Olympics-Doping-IOC to bring case against Greek coach

ATHENS, Aug 29 (Reuters) - The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has presented a lawsuit against the coach of Greek 400-metre hurdler Fani Halkia, who tested positive for drugs during the Beijing Olympics, a lawyer for the IOC said on Friday.

Petros Mahas told Reuters the IOC had already presented its evidence to Greek prosecutors to bring charges against George Panagiotopoulos for breaking the country's anti-doping laws.
