New York -UPD- A new drug which might help ath letes break world records was frowned upon today by a high official in amateur sports. Dan Ferris, honorary secretary-treasurer of the Amateur Athletic union, said any ath lete found using a drug would be ineligible for any competi tion under AAU rules. Unusual fatigue-inhibiting properties of the new drug known as t-h-a-m-was discov ered by two government scientists, who said physiolo gists believe it would enable athletes to establish new speed records in long distance run ning and swimming and other type competition. Its previous usage was limited to making soaps and detergents: Ferris, who has been con nected with amateur athletics for over 50 years, emphasized that neither AAU nor Interna tional federation rulings per mit anyone to enter an event under the influence of a drug. "Drugs to stimulate athlet ic prowess are nothing new," Ferris said. "I've been hear ing reports of their usage for the past four or five years." Dr. Robert Galambos, chief of the Walter Reed Army In stitute of Research's neuro physiology department, said physiologists venture guesses that a man could knock 10 seconds off the world record for the mile. . , , Richard Nixon Relief Pitcher .
