Greeks' Day of Triumph Turns to Day of Controversy: "Greece's most celebrated athletes threw the country into a tailspin, refusing to testify in a disciplinary hearing a day after missing a drug test. Kostas Kenteris and Katerina Thanou, both sprinters, remained in an Athens hospital with injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident Thursday night. They did not appear at the International Olympic Committee hearing investigating their failure to show up for a scheduled doping test at the Olympic Village on Thursday. "

I have a feeling this is going to be a wild Olympics. I prefer the Winter Games and really only casually watch the Summer Games, but I may tune in more often this year just to see what the heck is going to go wrong next.
