Olympic Games: New positive doping test in the Greek track and field team

Unfortunately, the Greek Olympic track and field team is once again making headlines for negative reasons, as SEGAS (the Hellenic Athletics Federation) reported a positive doping test from a team member. This is the second positive test after the first one that emerged before the team's departure from Athens

Newsroom August 5 10:07

The process is identical to the first case (where the athlete was informed before the team traveled to Paris) with the difference that the athlete who tested positive has competed but is no longer participating in the Games.

She was the first to be informed along with SEGAS and the Hellenic Olympic Committee. The notification occurred before she competed, and if she had advanced in the Games, she would not have been allowed to compete in the final. She could have chosen not to compete in the preliminary round but opted to do so despite being informed of the positive test result. She faces a four-year ban, missing the next Olympic Games as well.

There is significant turmoil within the Greek delegation in the Olympic Village, as the athlete confided in her teammates about the positive test, and naturally, the news spread quickly.

SEGAS is currently in a state of shock as this is the second doping incident in a very short period, and according to the law, it risks losing a significant portion of state funding.

There is also unrest within the Hellenic Olympic Committee as it faces international disgrace due to the positive doping case during the Olympic Games.
