BANNED LIST AT SIX
A third Russian athlete and two Lithuanian cycling officials
were expelled from the Olympics yesterday as a result of
offenses involving performance-enhancing drugs.
Nina Zhivanevskaya, who won the consolation final of the women's
200-meter backstroke last Thursday, was expunged from the
records after testing positive for the banned substance
bromantan. She was the fourth athlete at the Atlanta Games to
test positive for the drug, which is classified as a stimulant
but can also be used to mask other drugs. On Monday the IOC had
stripped bronze medals from two Russians: 105.5-pound
Greco-Roman wrestler Zafar Gouliev and Andrei Korneyev, who swam
the 200 breaststroke.
The Lithuanian coach and the physician of the third athlete who
had tested positive, cyclist Rita Raznette, were suspected by
the IOC of promoting the use of a banned substance. Coach Boris
Vasilyez and Vitaly Slionssarenko lost their credentials.
"We don't deny that our athletes were positive," said Rudolf
Nezvetsky, spokesman for the Russian Olympic Committee, "but
this substance is not found on the list of prohibited
substances." The IOC, however, contends that bromantan falls
into the ambiguous category of "related substances" that are
considered illegal performance enhancers.
