SALVO (North Carolina): Disgraced sprinter Marion Jones (pic) has relinquished the five Olympic medals she won at the 2000 Sydney Games and accepted a two-year ban after admitting she used performance-enhancing drugs, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) said on Monday.
The medals three golds and two bronzes were turned over to the US Olympic Committee (USOC) on Monday and will be returned to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for awarding to the appropriate winners, USOC chief executive Jim Scherr told a teleconference.
