Correction

In a story headlined "Ukrainian scientist details secret Soviet research project on steroids" (November 9), the president of the State University of Physical Education and Sport in Kyiv in 1972 was incorrectly listed as Vladimir Platonov. In fact, the president of the university at that time was Vladimir Parfenov. In 1972 Mr. Platonov was the chairman of the swimming department and it is believed he would not have known about the Soviet research report cited in the story. Mr. Platonov became the president of the university in 1986.
