhr always denied it. Sather said he saleuned earlier Fuhr go to a drug treatment cen- tre. > ‘‘1 told him I want to help you. We'll get it taken care of.”” Puhr still denied it. Corrine Fuhr ‘described wat- ching Grant snort cocaine through a rolled up dollar bill im a city nightclub while they were dating. She said the evidence of his cocaine problem was mistakable after their marriage Sept. 23, 1983. Rick Mears, ina Scnske-Chevy: is still in the race for the overall CART- PPG Indy serion chemplonship and will be looking to gain ground on series leader Al Unser Jr. when 26 racers line up Monday for the Molson Vancouver Indy. Racers won't give Indy title to Al VANCOUVER (CP) — Cars can break and cars can crash, so no one thinks Al Unser Jr. is guaranteed a win at the inaugural Molson Van- couver Indy on Sunday. Going into the race, Little AL is coming off three straight wins — and five victories altogether — with four events left in the 16-race CART-PPG Indy series championship. But he can’t afford to play it safe. “We're far from the end of the ** says Unser. “Anything can After winning the Denver Grand Prix last weekend in his Chevy- powered Lola, Unser widened his lead over nd- pli Michael Andretti, 147 to 114. Bobby Rahal is third with 109 points and Rick Mears is at 108. Unser, 28, is in his ninth and best season of Indy-car racing. He’s starting to emerge from the shadow of his father, Al Sr., but Junior says he's never found the “‘son-of"’ handle a nuisance. “I'm really proud to be known as the son of four-time Indy (In- dianapolis 500) winner A! Unser."’ None of Unser’s rivals has given up the chase. * nw ae EMERSON FITIPALDI . In Vancouver “To win you've got to run up front and we've been running up front,” says Rahal, who’s stayed close without a series victory this year but with five second-place finishes and a third at Denver **We've got one-third of the season left over," he says. “If he fails to finish the race for whatever reason — boom — that lead is gone," ““When you're on a roll, you're on a roll,”” says Andretti, who like his father, Mario, drives a Chevy-engined Lola for the Newman-Haas racing team. “But it could stop very quickly. I think we need to stop him (Unser) rolling. We can’t let him win four in q row."" Mears, in a Penske-Chevy, still has a shot, too, but doesn’t want Unser to take another victory lap. “He’s making it tougher all the time by stretching it out."’ Practice and qualifying gets under way today and continues Saturday on the 2.78-kilometre circuit that uses streets around the waterfront B.C Place Stadium. The provisional grid for Sunday's race will be 26 cars, although organizers have the option of starting Canadian Scott Goodyear, running 13th in the standings, has no hope of catching any of the leaders. The Toronto driver’s goal is to finish the series in the top 10 and perhaps pry one of Chevrolet's win- ning engines next year for his Mackenzie-O'’Donnell Racing Lola, which now uses a Judd engine. Bell bums out the Blue Jays By TOM MALQNEY The Canadian Press George Bell aimed, missed. Unable to fire up the offence with his bat because of vision problems, Bell gathered the media together and lit into the team’s young players. “What we've got now is too many young players who don’t know baseball,’ Bell said during his tirade Monday. “You can’t talk to the rookies, they insult you. “They think they have it made They walk around the streets like big shots. They have no respect.”” Whether it was a sincere attempt by Bell to shake the lethargy out of his teammates or whether the fiery out- fielder, sidelined with a fluid buildup behind his retina, was simply trying to gain the spotlight, is open to conjec- ture. But the team came out flat Tuesday against Milwaukee, losing its fifth straight game. The Jays broke out of their slump Wednesday, dowing the Brewers 7-3 for just their second win in 10 games Hitting instructor Gene Tenace, a clutch hitter and a winner with the Oakland Athletics in the mid-1970s, declined to comment on Bell's statements But he did say: fired and “I've never seen anything like it. I’ve never been on a club that’s been in that situation.’” While opinion varies on whether Bell should have made the comments he did, there does seem to be a con- sensus that he should have named specific individuals. The Toronto clubhouse, already cliquish, hardly needed another wedge driven into it Bell is one of the few, if not the only player, to bridge most groups. Bell’s blast seemed aimed at Junior Felix, a fellow Dominican with a chip on his shoulder and a careless ap- proach in the field. Like so many players developed by the Jays, Felix has the physical attributes to be a star in the league. But the richest crude oil won't power an automobile until it’s refined Felix, like fellow outfielders Glenallen Hill and Ken Williams, took exception to Bell’s remarks. Felix’s point was that Bell will get respect only by commanding it with his actions. “If he has something to say about baseball, I always listen,"’ Felix said “If George Bell wants to say something, he can come to me.” Hill said: ‘*George Bell needs to worry about George Bell. His job isn’t worrying about what other players are doing.”” Lions’ coach Q could be canned TORONTO (CP) — Larry Kuharich’s days as coach of the B.C. Lions appear to be numbered The Lions’ flamboyant and out- spoken owner, Murray Pezim, says coaching and not management is the problem plaguing his Canadian Foot- ball League team and changes may be coming “I'm fed up with the operation,”” Pezim said Thursday. ‘‘I had (team presitient Joe) Kapp on the phone (earlier Thursday). I screamed my head off. I told him I was tired of his excuses. Once I have a cancer, I cut it out." Pezim said he talked to Bob O’Billovich, but wouldn’t say what was discussed with the former Argos head coach, although Pezim dropped a broad hint O'Billovich was equally reluctant to say what was talked about “1 don’t know what's going on there (with the Lions),’’ said O'Billovich. ‘I’m in no position to say anything about anything until somebody confronts me in‘a definite nature.’ Kuharich, however, didn’t appear worried about his job. “*Murray can do whatever he wants and say whatever he wants because he’s the owner,"’ he said. The Lions take a 2-5-1 record, the second-worst in the CFL, into today’s game against the Argos and Pezim makes no secret of the fact the Lions have not performed up to his expec- tations. The team’s performance on the field has reflected the unrest that has simmered in the front office almost since the day general manager Kapp went against popular opinion and hired Kuharich as head coach.
