The Olympics open in Athens amid a row over drugs. Two Greek star athletes, Kostas Kenteris and Katerina Thanou, miss a drug test in the Olympic Village on Aug 12. The investigation by the Greek prosecutors is one of many that Kenteris is facing. The two others are one by the IOC - through their disciplinary commission - and one by the International Association of Athletics Federations. The IOC is set to issue a verdict today. Their prospects look bleak. What's more, nobody seems to be turning out to watch the Games.
