Islanders 2 overtime BY DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. Starting in July on the PGA Tour, players who register for a tournament could be given a locker, a tee time for their pro-am and a cup to submit a sample for their drug test. The PGA Tour plans to start its drug-testing program next year after six months of an intensive education program, with penalties for a positive test ranging from a one-year suspension for the first offense to a lifetime ban if a player is caught three times. PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem will have some discretion on some offenses, especially if any positive tests are from recreational instead of performance-enhancing drugs. But he said ignorance will not be accepted as an excuse.

"This is not the FedEx Cup," Finchem said Tuesday, a joking reference to players not understanding the points race. "You've got to know the details on this one." Leaders from golfs most. influential organizations i signed off last month on an arfti-doping policy. The tour's plan was approved by its policy board on Monday. The tour will be sending players a comprehensive manual on the anti-doping" policy Dec.

1, part of an education program that will extend through June. Players must attend a drug' policy meeting in January, they will have access to a 24-hour hotline for questions about various i substances, and medical experts will be at tournaments throughout next year. The manual contains a list of prohibited substances that fall under 10 categories, ranging from anabolic steroids to human growth hormones to narcotics to beta blockers. Soccer Seattle gets MLS team that will begin play in 2009 BY TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE The call came unsolicited, from a powerful Hollywood executive whom Don Garber didn't know.

Roth was serious in wanting his own franchise. "Cold call," Garber said. "He said 'my name is Joe Roth and I want to talk to you about coming into That was in February. On Tuesday, the MLS formally announced that Seattle would become its 15th franchise, beginning play in 2009, concluding the long wait for Pacific Northwest soccer fans. The yet-to-be named team; will play at Qwest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks.

The expansion Tuesday makes Seattle the league's 15th club and follows the i rebirth of the San Jose Earthquakes, who will start play in 2008.
