Disgraced Jones has track marks erased

UNION-TRIBUNE

November 24, 2007
The International Association of Athletics Federation yesterday annulled all of Marion Jones' results dating to September 2000, including Olympic and world championship titles, because of doping.

It also told her to return an estimated $700,000 in prize money from that period and recommended that Jones' relay teammates lose their medals from the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.

A man who answered the phone at Jones' home in Austin, Texas, said she had no comment.

The IAAF council also upheld the two-year ban imposed on Jones by U.S. officials. She retired last month after pleading guilty to lying to federal agents in 2003. Jones admitted she had unknowingly used anabolic steroids.

Jones, 32, already returned three gold and two bronze medals from the 2000 Olympics. Also in jeopardy are two gold and a silver from the 2001 World Championships.

Little, though, figures to change in terms of the IAAF's all-time performance lists. Most of Jones' best marks came before 2000 – including 10.65 seconds in the 100 metersand 21.62 in the 200, both in 1998.

And the IAAF does not sound hopeful about retrieving the $700,000. Jones declared personal bankruptcy earlier this year.

“We will ask for the money to be paid back,” IAAF General Secretary Pierre Weiss said. “But we won't dream.”
