Indictment: Father Provided Steroids
Inline Skater Son Had Flunked Drug Test

In what is believed to be the first U.S. case in which the parent of an athlete sanctioned by a sports drug-testing agency subsequently faced federal drug distribution charges, the father of a teenage inline skater serving a competition ban for flunking a drug test has been indicted for providing steroids to his son, court documents show.

A federal grand jury in Tampa indicted James Gahan on charges of possessing and distributing the anabolic steroid testosterone to a minor between June 2005 and October 2006, according to the indictment filed last week in U.S. District Court in the middle district of Florida.

The case illustrates the extent to which performance-enhancing drug use in sport has become a priority among federal investigators in the aftermath of the five-year-old Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative steroid case, which led to competition bans for more than a dozen athletes and five criminal convictions.

U.S. Anti-Doping Agency attorney Travis Tygart confirmed that Gahan's son, Corey, was a national record holder in inline skating who was 14 when he failed a drug test administered by the USADA in May 2004. He accepted a two-year competition ban last April while living in Lady Lake, Fla.

In other news, the Albany district attorney who two weeks ago led a raid of the Orlando pharmacy Signature promised to turn over evidence, which shows professional athletes obtained banned or illegal drugs, to the various leagues with which they are affiliated.

David Soares, the district attorney, met last week with representatives from the NFL and Major League Baseball, who sought out Soares after reports that NFL and MLB players were part of Soares's year-long investigation. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league requested information relevant to the NFL that would not compromise the investigation.

It might take a week or two to assemble the information, according to Heather Orth, a spokeswoman for Soares.

"The plan is to release any names we come across to their specific league," Orth said. "It's not specific to Major League Baseball or the NFL."

California Angels outfielder Gary Matthews Jr. is the only current professional athlete whose name has been associated with the case. Former major league players Jason Grimsley, David Bell, John Rocker, Darren Holmes, Jose Canseco and Jerry Hairston Jr., who has a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers, have been named in various news reports.

Pittsburgh Steelers associate physician Richard Rydze was questioned about his purchase of $150,000 in human growth hormone from Signature, officials connected to the case have said.

James Gahan, who faces more than a year in prison, sought legal protection for his son so he could attend a 2005 world championship event in China soon after the positive test, court documents show. That request was denied. Corey Gahan at first claimed he did not take any performance-enhancing drugs, according to the documents.

But after Tampa-based federal authorities, who had indicted a coach and trainer connected to Gahan, provided the USADA with evidence Corey Gahan had used performance-enhancing drugs, he accepted the ban, Tygart said. Evidence showed he had used testosterone, the steroid nandrolone and human chorionic gonadtropin (a pregnancy hormone often used in conjunction with steroids to prevent shrinkage of the testicles).

Gahan, a national champion in 2004 and runner-up in 2005, relinquished those titles and forfeited a national indoor speed record for 1,500 meters that he set in 2005.
