Early hearing for alleged drug cheat Greek athletes

THE Greek Athletics Federation are adamant there will be an early tribunal for alleged drug cheats Kostas Kenteris and Katerina Thanou.

The Greek federation (SEGAS) have announced the two - who were Olympic medal-winning sprinters four years ago - will face a disciplinary hearing early in the new year.

Kenteris - 200metres gold medallist in Sydney where Thanou was runner-up in the 100m - has, like his compatriot, denied all charges levelled at him of deliberately missing three out-of-competition drug tests.
