Greek chief wants sprint stars out

Greece’s sprint heroes Kostas Kenteris and Katerina Thanou should be thrown out of the Athens Olympics according to the president of their own federation.

A furious Lambis Nikolaou emerged from a marathon four-hour meeting of the Hellenic Olympic Committee executive to reveal the organisation had decided to pass the thorny problem of what to do about Kenteris and Thanou’s failure to take a routine drugs test on Thursday firmly back to the International Olympic Committee.
