SPORTS BRIEF Injury could hinder While's Olympic preparations SAN JOSE, Calif. — World champi on sprinter Kelli White has not trained for four months because of a knee in jury that could hinder preparations for the 2004 Summer Olympics. Coach Remi Korchemny told the San lose Mercury News that White, of Union City, Calif, had knee surgery last month to correct a bone-tissue problem and will not compete during the upcoming indoor season. White left Thursday to stay with fiance Boris Henry, a javelin thrower in Germany, where she plans to continue treat ment. She did not respond to an e mail request for an interview. If the problem persists, it could af t feet White's ability to prepare for the U.S. Olympic trials in Sacramento in July and the Summer Games in Athens in August. Whiter 26, became the first American woman to sweep the sprint races at a world championships when she won the 100 meters and 200 titles in Paris last year. But since the August meet she has been ensnarled in a daig scandal involving a Burlingame nutrition com pany and its owner, Victor Conte Jr. White tested positive for the contro versial medication modafinil, which drug-testing officials classify as a mild stimulant. A physician formerly con nected to Conte's Balco laboratories said he gave White samples of the med ication to combat narcolepsy, which White and her mother suffer from. White faces the loss of her gold medals in Paris, as well as $120,000 in prize money. She also tested posi tive for the drug at the U.S. nationals in Stanford in June and faces the loss of her American titles as well. Modafinil was not on a banned list last summer, but officials are using a clause in the drug code — "related substances" — to prosecute athletes caught with the medication. The World Anti-Doping Agency, which sets the standards for Olympic dmg testing, added the medication to its banned list last week. — Elliott Almond Knight Ridder Newspapers Adam Amato Photo Editor Senior center Brina Chaney (42) leads Oregon State with 32 blocks this season.
