director of enforcement for the NCAA. 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.
The investigation was suspended a short time later
