FloJo accused of buying growth hormones NEW YORK (AP) _ Florence Griffith Joyner, accused by Darrell Robinson of buying growth hor- 6mones from him, on Thursday called ,the sprinter "a compulsive, crazy, lying, lunatic." "I don't do drugs," Griffith Joyner .said. "I never have taken any drugs. I don't believe in them. It's a false :accusation." Robinson detailed his dealings with the 1988 Olympic heroine and other track and field athletes and Coaches, including Carl Lewis, in the West German magazine Stern. Robinson repeated the charges Thursday on NBC-TV's "Today" show. Griffith Joyner, accompanied by her husband Al Joyner, the 1984 Olympic triple jump champion, and business manager Gordon Baskin, flew from her California home to New York for the early morning show in hopes of meeting her accuser. Robinson failed to show up, but the two confronted each other via a hookup from his Toronto home, and the rhetoric was bitter. "How can you have the nerve... to tell a false lie?" Griffith Joyner said angrily. "She says she didn't take them (drugs)," Robinson said. "It's my word against hers." 1 "You admitted taking drugs and why do you want to implicate other athletes?" Griffith Joyner said. ROBINSON, who reportedly re- ceived at least $25, 0(X) for the mag- azine story, published Thursday, and money for appearing on the TV show, insisted he was "not doing it just for the money." "The money issue isn't an issue," he said. "I am sick and tired of hear- ing everyone saying they're clean." Robinson, the 1986 national champion at 400 meters and the 1982 and 1985 runner-up, contended in the magazine story that Griffith Joyner asked him to get growth hormones for her last year, because "I have connections." He said she paid him $2,000 in 20 $100 bills and the transaction took place in mid-March 1988 on Venice Boulevard in Los Angeles. Robinson alleges that Griffith Joyner asked him to look into the cost of the hormones. He said that, when he told her it would cost "$2,000" for 10 cubic centimeters," she said, "That's crazy." HE QUOTES Griffith Joyner as saying, "If you want to make a million, you've got to invest a few thousand." Robinson says that a few days later, Griffith Joyner gave him a "wad of 20 hundred-dollar bills." "I never gave him a dime for anything," Griffith Joyner said. "Why meet on Venice Boulevard? The only place I met him was on the track. I have never run into Darrell on the street. This was not the first time that drug accusations were made about Griffith Joyner, who rocketed into international fame in 1988 after being a world-class runner for years but never a star. "This is so horrendously wrong," Baskin said. "When are they going to stop hitting on this girl? This young lady has never used drugs."

Five Bruin players have been suspended from playing with the team this year as a result of off-the- field incidents. Although none of the players were expected to start, they were all seen as possible con- tributors to the team. Red-shirt frosh defensive back Willie Crawford was suspended after stealing a backpack from a student and using credit cards found in the backpack. Crawford is the nephew of former UCLA basketball coach Walt Hazzard. Crawford's roommate, wide re- ceiver Kerry Ferrell, joined him on the suspended list after it was found that he made charges on the stolen card. Ferrell has since transferred to Rutgers. Three other Bruins, linebackeir Roman Phifer and defensive backs Damon Lyons and Anthony Burnett assaulted a campus security officer at a Westwood eatery. The school reported that the players accosted tie guard after being hassled by the guard the previous evening. But latei reports indicated that the guard had stopped the players from causing a disturbance in a campus parking lot. No formal charges were filed against the players for the parking lot incident. Daily Bruin editors Dave Gibson, Wendy Weatherspoon and formet Daily Bruin editor Tom Sullivad contributed to this story. I O Ll Lc o --m .4 A >4 Welcome and welcome back!
