4. U.S. Hammer-Thrower Logan Ousted from Games for Using Illegal Drug .. 15
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

U.S. hammer thrower Jud Logan was expelled from the Olympics at Barcelona
Thursday after testing positive for an illegal drug.

Logan, who finished fourth in his event Sunday, tested positive Wednesday. 
A second test also was positive and Logan was ordered expelled Thursday.
The findings were announced Wednesday by Prince Alexander de
Merode, chairman of the International Olympic Committee Medical Commission.

The 33-year-old Logan, who is from North Canton, Ohio, tested positive for
the drug Clenbuterol. Logan admitted to using the drug but said he was told
that it was a safe alternative to anabolic steroids. He said he stopped 
using the drug when he learned it was banned earlier this year.

Logan's fourth-place finish in the hammer throw was the best by an American
since Harold Connolly won the gold medal in the 1956 Olympics.

Logan is the first American since swimmer Rick DeMont in 1972 to fail a drug
test at the Olympics. DeMont lost his gold medal in the 400-meter freestyle
after he took medicine for his asthma that contained a banned stimulant.
