"I'm not pointing any fingers at anyone or any nation, but it's definitely not drug-free." he said Wednesday. "The IOC should make that the No. I priority." Quick, the US women's coach, has been a vocal critic of drug testing in international swimming. Asked if he had proof of cheating. Quick said he was relying rely-ing on his intuition. " Look at the depth in many of the fields. A lot of great athletes are not in the finals and are not medaling," he said. "I'm sorry that our sport has a cloud over these type of performances." per-formances." These days, suspicions about performance-enhancing drugs surround any swimmer who suddenly sud-denly begins shattering records or winning gold medals. Questions have been asked about Inge de Bruijn of the Netherlands, who has made a rapid rise at age 27 - relatively No fooling around: U.S. boxers thrive on tough love SYDNEY, Australia (AP) Lights out by 11 p.m. Morning runs at 7 a.m. sharp. And don't be a single minute late if you know what's good for you. Coach Tom Mustin isn't fooling fool-ing around with a U.S. boxing team that so far is thriving on his no-nonsense approach to the Olympics. World amateur champion Michael Simms Jr. found out the hard way when he was kicked off the" team for rules violations. Another fighter who stayed out all night with his girlfriend and then slept throueh a wakeup call was fined $500.

In Sydney, De Bruijn has won gold with a world record in the 100-meter butterfly and a relay silver. She's the favorite to win the 100 freestyle Thursday, having set a world record in the semifinals. semifi-nals. "I had a really rough time with the accusations," she said. "If you get a world record, they just want to chop your head off. Right now, I'm really just above those accusations. I've got the gold medal." Quick said he doesnl think De Bruijn is cheating. "I really believe that," he said. Another Dutch swimmer, Pieter van den Hoogenband. is having a sensational Olympics four years after two fourth-place finishes in Atlanta. Van den Hoogenband became the first man to sweep the 100 and 200 freestyles since American Mark Spitz in 1972. He tied his own world record in the 100 freestyle. "You can't accuse someone of taking drugs just because they swim fast," said American Gary- Tough love seems to be paying off for a group of boxers who fought their way out of ghettos and barrios - one learned to fight in prison - to claim a spot , on the U.S. Olympic boxing team. Five days into the boxing competition, American fighters are a perfect 9-0 and already talking among themselves about being the best U S. boxing team since the 1V76 squad featuring the likes of Sugar Ray Leonard and Michael and Leon Spinks won five gold medals in Montreal. Some of the credit has to start at the top, where the portly Mustin a toothpick always balanced bal-anced precariously on his lower lip -- has molded his diverse I - F 10-6 Sat. 4 I P Hall Jr., who was third to Van den Hoogenband in the 100 freestyle. Quick said he's disappointed in the quality and frequency of testing done by international governing bodies of Olympic sports. "The challenge is to make sure thai great performances like we've seen at this meet dont have the shadow of drug-enhancement drug-enhancement possibilities hanging hang-ing over them," he said. American Dara Torres, making mak-ing a comeback at 33 afterTeing retired from swimming for seven years, had to address questions about drugs when she qualified for her record fourth U.S. Olympic sw im team. She's won a relay gold and an individual bronze in Sydney. Torres said her success is the result of staying fit in retirement and nutritional supplements. Quick said it's harder to detect cheaters now compared to the 1970s, when swimmers from the former East Geimany were breaking world records and winning win-ning world and Olympic titles, or even the early '90s, when China suddenly dominated. Both countries' accomplish charges into a united team. "He tells us something, we do it," 71-kilo (156-pounder) Jermain Taylor said. "Our coaches coach-es are more like our fathers. We're like a big family." It's not always one big happy family, though. Taylor stormed out of practice a few days before the Olympics, screaming at Mustin that he hated him and threatening never to come back. The next morning he was lining lin-ing up for his 7 a.m. run. And he was on time. "Now he's hugging me and telling me he loves me," Mustin said. "I told him I dont care if you hate me as long as you win a gold medal." Mustin spent a long time observing U.S. boxing teams before coming up with a plan for training the team in Sydney. What he saw wasn't pretty, as U.S. Olympic teams beset by inner turmoil won only one of !2 available golds at both the 1992 and 1996 Olympics. He and assistant coaches Israel Acosta and Candelario Lopez decided this would be a team of structure, with boxers having to agree to keep both their personal coaches and the pro sharks away. Timetables were set up for daily practices, and strictly enforced. If anyone, still needed convincing, con-vincing, Mustin got their attention atten-tion by throwing Simms, the reigning 81-kilo (178-pound) champion, off the team for repeatedly violating team rules. "It sent a message," said Mustin, 54. "They understood it could happen to them because it did happen."

Quick cited American Jenny Thompson's loss to Yong Zhuang of China in the 100 freestyle at the Barcelona Olympics. Thompson has yet So win an individual indi-vidual Olympic gold, though she has seven in relays. "I know she was cheated in '92 out of a gold medal by a cheater," said Quick, the personal person-al coach of Torres and Thompson. "Isn't, that too bad that happened to her?" So far, China had yet to win a medal in Sydney after its women captured six at the 1996 Olympics. "I dont see that in any one nation anymore. I see possibilities possibili-ties on an individual basis," Quick said. "But it's hard for me to say that one person is using performance-enhancing drugs and one person is not." Quick said he's "very very sad" about the state of drug testing test-ing in Olympic sports. "I'm sorry there's a cloud over our sport when we should be celebrating." cel-ebrating." he said. "I want the IOC to take responsibility for an absolutely fair competition." That didn't stop some boxers from asking for a meeting to let Mustin know how they wanted to train during five weeks of high altitude camp in Colorado Springs, Colo., prior to the Olympics. Not a chance. "I wasn't interested"' Mustin said. Though this is Mustin's first Olympic team, he had the backing back-ing of USA Boxing, whose officials offi-cials were tired of a lack of discipline disci-pline that helped perpetuate a decade of Cuban dominance in amateur boxing. Mustin saw it himself as an alternate coach in 1996, where would-be agents for would-be pros on the team threatened lawsuits law-suits if their boxers were injured in training because the sparring was too tough. Contrast that to the Cuban team, which is ruled quite successfully suc-cessfully by the iron fist of coach Alcides Sagarra. "There w as no discipline at all on some teams," Mustin said. "Way back when I first started it was do what you w ant to do," That won't do while Mustin is in charge. That was evident during dur-ing this team's Olympic camp, the top alternates were brought in to spar with team members. But then. 11 of the 12 alternates alter-nates were kicked out by Mustin because they weren't following team rules. With the Olympics now underway, Mustin's rules haven't changed. When Taylor let it be known after his first fight that he had a S 5 bet w ith teammate Jeff Lacy on who would score the most knockouts he was not amused. "I'll have a talk with Jermain," he said simply. s v ' Dr. Coiieen Sent, bach's Rocky Mountain Eyeworks Marriott Main Street Piam 710 Mmn Street Park Cm. Utah 84068 655-9115 i : 1 . : .
