Greek sprinters appeal sentence

GREEK sprinters Costas Kenteris and Katerina Thanou were sentenced to a suspended 31-month jail term yesterday, meaning they will not likely serve time in prison despite being found guilty of faking a motorcycle accident on the eve of the 2004 Olympics. The Sydney Olympic medalists immediately appealed the sentences. Kenteris and Thanou claimed they were involved in the motorcycle accident after missing a doping test on the eve of the 2004 Athens Games. "The court finds that this accident never occurred," presiding judge Dimitris Lefkos said, while reading out the verdict.
