Steroid ban came after Seoul doctor case
Dr Jamie Astaphan of Ontario testified at a federal inquiry that he prescribed steroids to athletes before the colleges issued strict rules. He said the 1983 notice warned of liver toxicity in oral steroids and that the later November directive after Seoul clarified professional conduct. He claimed no criminal intent and said he did not profit, losing about 30 000 to 35 000 over 1986 to 1988.

Smoking ban challenged as cruel punishment in New Brunswick jails
Larry Carlston, a Fredericton resident sentenced for break and enter, sues the New Brunswick government claiming the provincial no smoking policy in jails violates constitutional rights. The policy was partially relaxed April 11 allowing smoking in jail exercise yards under superintendent approval. The case, heard at the Court of Queen's Bench, seeks a ruling on whether enforcement infringes rights. Justice David Dickson’s decision is expected soon.
