In the short-term, however, Nelson says the media coverage the controversy received could give the mistaken impression  that everybody is on drugs again. <br>Nelson says that track and field is making a concerted effort to clean up the sport s image with a strict drug testing program.  If the media would look at the statistics they d see that drug use is not as prevalent a problem as they think it is. In this country we get tested, out of competition, probably 6 to 8 times a year  at least I do. I ve even been tested twice in one day by two different organizations! We make ourselves available to the drug testing agencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week, no matter what we re doing. The bottom line is that the athletes who are doing drugs are going to get caught. <br>The current world record holder in the shot put is Randy Barnes, who is serving a lifetime suspension for drug use, being tested positive in 1990 and then again in 1998. Nelson sees that record (75 0.25) as tainted, even though Barnes had passed the drug test when he broke the record.  You don t start taking drugs after you break the world record  let s be honest! <br><br>Poliquin Power<br><br>After last year s world championships, Nelson learned about the success of Charles Poliquin, a strength coach who is owner of the Poliquin Performance Center in Tempe, Arizona. Nelson thought Poliquin might be able to take him to an even higher level. <br>Because Nelson is relatively light for a shot-putter, much of Poliquin s early preparation was designed to increase Nelson s bodyweight. About Nelson s previous attempts to add weight, Poliquin commented,  He always did try, but he had a hard time doing it. According to Poliquin, in seven years of testing athletes he s seen only one who had what he would consider a  normal system. Nelson was not that one, as testing by Poliquin s team of doctors discovered that a specific bacterium called proteus mirabilis was affecting Nelson's digestive system, especially his ability to assimilate protein. <br>Within three months he gained 25 pounds of solid muscle and even decreased his body fat by five percent. Nelson says his goal is to add another 15 pounds of muscle before the Olympics.  I thought I was overtraining or just stressed out, says Nelson.  Once we corrected that problem, everything went back into place again. I have more energy for training and I ve gotten so mlympic track record at 50.74 seconds. Tricia finished second at the World Cup event in LaPlange, France last December and third in Ingls, Austria. At the 2001 World Championships in Calgary, she repeated her third place finish from the previous year. All these competitions vaulted Tricia to 4th in World Cup overall points for the 2001 season. <br>Tricia is leaving no stone unturned in her bid to make the Olympic team. And should se make it, she ll represent our nation with honor. She has gone to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and spent time with the team s sport psychologist, Kirsten Peterson.  She has good insight into my performance personality, said Tricia.  We focused on where my challenges are in sport. She gave me concrete things to try in an effort to create an environment where I can be my best. <br>While in Colorado Springs, Tricia received active release therapy (ART) to help a long-time hamstring injury. Dr. Leahy created this approach to muscle healing which strips off scar tissue and allows the muscles and tendons to move.  Essentially he digs his thumbs into my hamstrings as deep and hard as he can. Ouch! The process only takes about fifteen minutes and it is working. Tricia is
