MaryCas, coming from a small country not used to sporting success myself, I feel really sorry for ordinary Greek sports fans. We in Irleand had to go through the debacle of swimmer Michelle Smith in 1996.

But looking at the bigger picture the battle against drugs in sport is bigger than any individual and country. I don't think we'll ever get rid of all the cheats but we must try to get rid of as many as possible no matter what country they come from. Track and Field sports have a huge credibility problem so I'm glad we have got rid of the prospect of these two running.
