Former Clemson University assistant strength coach Jack Harkness pleaded guilty to two charges of distributing steroids to athletes.
Harkness was given two suspended 18-month sentences, fined $1,000 and ordered to reimburse the State Law Enforcement Division for $1,000 for the agency’s cost to bring him back to South Carolina from his native Canada.
Harkness, who was indicted with two other Clemson coaches last March, had been in Canada and could not be forced to return because the United States treaty with Canada does not cover misdemeanor charges.
Harkness, 26, was arrested when he flew to Pittsburgh to spend Christmas with his fiancee, Paige Sims, a senior at the University of West Virginia.
