The IOC has decided to strip medals from Marion Jones' relay team members from the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The athletes on Jones' 4x400m relay team will lose their gold medal and 4 x100m team will surrender their bronze medals.

The US Olympic Committee has said it will accept the IOC's decision but will not block the relay team athletes in attempts to appeal the decision.

I really dont care Jones used performance enhancing drugs, and I dont care she got her medals stripped. What sucks is her teammates are being punished.

Agreed. I wonder what they'd do to her in a closed room wearing their track spikes.
