Four years ago, USC came
ider national scrutiny for its alged
haphazard monitoring of
ug use among student athletes.
In response, USC revamped its
ug testing system and combined
with a new wellness program,
hich includes education and
'unseling and is aimed at improng
the overall health of athletes.
The changes have brought na>nal
praise from other universi;s
and alumni.

Why test for drugs?
But why do universities find it
cessary to test for drugs?
"What an athletic program is all
out is the best physical performce
possible from the athletes,

d life in general," Johnson said.
"Numerous career-ending injurs
have occurred to athletes
der the influence of the so-called
rformance-enhancing drugs," he
ded.
"After more than 700 years of
perimentation with drugs, there
no scientific proof that drug use
s improved athletic performance
any way, and there are many
ientific studies which have
own decreases in performance."
[ow do drugs affect
athletes?
Johnson said steroids cause a s
ss of elasticity in tendons and li- s
ments, while alcohol disrupts the i

Marijuana and cocaine alsc
harm the health of athletes.
Marijuana is a known carcinogen
that produces slow reactior
limes and impairs eye-lianc
coordination.
Cocaine and amphetamines
cause misperceptions of physical
and mental power and cause pair
to be masked. That masking increases
the possibility of injury,
Cocaine also causes rapid hearl
rate and mav Droduce a stroke.
How the program works
USC's drug testing is done with
supervision over a series of steps,
Johnson said.
A computer program randomly
selects athletes to be tested and assigns
each student a number. During
the time the samples are being
tested, each athlete is referred to
only by number, Johnson said.
Student athlete Raymond Kennedy
said no one knows when or
how many limes a person will be
selected during a semester.
"I've been tested once a semester,
and as many times as three,"
he said.
Students are notified, usually by
phone, that they will be tested.
Jerry Inman, another student athlete,
and Kennedy said notification
time varies from one to four hours.
If an athlete is a "no-show," the
test is considered "positive" until
the student's reason for missing a
test is discovered, Inman said.
"Coaches have our class schedules
so they know if we will be
available," he said.
Inman said athletes who have
been selected for testing report to
the area where the samples are taken
and show an I.D. The athletes
are accompanied by a witnessobserverer
of the same sex during
this phase.
Taking two urine samples of
ithletes is standard procedure. One
;ample is used for an initial
screening and the other is available
f a further check is necessary,
fohnson said.

r If a "positive" screening is obtained,
the second sample is sent to
i The Indiana University Sports Medicine
Drug Identification Laborat
ory. The laboratory is used by the
i National Collegiate Athletic Assol
ciation, the Olympics and the federal
government.
Throughout the series of steps,
I Johnson said a system of checks
i and balances has been set up involving
people from the Wellness
Committee and the community.
"It's not a fail-safe system. No
system is, but it's designed as
carefully and positively as can be,"
he said.
"The testing list is comprised of
drugs generally purported to be
performance-enhancing and/or potentially
harmful to the health and
safety of the student-athlete,"
Johnson said.
"Also, there are 215 over-thecounter
drugs banned by the
1 NCAA," he said. "If you are taking
these over-the-counter drugs
your screening will show a 'positive.'
But the confirmation test
sorts these out accurately."
How accurate are the tests?
Dr. Steven Merlin from Charter
Rivers Hospital said, "These tests
are accurate. It's a student myth
that you can confuse tests results
consistently. USC uses gas
chromatograph/mass spectrophotometry
tests which pick up minute
amounts of drugs."
If an athlete took certain drugs a
week before the testing, Johnson
said, traces are likely to still be
found in the body.
"Many physical and mental effects
of drugs persist after the drug
has been cleared from the system,"
1 Johnson said.
Paulette Bentley, a registered
nurse at Charter Rivers Hospital,
said the part of some drugs that is
not used outright is stored in the
fatty tissues of the body and released
later.
"A person may be off a drug for
six weeks and still test positive,"
she said. "It depends on the individual
and the situation, how a body
