IOC erases Jones’s name from records
LAUSANNE: The IOC formally stripped Marion Jones of her five Olympic medals on Wednesday, wiping her name from the record books following her admission that she was a drug cheat.
The International Olympic Committee also banned the disgraced American athlete from attending next year’s Beijing Olympics in any capacity and said it could bar her from all future Games.
Last month, the International Association of Athletics Federations erased all of Jones’s results dating to September 2000, but it was up to the IOC to formally disqualify her.
The decision was announced by IOC president Jacques Rogge at the end of a three-day executive board meeting. — AP
