THE SIDELINES : Texas Won’t Probe Steroid Use
<i> From Times Wire Services </i>
AUSTIN, Tex. —
Texas Athletic Director DeLoss Dodds said he does not plan to investigate a report that 25 football players used anabolic steroids in violation of a National Collegiate Athletic Assn. ban. Dodds said the school would not discipline any players it learns had used steroids because, under the school’s drug policy, a first positive test carries no punishment.
Eight Longhorn players told the Austin American-Statesman that 25 players have used steroids since the NCAA voted in 1986 to ban the drugs.
