NCAA Punishes U.C.-San Diego After Crew Coaches Hand Out Prescription Drugs

A former women?s head rowing coach at the University of California at San Diego gave six athletes prescription drugs on at least 24 occasions, the National Collegiate Athletic Association said Tuesday, announcing penalties stemming from unethical conduct and the university?s failure to monitor the program. Athletes also competed while ineligible, in some cases, with the knowledge and at the direction of coaches, the NCAA?s public infractions report says.

The former head coach also lied to NCAA investigators about having told athletes to compete and sign for meals under the names of ?eligible student-athletes or other individuals.? The rowing team will get one year of probation, a $2,500 fine and vacation of women?s rowing results from 2010-12. The former head coach faces a three-year show cause order, making it difficult for her to be hired at another institution, and a former assistant coach who allowed an ineligible athlete to compete and then lied to investigators faces a one-year show cause order.
