Track and Field won't comment on C.J. Hunter drug allegationsBy Mike
DeArmondKnight Ridder Newspapers(KRT)SYDNEY, Australia U.S.A.
track and field officials would not comment either to confirm or deny
allegations published in a Sydney newspaper that American shot putter C.J.
Hunter flunked drug tests in July in Oslo, Norway.After International
Olympic Committee and U.S. Olympic Committee officials referred comment to
the U.S. track governing body, Jill Geer, the director of communications
for USATF, said that organization could not comment on the
allegation.We have a long-standing policy of not commenting on issues
involving doping and drug testing, Geer said.There was no statement
immediately forthcoming from Craig Masbach, CEO ofthe USATF.He's
not going to say anything more than that either, Geer said.Giorgia
Reineri, spokesman for the national governing body the International
Amatuer Athletics Federation, said he was unaware of a positive test on
Hunter.The allegations appear Monday morning in the Sydney Daily
Telegraph, and cited information from unnamed sources.According to
those sources, Hunter tested positive to the steroids nandrolone and
testosterone at the Bislett Games in Oslo on July 28. Again, according to
the newspaper's sources, Hunger had a reading of nandrolone 1000 times the
legal limite, which is 2 nanograms per millilitre of the urine
sample.Hunter, again according to the Daily Telegraph story, recorded
a testosterone to epitestosterone ratio level of 6-1.Hunter withdrew
from the Olympic shotput competition before the Games began, citing
surgery he said was required to undergo for an injuryed knee on Sept.

already won the gold medal for the 100 meter dash and is going for four
more in these Games. Hunter was the 1999 world champion in the shot
