Nigerian Quartet Won and Should Get Deserved Gold Medal for 4X400 Relay As American Marion Jones is Indicted for Drug Use

Quote:

As Jones returned her medals to United States Olympic Committee, (USOC), its Chairman, Peter Ueberrot said that her team-mates in the relay should equally return theirs as the whole race was tainted, even though there is a precedent for not punishing an entire team.

The US 4x400 relay team at the same Sydney 2000 Olympics were also embroiled in a drug mess when one of them, Jerome Yong was indicted for steroid use but instead of stripping them of the gold medal and handing it to the Nigerian quartet led by Eniofiok Udo-Obong who placed second, only the guilty Young was stripped of his.
