(AP) - The doc tor who pleaded guilty to conspiring to illegally prescribe steroids to several Carolina Panthers was sentenced to one year and one day in prison. Dr. James Shortt pleaded guilty in March to one federal count of conspir acy to distribute anabolic steroids and human growth hormone. Prosecutors have said current and former members of the Carolina Panthers were some of Shortt’s patients. As part of the plea deal, prosecutors dropped 42 other counts against Shortt. Undros signs with Stars DALLAS (AP) - After years of high hopes and high drama, Eric Lindros signed a one-year bargain deal with the Dallas Stars. His arrival in Dallas is nothing like his anxiously awaited NHL debut in Philadelphia, his move to the New York Rangers or when he joined his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs last year. The 33-year-old played only 33 games last year because of a wrist problem. He’s also had eight concus sions, missing the entire 2000-01 season because of a hard hit by New Jersey’s Scott Stevens during a playoff game the season before.
