Costas Kenteris and Katerina Thanou Face Lighter Sentences

Doping-linked Greek sprinters Costas Kenteris and Katerina Thanou are facing reduced sentences if convicted in a perjury trial.
The Sydney Olympic medalists are on trial, accused of faking a motorcycle accident on the eve of the Athens Games in 2004 after missing a doping test that led to their sporting suspension. The perjury charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
Public persecutor Giorgos Petrou urged the court Tuesday to reduce their sentence if convicted, accusing their coach Christos Tzekos of being primarily responsible.
A panel of three judges is expected to issue its ruling next week.
