Criminal probe into fallen Greek sprint stars

A senior prosecutor launched an investigation today into two disgraced Greek sprinters who withdrew from the Athens Olympics after missing a drugs test and were involved in a mysterious motorcycle accident hours later.

Prosecutor Spyros Mouzakitis will supervise the inquiry into sprinters Kostas Kenteris and Katerina Thanou after being handed reports from the traffic police, a medical examiner and others, judicial officials said.
