MOMENTUM CONTINUES FOR 2003 TITAN GAMES WITH DRUG FREE COMPETITION    COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The momentum generated by the successful 2003 Titan Games, held Feb. 13-15 in San Jose, Calif., continued today as drug test results from the competition were released revealing no positive tests.  At the request of the U.S. Olympic Committee, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) conducted an aggressive plan in which 99 tests were conducted among the 184 participating athletes.  All tests were negative either by the absence of prohibited substances or by the allowance granted by prior notification of use to treat a specific problem.    "USADA and the U.S. Olympic Committee were aggressive in their testing plan in an effort to continue the fight against doping in sport," said Jim Scherr, Chief of Sport Performance for the USOC. "We appreciate the cooperation of Titan Games participants in adhering to the plan and for their commitment to eradicating doping in sport."    USADA is the independent anti-doping agency for Olympic sports in the United States, and is responsible for managing the testing and adjudication process for U.S. Olympic, Pan American and Paralympic athletes.  USADA is equally dedicated to preserving the integrity of sport through research initiatives and educational programs.    Nineteen countries, 184 athletes and eight National Governing Bodies (NGBs) -  USA Boxing, U.S. Fencing, USA Judo, U.S. Karate, U.S. Taekwondo, USA Track and Field, USA Weightlifting and USA Wrestling - took part in the 2003 Titan Games.  Three days of non-stop action and enthusiasm highlighted the Titan Games as athletes in the sports of boxing, fencing, judo, karate, shot put, taekwondo, weightlifting and wrestling took their first steps on the Road to Athens.   The San Jose Event Center received an Olympic makeover as four "battle zones" were placed on the floor, providing a forum for simultaneous competition and unbeatable excitement.  The Titan Games helped showcase the journey of athletes as they prepare for the Olympic Games.    With the results of Titan Games drug testing now complete, the U.S. Olympic Committee will begin distributing the $100,000 in cash and prizes awarded to competitors in the Titan Games through the NGBs or international sports federations.  With U.S. teams finishing first in five of the eight sport competitions, the USOC will distribute over $22,000 in first place prize money to USA Boxing, U.S. Fencing, U.S. Karate, U.S. Track & Field and USA Weightlifting for distribution to the athletes that competed.    Titan Games Telecast On ESPN 2 March 29 & 30  Perhaps the toughest job following the 2003 Titan Games is the task of creating two, one-hour television shows from three days of world-class competition.  The U.S. Olympic Committee and production partners Bud Sports have done just that however and are set to showcase their effort Saturday, March 29 from 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. ET, followed by another one-hour telecast on Sunday, March 30 from 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. ET on ESPN 2.  Viewers will get a chance to see U.S. weightlifter Shane Hamman and his 501 ½ pound clean and jerk, Cael Sanderson's new wrestling challenge following an undefeated college career, Rulon Gardner's comeback from a near-fatal snowmobile accident, as well as rarely televised sports of fencing, judo, karate and taekwondo.    Titan Games Interest Escalates  The successful completion of the 2003 Titan Games has parlayed into increasing nationwide interest as more than 10 cities have expressed interest in hosting similar multi-sports events.     "This is what the Olympic movement is all about," said Gardner, a 2000 Olympic gold medalist.  "If you walk in here (Titan Games venue), you understand that. Just to look down the arena and see sport after sport of amazing competitors and action says enough."    That type of reaction began the first night of the event February 13 and built as the event was played out, with the final session on February 15, drawing 4,150 - just short of a sellout.    "This event is one of the best concepts to be put forth," said Brian Olsen, 2000 Olympian and five-time U.S. National Champion. "It's so hard to get media attention for these sports at an Olympic Games and it's a great opportunity to get exposure and visibility for some truly competitive sports. It's an unbelievable experience and I'd like to come back for another one."
