This is the most ridiculous story I have ever heard! 1. Why is the Prosecutor's Office even involved in this matter? This matter should be up to the agency that conducts the Tests (IOC) to investigate, and not for Greece to spend any more money on this issue. Let the IOC or the International Track-and-Field Federation investigate it. And then, once they issue their findings, if there is any evidence of any criminal wrong-doing, then the Prosecutor should get involved at that time and not before. Those are the rules and I do not find it right that the Prosecutor of Greece is jumping the gun here and being so quick to condemn! Let the IOC do the dirty work for them and not our own people! For shame! 2. You mean to tell me that no one actually suspected that Kenteris and/or Thanou could actually be taking any performance enhancement drug? I mean, come on here people, I knew the moment Kenteris won his Gold Medal in Sydney in 2000 that he must be on some kind of steroid. I mean, really, folks, are we actually that stupid? Please, do not insult my intelligence!!! 3. I wish these athletes would start acting like adults and not children. 4. I wish the IOC testers would not have "conveniently" chosen a test date of August 12th, the day before the opening ceremonies, to test our athletes. You mean to tell me that they could not have tested them for these games earlier? How convenient is this! I mean, really, folks, after Greece having spent the billions of euros to host the damn games, could they not have had the decency to test these guys beforehand and not put Greece through the agonizing scandal? Where is the responsibility lie there? I call upon the IOC to show some class. 5. I am disgusted why so much has been made of this matter in the first place. All they did is miss a test, not actually get caught. It's funny how everyone quickly runs to "tar and feather" these athletes. It's funny! One day we hail them as victors and the next day we slowly cook them over a fire. My advice to Fani Halkia - Watch out! 6. Who the heck is going to pay for this expensive fiasco in the first place!? Come on, people, this is sport - Games - Play!! It ain't life and death! |
