Wouldn't imagine so.The real worry, as I understand the story from my Greek father-in-law,
is what state Athens will be in at Olympics-time. They're hustling from
behind schedule on myriad projects, basically relying on the Greek habit
of finishing at the last minute to pull things through.What this will mean is that security should be excitingly paranoid for
the Olympics.--

Well if the US is a no show, maybe the rest of the world will enjoy the
Olympics due to how hated we are now.Oh yeah, what does this have to do with cycling?

Right. It's got nothing at all to do with cycling.
Why?
Coz eveybody knows that cyclists are such drugged up Wankerz (just ask the modern day Shylocks) that the IOC, despite pleas by cycling's biggest booster, [censored] (by Name and Nature) Pound to reconsider, have cancelled all the cycling events at this year's Jingoistic Junket.
So who cares who the Tin-Pot roof falls on (supposing it ever gets installed in the first place).

Not a problem; didn't anybody tell you that the search parties are still out for about a dozen coureurs who were unlucky enough to fall into the potholes in the roads in the 1996 Tour de France?

It would mean no medal chances for Lance or any other american cyclists.
Happy about that? I'm not.curt said:

Happy about that? I'm not.No I am not happy about that, but I do feel we will not go. We are just not
in harmony with the rest of the world right now.People are worried about the Greeks being ready, but I don't think they will
have a problem. I just can't help but to be concerned for certain countries
athletes if they go.Curt

be providing additional security.Still, these were three bombs outside a Police Station in central
Athens. You'd think they would at least have some kind of surveilence
system which would pick up the activity. -
