ATHENS: Greek sprinter Ekaterina Thanou has slammed the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) decision to delay a hearing on her participation in the Beijing Games until the eve of the opening ceremony.
The IOC informed Thanou’s legal team late on Thursday that the meeting, which was due to be made this weekend, would now take place on August 7.
Breaking a four-year silence to speak publicly at a press conference in Athens on Friday, Thanou, who served a two-year ban for missing a doping test on the eve of the Athens Games four years ago, also questioned the IOC’s motives.
“I will not now go to Beijing until August 13. If these issues didn’t exist I would already be there. I think this situation is unfair.
The first round of the women’s 100 metres is on August 16. — Reuters
