[SIZE=-1]He said athletes should study the rules themselves. And if that is not sufficient, "give me a call, or come to one of the meetings. Find out something more before you open your mouth," Howman told the Associated Press on Thursday in a telephone interview from Montreal.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]"The system is far more flexible than they lead to believe," Howman said. If they do not take time or effort to apply anti-doping rules "they are not being responsible either to their sport or to the other players they are competing with."[/SIZE]
