Caught Using
</hdr><body>
<p>By Alexander Tresniowski/Reported by Wendy Cole
</p>
<p> He is one of the swiftest men in baseball, the National
League's leading base stealer, but last week Otis Nixon
stumbled. The Atlanta Braves' catalytic lead-off hitter tested
positive for cocaine use and was suspended for 60 days and all
post-season play. It was a shocking setback for Nixon, who had
passed more than 200 drug tests since a 1987 drug arrest, and
also for the Braves, at battling for first place after finishing
last a season ago. Poetically, Nixon's replacement in the lineup
is Lonnie Smith, a former cocaine user.
