IAAF clear way for Jones to lose medals

The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) have cleared the way for disgraced drugs cheat Marion Jones to be stripped of her Sydney Olympic Games medals by annulling all her results back to 2000.

The IAAF Council, which also imposed a two-year suspension, recommended to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) executive board that they disqualify Jones and the USA women’s 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams from the Sydney Games in 2000 and insist on the return of all medals.
