DRUG ALLEGATIONS CONFIRMED BY CCES

The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) announced last week
that Brandon University's fifthyear forward Scott Lelievre and
first-year point guard Bode Olagundoye have committed anti-doping rule
violations. The violations occurred following a game against the
University of Winnipeg on Nov. 25, 2004 in which their urine samples
returned adverse analytical findings for cannabis and cocaine
metabolites.

As part of the CCES process, both athletes had the right to a hearing
to determine whether they committed a violation. Bode Olagundoye
waived his right to a hearing and acknowledged that he had committed
an anti-doping rule violation. In accordance with CIS regulations,
Olagundoye is ineligible for CIS competition for two years and will be
eligible to return to CIS basketball in November, 2006.

Lelievre exercised his right to a hearing before an independent
arbitrator. The arbitrator has determined that Lelievre's adverse
findings constituted an anti-doping violation and a two-year
suspension as well.

"Brandon University respects the CCES/CIS anti-doping rule, the
process and the outcomes. In discussion with the two student athletes,
they both maintained that they did not knowingly take cocaine and that
the metabolite findings were inadvertent." BU Athletics stands firmly
behind its "zero tolerance of drug use" and continues to promote drug
education and awareness," said athletic director Rick Nickelchok.
