Donaghy:Rockets-Mavs in '05 was fixed [Hidden Content] Ex-ref: Rockets' '05 series was fixed League calls Donaghy's letter a veiled ploy for lenient sentencing By JONATHAN FEIGEN Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle Disgraced former referee Tim Donaghy charged Tuesday that NBA officials encouraged league referees to influence the results of playoff series, including the Rockets' 2005 series against Dallas. Donaghy made the allegations in a letter filed with the court by his lawyer. He did not specify teams in the letter, but he described the situation of the series in which Dallas owner Mark Cuban complained of illegal screens set by Yao Ming. Donaghy, 41, pleaded guilty to felony charges of betting on games and taking cash payoffs from gamblers in exchange for providing privileged information. He faces up to 33 months in prison, with sentencing scheduled for July 14. In the letter to federal Judge Carol Bagley Amon, Donaghy's legal team argued that Donaghy "provided key information regarding game manipulation by referees." Donaghy's lawyer, John Lauro, has suggested his client deserves credit for coming forward before he was charged to disclose behind-the-scenes misconduct in the NBA. In a statement, the NBA described Donaghy's charges as inaccurate and designed to lighten his sentence. "According to Mr. Donaghy, all of his allegations have previously been made to the FBI and the U.S. Attorney, and they are clearly being disclosed now as part of his desperate attempt to lighten the sentence that will be imposed for his criminal conduct," NBA executive vice president and general counsel Richard Buchanan said. "The NBA remains vigilant in protecting the integrity of our game and has fully cooperated with the government at every stage of its investigation." Donaghy's counsel, however, described the scenario of the 2005 first-round series in which former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy said he had been told by an NBA executive that officials would be watching for moving screens. Van Gundy was fined $100,000 for not revealing the source of his information. "Team 3 lost the first two games in the series and Team 3's owner complained to NBA officials," the letter said. "Team 3's owner alleged that referees were letting a Team 4 player get away with illegal screens. NBA Executive Y told Referee Supervisor Z that the referees for that game were to enforce the screening rules strictly against that Team 4 player. The referees followed the league's instructions and Team 3 came back from behind to win the series. The NBA benefited from this because it prolonged the series, resulting in more tickets sold and more televised games." The letter also charged that officials manipulated a series in 2002 to go seven games. The Western Conference finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings included a controversial Game 6 won by the Lakers when they took a large number of free throws. "The referees' favoring of Team 6," the letter charged, "led to that team's victory that night and Team 6 came back from behind to win the series." The NBA described the information cited in the filing as previously investigated. Speaking before the start of Tuesday night's NBA Finals Game 3 in Los Angeles, NBA commissioner David Stern called the allegations baseless. "He's looking for anything that will somehow shorten the sentence, and it's not going to happen," Stern said.

The Daily News in New York reported Tuesday that Viagra has become a popular pick-me-up for athletes looking for an edge on the field and perhaps some frisky behavior off of it. Citing a source familiar with the New York Yankees clubhouse, the paper said Roger Clemens stashed the diamond-shaped pills in a vitamin bottle in his locker, perhaps keeping the drug undercover to avoid the inevitable wisecracks. But the veteran pitcher wasn't alone. He's among the numerous athletes who have turned Vitamin V and its over-the-counter substitutes into one of the hottest drugs in locker rooms. The drug is so widely used now that it has drawn the attention of anti-doping officials. "All my athletes took it," BALCO founder Victor Conte said of an over-the-counter supplement he claimed mimicked Viagra. "It's bigger than creatine. It's the biggest product in nutritional supplements." Among the off-label uses for Viagra, which first went on the market in 1998: Building endurance, especially for athletes who compete at high altitudes, by delivering oxygen, nutrients and performance-enhancing drugs to muscles more efficiently. Offsetting impotence, which can be a side-effect of testosterone injections. Viagra, officially intended to treat erectile dysfunction, is not banned by Major League Baseball or other sports, and the paper said Clemens would have violated no drug-testing rules by using it. The World Anti-Doping Agency is funding a study to see if Viagra can be used to cheat on the field. Researchers at three U.S. universities are trying to determine if Viagra, officially known as sildenafil citrate, aids training and improves performance. Last month at the Giro d'Italia, Italy's biggest cycling event, Andrea Moletta was suspended after police searched his father's car and found 82 Viagra pills and a syringe. In March, NFL draft prospect Heath Benedict of Florida was found dead at his home. A medical examiner's report said bottles labeled "L-Dex" and "L-Via" — interpreted to be anabolic steroids and liquid Viagra — were found near his body. If researchers conclude that Viagra enhances athletic performance, the World Anti-Doping Agency could add the prescription medication to the list of prohibited substances in Olympic sports. Don Catlin, founder of Anti-Doping Research in Southern California, has been raising questions about Viagra's use in sports for years. "It's a complicated drug," he said. "If you go through the basic pharmacology and stretch your imagination, you could end up saying, 'Yeah, maybe it could be useful for athletes who are competing in endurance sports at high altitude.'" Catlin said he e-mailed then-WADA chairman Dick Pound several years ago to point out that Viagra might be a doping agent, but the message bounced back because the spam filter on Pound's computer would not let the e-mail through. Clemens' lawyer Rusty Hardin did not return a call for comment.

Congrats to all!

Orebo back with WO-S Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader Some of the swagger that was missing from the West Orange-Stark Lady Mustangs’ basketball team last season is set to return. Coach Callie Orebo is back after a year away from the program. Orebo coached the Lady Mustangs for eight years and led the squad to back-to-back regional tournaments in 2006 and 2007. WO-S also made the regional tournament in 2001. WO-S went winless a year ago under a new coach and without the services of either Brittany Scott and Brittany James. “They (current players) area already thinking that because I’m coming back that I am going to make them win,†Orebo said. “It gives them confidence. It’s really not me but it’s good to have that spark, to have them thinking I can make it happen.†WO-S Athletics Director Dan Hooks is eager to see the Lady Mustangs return to the playoffs which were a normal spot for the Lady Mustangs year in-year out. “We sure did have a good run with Orebo on board,†Hooks said. “We hope to get that back. We sunk low last year and I think this year will be a betters season. While she was here we went to the playoffs several years in a row. I hope we can get that going again. I think she will make that happen.†Scott and James are also going to be back in town soon to help with a summer camp with Orebo along with several other former WO-S players. The camp is in its second year at Mt. Olive Baptist Church.
