Pual,

1st of all Greece will be at the Olympics because even if they get a Country wide bann they will just pay the IWF $23,500. per positive drug test for the 11 positive athlete same thing IRAN did after IWF banned them.

They will be no third spot......Greece will send their next lifters in line...also some of the 11 Greek lifters that tested positive were not on their Olympic team and were B team members.

Hope that helps...my opinion but it will be fact..it happens over and over........

Now if these lifters were positive during world championships and they were in any weight classes that if they are removed a USA lifter moves up it would give the USA more points and could gain us a spot that way......however I do not believe they tested positive at worlds...I think these were out of contest tests.
