ATHLETICS | Greek pole vaulter Polak handed provisional suspension

Greek pole vaulter Eleni-Klaoudia Polak was disqualified from the Olympics and handed a provisional suspension at the Paris Games after she tested positive for banned substances, the IOC said on Wednesday.

The Greek Olympic Committee said on Tuesday that one member of its team was expelled from the athletes' village but her identity was previously unknown.

The team had been informed of the violation by Greece's anti-doping agency on Monday, the same day she competed in the qualification round.

Polak cleared a height of 4.20 metres but did not reach Wednesday's final as she failed to get over 4.40. She was listed as "DQ" in the results.

Polak said she was innocent of any wrongdoing.

"A few days ago something was found in my sample," she told reporters in the mixed zone after competing in the preliminary round on Monday.

"I have never taken supplements or protein. It was below the level of what is banned so that is why I competed. I have an issue with iron and have to eat red meat daily and that must have been in the meat. I only know that the meat contained that substance." (Reuters)

ATHLETICS | Portugal's Pichardo sails through triple jump qualifiers

Portugal's Pedro Pichardo looked casual in a backward cap as he cruised through triple jump qualifiers, ready to defend his Olympic gold in Friday's final against challengers including Spain's Jordan Diaz and Burkina Faso's Hugues Fabrice Zango.

Pichardo leapt 17.44 metres on his first attempt, the best jump of the night and easily clearing the 17.10 qualifying standard.

Diaz had a confident start too on his Olympic debut, kicking off with a 17.24 jump. The 23-year-old, who was born in Cuba but moved to Spain to train and became a national, holds the world lead this year and looks to be the biggest threat to Pichardo.

Diaz leapt 18.18 metres, the third best jump of all time and just 11cm short of the world record, in Rome in June - beating Pichardo's 18.04 at the same event. (Reuters)
