Games can survive drugs scandal - Rogge

Olympic supremo Jacques Rogge has claimed the Games are big enough to survive the possible expulsion of the host nation’s athletics hero.

Reigning 200m champion Kostas Kenteris and women’s 100m silver medallist Katerina Thanou are awaiting the results of an IOC disciplinary hearing ordered by the governing body’s president Rogge to investigate the pair’s failure to take a routine drugs test in the Games Village last night.
