Hungarian Olympic water polo champions arrested
Policemen held Olympic water polo champions Zoltán Kósz and Zoltán Petőváry Friday morning on Alagút utca, in Budapest's First District, after the two resisted arrest when breath tests had shown that the driver Kósz had drunk alcohol to excess.
Budapest Prosecutor General's Office spokesman Attila Morvai said proceedings had been launched on suspicion of violence against officials. Budapest Police added that blood tests had also revealed that Kósz had been drinking.
