Olga Vasdeki, the Greek triple jumper who has won medals at World and European championships is listed as one of the track & field athletes on the list of athletes who had dealings with BALCO Laboratories, the company that is imlicated in the latest steroid doping scandal.

There are some of big shot athletes on the list, including Marion jones and Zhanna Block.

Here is a related story from ESPN:

Wow, quite a list. Shocking also. But it is a global problem. Greece is no exception. If one would make a list for Kazachstan, Belarus, USA or or or or or (name one of the big countries) the reply would be several pages long.

You can add Athanasia Perra (Triple Jump) to the list of doped athletes. She was banned for 4 years (until 2021) after her 2009 sample was re-tested with new methods and it appears that she used a banned substance. Since she was already warned in 2002 by IAAF, the punishment was for 4 years instead of the customary 2 years.

Bad news here for Ioannis Kyriazis
It is reported that he may have taken banned substance while competing in the United States. 
He is banned temporarily until the investigation has been completed. 
This could be a big blow for the future of Greek men's javelin throw.

Well he is serving a four year ban for his doping offense. He has 3 years left before he can compete again. I read an interview with him recently and claims that he is innocent and that he will return to competition after he serves his ban.

SEGAS has reported that an unnamed thrower has test positive for banned substance during the national championships. If the 2nd sample is positive than the athlete and his coach will face the prospect of a 4-year ban. The athlete in question was not part of the Olympic team.

  • Blackhawk changed the title to Doped Greek Athletes in Track Field

I updated the list at the top of the thread to include Ourania Rebouli, who was punished in in 2018.

As for the latest case, it appears to be a thrower that competes on a team based in Thessaloniki. My guess is one of the following: Zotos, Mouzenidis, Latiflari.

Turns out that Zotos is the athlete found to be doped. Zotos (and his coach) will have to serve a 4-year ban from competitions. He will be 29 years old when he is able to compete again. My prediction is that he will drop out of the sport.

Kyriazis came back to competition with 75.90 meters in javelin.

In other doping news, distance runner Kostas Gelaouzos will serve a 4-year ban for a doping offense. He will be eligible to return to competition in November of 2026.
