Kenteris vows to return from 'crucifixion'

Fallen Greek hero Kostas Kenteris declared himself innocent as he left an Athens hospital today, facing questions from prosecutors, fellow Greeks and Olympics chiefs about his missed drug test and motorcycle accident.

“I am suffering a great injustice, and I want to say I never used banned substances,” defending 200 metres Olympic gold medallist Kenteris said as he got into a car and was driven away by a friend.
