Canadian Olympic officials who protested the pairs figure skating judging to get a gold medal for Jamie Sale and David 1'elletier now want the International Olympic Committee to review drug tests in cross-country skiing. The goal is for Canadian skier Beckie Scott, who won the bronze medal in the women's 10-K 10-K cross country combined event on Feb. 15, to be awarded gold because the two women who beat her Russians Olga Danilova and Larissa Lautina were later found guilty of doping and kicked out of the Salt Lake City Games on the final day of competition. com-petition. According to a letter dated Feb. 24 from the Canadian Olympic Association to the IOC. the Canadians believe the Russian skiers almost certainly were using the drug darbepoetin before a Feb. 21 test detected it in their systems. Spain distances itself Spanish Sports Secretary pledges measures to avoid repeat of Muehlegg scandal By CLARAIM GILES AP writer MADRID. Spain (AP) Spain moved to distance itself from Olympic skier Johann Muehlegg, who was stripped of one of his three gold medals, pledging measures Wednesday to avoid any similar doping scandal recurring recur-ring in the future. "Spanish sport has taken a serious knock because of the reprehensible conduct in the eyes of the International Olympic Committee of one of its athletes." the deputy minister for sport. Juan Antonio Gomez Angulo, said on arrival back in Madrid from the Olympics in Salt Lake City. ONCE-IN- cnniktn'i. ormma 1 !

Plaza Power Sports 345 Noth Main St, Heber City Ut 84032 43654-7073 YAMAHA Record seeks doping investigation The letter asks the IOC to conduct a further review of drug tests the Russians underwent six days earlier in connection with the 10-K combined competition. So far. the IOC has said the Russians tested clean for the 10-K 10-K combined and therefore would keep their medals. To Canadian officials and athletes, that amounts to knowing the Russians cheated but letting them get away with it. The letter from Sally Rchorick. chief of mission of the Canadian Olympic team, said it was "highly unlikely" the drug use would have started after the 10-K combined race on Feb. 15, according to "considerable expert opinion." It added there was "every reason rea-son to believe that the athletes who tested positive on Feb 21st were competing with the advantage advan-tage afforded by the use of (darbepoetin) (dar-bepoetin) on Feb. 15th, in direct and distinct violation of the rules against doping." Darbepoetin boosts the production pro-duction of red blood cells that carry oxygen to muscles. It is relatively rel-atively new and not on the IOC's "There will be a before and after with the Muehlegg case in terms of combatting dopin'g." added Gomez Angulo. He pledged "as many measures as necessary to avoid such cases happening again." Gomez Angulo gave no clues as to what measures would be taken but said he may present details in his appearance before Parliament in the coming weeks to explain the scandal. Spain's sporting image took a hammering last Sunday when the German-born Spanish skier was stripped of a third gold medal for the 50K after testing positive for darbepoetin, which boosts production pro-duction of oxygen-carrying red blood cells. j SXVIPER HX Had SXVIPER KR Tkun TusjLha BlUttWhita f SXVIPER MOUNTAIN Haal Red ! 300rEE 4- ACCESSORIES : i MOLWIKl License ' JtAfU list of banned substances, but has similar properties to the banned hormone erythropoietin, or EPO. Rehorick's letter notes that Danilova and Lazutina may have undergone urine tests only, and not blood tests, on Feb. 15, and that the urine samples may not have been tested for darbepoetin. "Should this be the case, we formally request that urine samples sam-ples collected at the conclusion of competition of Feb 15th from the athletes noted above be subjected subject-ed to analysis appropriate for the detection of erythropoietin andor related substances." said the letter sent to Prince Alexandre de Merode, chairman of the IOC Medical Commission, and copied to IOC President Jacques Rogge and Dick Pound, the Canadian who heads the World Anti-Doping Agency. Mark Lowry. the COA executive execu-tive director for sports and programs, pro-grams, said Wednesday that the IOC has the capability to conduct further tests on the urine samples from Feb. 15.

"Condemnation of this conduct, con-duct, for which one individual is responsible, can not be extended to cover ... all Spanish athletes," said Gomez Angulo, who argued that the country's record on doping dop-ing was clean.
