GREENSBORO, United State (AFP) — American athletics officials and top stars ripped North American sports leagues for inadequate anti-doping controls in pushing a proposed "Zero Tolerance" steroid plan.

"Admitting there is a problem with drugs in our sport is the best way to move toward dealing more effectively with that problem," Masback told the gathering.
