AP SPORTS WRITER ----------American shot put champion Kevin Toth tested positive for the steroid THG and the stimulant modafinil at the 2003 national champiunships and could be suspended for two years, the U.S. ·Olympic Committee announced Monday. Toth is one of four athletes who flunked THG tests during the U.S. champ ionships in June . The others, announced · earlier, were Jacobs, John Regina McEwen and Melissa Price. Jacobs and Price also were national champions. All four face two -year bans if the positive tests are upheld. Final decision s on their cases are expected this spri ng. Later Monday, agent John Nubani announced Toth was retiring, though he still plans to go through with the appeals process. Toth stunned the track and field world with a throw of 74 feet, 4 1/2 inches at the Kansas Relays in April the best performance in the world in 13 years. His winning throw at the l)ational championships was 69-7 l/2. The USOC said Toth also tested positive .for THO during an out-of-competition test in Jul y. Toth, McEwen and Price are disputing the THG test results through the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency 's arbi tration process. Jacobs instead filed a claim with the American Arbitration Association. · " We 're contesting the charges, and tlie case will proceed through the USADA process," sai d Toth 's attorney, Howard Jacobs, no relation to Regina. European 100-meter champion Dwain Chambers also tested positive last year for THG and faces a twoyear. ban. He will appear before a UK Athletics dtsciplinary panel Thursday. Toth was one of dozens of ath letes who appeared before a grand jury probing a nutritional supplements lab. The lab's founder and Barry Bonds' personal trainer were among four people indicted last week on charges they. participated in a steroid-distnbuuon nng that provided drugs to top athletes. All four pleaded innocent Friday. The USOC has announced in recent months that several athletes tested positive for modafinil at the U.S. championships, including Kelli White and Calvtn Ham son. White 's positive test for modafinil at the world championships means she probably will lose 100- and 200meter gold medals. Harri son's fluJJked test could affect seve ral U.S . teammates. He also tested positive for the stimulant pseudoephedrine at the 1993 U.S. junior indoor championships and served a threemonth suspens ion. As a repeat offender, he would face a two-year ban. That means Harrison should not have been el igible for last summer's world championships, at whi ch he ran the opening leg on the U.S. l ,600 relay team. That means the relay team members could lose their gold medals. 37-29 lead with 15:50 to play. The Sooners, meanwhile, made only one of their firs t 17 shots in the second half and went more than 9 minutes without a basket until Jason Detrick scored on a breakaway layup with 9:20 left. By that point, it was too late for Oklahoma to mount much of a challenge to the surging Cowboys. McFarlin, who went 10-of12 from the field; had consecutive baskets that gave Oklahoma State a 15-point lead with 4:38 to play. The jmi.ior forw ard's last field goal started the exodus of Oklahoma fans out of Lloyd Noble Center. . In a nod to the Sooners' offensive ineptitude, the crowd 's biggest cheers came for freshman forward Larry Turner, who made two free throws after missing four strai gh t earlier. Oklahoma, the wor-stshooting team in the Big 12, went 6-of-30 (20 percent) in the second half after leading 27-26 at halftime. By the end of the game, Oklahoma· State's fans had drowned out the crimsonclad crowd with chants of "Go Cowboys Go!" Oklahoma State hadn 't swept the "Bedlam" series against Oklahoma si nce 1998. The Cowboys started their winning streak with a 77-56 victory over the Sooners last month. John Lucas scored 18 points for the Cowboys and Joey Graham added 13. Allen, the te am's leading scorer, had six points. Jabahri Brown led Oklahoma with 16 points. rn steroid case, athletes could be next target The Daily Sentinel's took steroids· arid other banned drugs · would not be prosecuted in court, but they could be suspended from competition - even if they never failed a drug test. Section 9 of the U.S. AntiDoping Agency 's protocol gives that agency the authority to bring a drug case against an athlete in lieu of a positive drug test "when USADA has other reason to believe that a potential doping violation has occurred, such as admitted doping." In such cases, the protocol document says the USADA would initiate the case and send it to a three-member USADA review board for consideration. The USADA covers antidoping issues for · U.S. Olympic athletes, including A-Rod from Page 81 iuning into "Kiner's Komer," their postgame show. : But by Monday night, he was clearly the signed, s~aled and just-about-delivered property of the much-dreaded, crosstown-rival Yanks. Still, Cashman warned, fans shou ldn 't expect the deal to automatically lead to the Yankees' frrst World Series title since 2000. . "The competition isn' t payroll versus payroll. It's player versus player wh~n they 're on !flat field," he said. "Payrolls don :t win championshi~s . If they did, the Florida Marlins .wouldn t have. won last year, the Anahetm Angels wouldn't have won the year before." · · The trade leaves the Yankees' payroll at about $184 million, with reliever Gabe White still unsigned and eligible for arbitration this week. · "To make money, you have to spend money," Yankees prestdent Randy Levine said. "The New York Yankees are in the entertainment and baseball business." . · He said the trade will "bring more people to the ballpark, will create more excitement in ltere and the rest of the country, will improve the New York Yankees brand ." By midafternoon, Major League Baseball 's Web ·Siie was selling Rodriguez 's Yankees jersey for . $99.99, saying it would be shipped once his , number, probably 13, is finalized. · New York has four of baseball 's e ight $100 those in sports such as track and field. NFL and. baseball players wouldn ' t face USADA sanctions, except in the case of baseba ll players · who also participate in international tournaments. But such sanctions would not extend to major league games. Terry Madden, the USADA's chief executive officer, said last week's indictment of four men for allegedly P,articipating in a steroid-distnbution ring could .lead to sanctions agai.nst other athletes. "We fully expect that developments in the U.S. attorney's proceedin~s and our ongoing mvestigauon will lead to the initiation of more doping cases against athletes and others," he said last Thursday after the indictments were handed up. million players, and .its opening-day payroll will be six times that of some teams. Levine pointed out that the Yankees paid $50 million in revenue sharing last year and another $12 million in luxury taxes. "There are never any complaints when we write the check for $60 million and that gets distributed," he said. ''There are only complaints when we do what is in the best interests of the New York Yankees." The rival Red · Sox nearly acquired Rodriguez, a seven-time All-Star, in December, but that deal fell through when Boston's proposal to cut Rodriguez's salary was blocked by the players' association. " I think Larry Lucchino is a little disappointed. He had an opportunity," Levine said, referring to the Red Sox president. Though the Yankees an9 Ran~ers finalized the trade Sunday, it needed Selig's approval because of the amount of the contract Texas is assuming. . "I want to make it abundantly clear to all clubs that I will not allow cash transfers of this magnitude to become the norm." Selig said. "However, given the unique circumstances, incl\Jding the size, length and complexity of Mr. Rodriguez's contract and the quality of the talent moving in both directions, I have .decided to approve the transaction." Texas nwner Tom Hicks initially opposed the trade, but later relented. . "Both of my baseball experts gave me their advice, and it was that ·we can build a championship team faster by · doing this tra\le today," he said. Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio ,'j 0\1'\IS•\III. ,) j .

Bush's appearance provided a TV-ready opportuni ty to emphasize his national security responsibilities and leadership of the war against ter. ror, a role the White House wants to emphasize with voters as he heads into a re-election battle. While officials said the .. visit had been planned for . several weeks, it put Bush in , a J riendly military setting after a bruising week of aile. gations that put him on the defensive.

The panel would review the risks identitied in an Ohio Sl:cretary of State study and those identified in a review of other state s' electronic system s, Sens. Jeff Jacobson, a Dayton-area Republican, and Teresa Fedor, a Toledo Democrat, said Tuesday. It will also address policy iss ue s such as whether to require paper rec~ipts to venfy votes . "Before we expend any more money on electronic voting systems. we have a responsibility to ensure that every potential risk has been addressed so that Ohio voters have confidence · in the way their votes are recorded and counted," Jacobson said. Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell ·said the move would unne~:es sari ly slow the project and risk a federal judge taking over the process. Blackwell has reque sted state approval next month to spend about $133 million in federal money allocated for election reform. Blackwell sought a federal waiver fo r an extension of the government's deadline of having new systems in place in time for the November 2004 election. Blackwell wants some new machines installed in August. some in November and the rest in 2005 . A December report commi ssioned by Blackwell found 57 security risks in the new machines, but he said none were major problems. Blackwell has said he 's confident hi s office can han dle having the problems fixed by the manufacturers.

On Tuesday during a "State of the Team" addJess, Browns president Carmen Policy and coach Butch Davis spoke in vague term s about Couch's future._ . . Couch, who lost hts startmg job to Holcomb in training camp only to get it back, is due to make $7.6 million in 2004 and $8 million in 2005. The Browns want him to ·· redo his deal so they' ll have more flexibility in upcoming free agency and to sign other players. "There's things that have to be done on (his) side of the table," Policy said. " If it appears that we' re able to g1ve T1m what he needs and he's able to do for us what we need, then it's a whole different situation." Policy met with Couch last weekend in Florida and had "candid but not confrontational" discussions about reworking the former No. I draft pick's contract. Before the meeting, Policy was optimi stic the sides would reach an agreement and Couch would return. Policy remain s confident things will be worked out.

Still, it was hard to avoid the . shock wave the Yankees sent through baseball by getting Rodriguez. "A-Rod goes to the Yankees and you sit there and look at that lineup top to bottom," Chicago White Sox closer Billy Koch said. ''The best way to deal with that lineup i"s to be a Yankee pitcher. So you better ask Mr. Steinbrenner to trade for you." Yankees owner George Steinbrenner stayed in Tampa, Fla.; as pitchers and catchers reported to camp. But manager Joe Torre and captain Derek Jeter were at Yankee Stadium, where Rodriguez put on the pinstripes for the first time. The Yankees finalized their Fight from Page 81 sive pressure.

Varnadoe would not ·say who the prospective buyer was, but was optimistic that the building will not remain vacant for long.

Bonner works with small communities and urban neighborhoods in selecting and mairrtaining trees. She also helps village workers reduce property liability by showing them how to prune trees in a way that does not threaten the trees' health. She met with Middleport officials, village workers and resi· dents interested in plan.ting trees in the downtown shopping district on Wednesday to discuss the proper selection, planti· ng and care of trees, and even gave a quick lesson in wielding a saw. The Middleport Community Association has pledged to work with the village in planting attractive and easily-main· rained trees in the shopping district and Bonner suggested not one species, but a variety of them for the downtown. "Trees can create a sense of place for people ," Bonner said. "They can also be real hot points in the community when something goes wrong, or when the trees themselves cause problems for property owners."
