An interesting statement was made yesterday by the USATF, the governing body of Track & Field for the United States, in response to the IAAF’s decision to annul all of Marion Jones marks from September 2000 and beyond:
USA Track & Field supports the fight against doping and efforts made to right the wrongs of the past. We understand that the fate of the relay results at the 2000 Olympic Games is a very complex matter, and we appreciate the care and consideration the IAAF has given it. We await the IOC’s decision in the matter.

The International Olympic Committee is now positioned to strip Marion Jones and her relay teammates of their Sydney Olympic Medals. If you just got back from an extended trip to the moon, you might not be aware that Marion Jones admitted to doping prior to the Sydney Olympic Games. If that’s the case, this article will catch you up.
