Greek sprinters Costas Kenteris and Katerina Thanou, who were to testify in court on charges of missing doping tests before last year’s Athens 2004 Summer Olympic Games, were granted a further postponement Friday, reports Reuters.
Both face criminal charges over avoiding three drug tests and staging a motorcycle accident that left them in hospital for four days.
The two were initially due to appear before the investigative magistrate in May.
Lawyer Michalis Dimitrakopoulos told Reuters, “Mr. Kenteris asked and was granted a postponement but the new date when he will testify has not been determined yet. Ms. Thanou will ask and receive a postponement later today”.
If found guilty by the court, the sprinters could received suspended jail sentences of a few days.
