TESTING
Continued from page 1
got a tough problem and you don't
solve tough problems nicely.
"I have a lot of sympathy for
people on drugs, I think they need
help. But part of this help is not
playing on the team. They need to
give up something to get that help."
But Bennett's views on strictly
applying team rules to athletes with
drug problems were not shared by the
other CSUF coaches interviewed by
The Daily Collegian
"You can be a hardnosed coach
and kick them off the team, but I
think their procedure's a lot more
thought out than one of my team
rules," said Head Wrestling
Coach Dennis DeLiddo. "I believe in
our trainers, our doctors. If they
think it's good, it's obviously been
researched and 1 go along with it."
A similar opinion was expressed by
Head Basketball Coach Ron Adams. "The
more you can da to help athletes, the
more I'm in favor of doing it," he
said. "I think you're helping your
program, making for a better team,
and a better human being. My hope is
that in three years from now drugs
and athletes have sort of parted
Most of the criticism of the CSUF
drug-testing program, and mandatory
drug testing in general, came from
people and organizations outside the
Athletics Department; and the most
common argument was that
mandatory testing was a violation of
the athletes'constitutional rights.
The American Civil Liberties
Union opposes mandatory drug-
testing on the grounds that it violates
the fourth-amendment guarantee to
be protected from unwarranted
search and seizure without probable
cause.
"It (the Fourth Amendment) says
that you cannot search everyone,
innocent and guilty alike, to find the
few who are guflty. You must have a
good reason to suspect a particular
person before subjecting him or her
to intrusive and degrading body
searches," the ACLU argued in a
paper entitled "Drug Testing in the
Workplace."
Terry Wissler, a counselor in the
CSUF Health Center with a
background in treating people with
chemical dependency, also used the
Fourth Amendment to argue that
testing should only be done when
there is a problem with an athlete's
performance, and it is suspected that
this problem is drug-related..
For the same reasons, Wissler also
.argued thantesting for performance-
enhancing drugs was justified because
the purpose of taking the drugs was
to affect performance. She felt,
however, that testing for so-called*
"recreational" drugs, like marijuana
and cocaine, was discriminatory
because it unfairly singled out the
athletes to be tested for a drug that is
not performance related and is widely
used by the general public.
"I think that concept wise, the
purpose of the program, the way it's
set up. ifreally to help the athlete
who has a chemical dependency
problem, and I'm not questioning the
•motivation," she said. "The issue I
would have is whether it's their role
to dole out these kinds of
consequences for recreational use of
substances that may not be in any
major kind of way interfering with
what's going onin the athletic
program."
Catherine Laughran, an attorney
for the CSU Chancellor's Office who
provides legal counsel to CSUF,
disagreed with Wissler's contention
that testing for recreational drugs was
discriminatory.
"One of the commitments that
we're asking our athletes to make is
to be totally free of any kind of
chemical influence," she said, "and
there is considerable evidence that
would show that street drugs do
affect performance."
Others defending the program have
denied that mandatory drug testing is
a violation of the athletes' Fourth
Amendment rights, arguing that the
athletes have all freely given their
consent to be tested. It is also argued
that athletes must abide by the rules
established by the Athletics
Department if they want to
participate in intercollegiate athletics.
"We say that intercollegiate
athletics is really more of a privilege
than a right," said Dr. Robert Van
Galder. director of the CSUF drug-
testing program. "Nobody is forcing
them to compete."
The same argument was given by
Thomas Boyle, CSUF assistant dean
of Student Affairs. "We (fhe
administration) view athletic
competition not as a right but as a
privilege." he said. "We invite them to
participate, they agree to participate.
Thus they have to abide by the rules
governing athletics here."
But Hague Foster, a local
representative of the ACLU and
CSUF philosophy professor. *
disagreed. "We don't give up our
basic rights for privileges," he said.
"We (the ACLU) don't think that
