Dvorak doubt for Athens
Czech decathlete Tomas Dvorak could be forced to withdraw from the Olympics due to an Achilles tendon problem.
The former world record holder took bronze in the Atlanta Games in 1996 and was sixth in Sydney four years ago.
"It's hurting. I need time to treat it and that's something I don't have a lot of," Dvorak told Czech newspaper Sport.
"The scenario haunting me is that the closest I'll get to the Olympics is watching them on television. But I haven't made a firm decision yet."
