The committee is scheduled to meet in April, but Smrt said he did not know if the group would consider the report from South Carolina at that time. "As far as a timetable, it would depend on the extent of what the committee wanted to do," Smrt said. "I'm sure the committee is going to do it in a very quick fashion." Athletic Director King Dixon said he is hoping the continuing controversy will be over soon. "I really absolutely do not feel comfortable attempting to answer any specific questions at this time because it has not been resolved with the NCAA," Dixon said. "I would truthfully hope that in the very near future ... it will be resolved." The school's investigation began after an article in Sports Illustrated in October 1988 was co-written by ex-Gamecock football player Tommy Chaikin. Chaikin, who played at USC from 1983 to 1987, said he and other players used steroids. Chaikin, who now lives in Bethesda, Md., also wrote some players used drugs such as cocaine, LSD and marijuana.
