The 33-year-old Greek sprinter had also missed the 2004 Games.
Beijing: Controversial Greek sprinter Ekaterina Thanou was excluded from the Olympic Games on Sunday after the IOC refused to accredit her.
The 33-year-old missed the 2004 edition after she and fellow sprinter Kostadinos Kenteris missed an eve of Games dope test - their third in a year.
The pair claimed they had had a motorbike accident on the way back to the village to undergo the test and the air has never been cleared.
Thanou was a 100m silver medalist in Sydney 2000.
The IOC summoned Thanou to a disciplinary hearing Sunday, which she and her legal team boycotted. The IOC Executive Board then decoded to bar her.
