Certain brands of rollers have magnetic and fan resistance units that you can add on. There's also the poor man's version of a resistance unit: a folded towel slipped under one of the rollers.

For hardcore sprint exercises, a trainer is generally better. It allows you to go much harder since you don't have to worry about the bike getting away from under you because of all the hard pedalling and side to side rocking.
