Athens Oly 2004: Fazekas played truant
Robert
Fazekas,
Discus,
Hungary:
He
won
the
gold
medal
in
2004
Athens
Oly.
It
wasn't
news
because
he
was
favourite
and
did
it
with
minimum
of
competition.
He
made
news
for
wrong
reasons
for
he
refused
to
provide
the
required
amount
of
drug
sample
after
the
event
fearing
the
failure.
The
million
dollar
question
was:
Was
it
a
case
of
not
producing
sufficient
urine
sample
or
a
delebrate
ploy
to
avoid
ignominy.
Only
god
and
Fazekas
know
it.
Whatever
the
reason
Fazekas' act
amounts
to
drug
offence.
He
was
stripped
of
the
gold
medal
and
was
duly
handed
to
Virgilijus
Alekna.
Fazekas
personal
best
is
71.70m-
the
fifth
longest
discus
throw
ever.
