List of 2000 Summer Olympics Medal Winners - Notes

Notes

1. ^ a b c On 5 October 2007 Marion Jones of the United States admitted to having taken the performance enhancing drug tetrahydrogestrinone from September 2000 through July 2001. Four days later she relinquished her medals to the United States Olympic Committee, and on 12 December the International Olympic Committee formally stripped her of her medals. The IOC has not yet re-awarded the medals as it said it needs more time to consider the drug probe in which Jones was caught. The IOC said the upgrades following the disqualification of Jones would not be automatic as the scandal involving the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative may also involve other athletes. The IOC said that the medals would be redistributed only when it is convinced that the investigation will not reveal any further issues, but the eight-year statute of limitations expired on 1 October 2008,. The IOC did not initially decide to regrade the results, as Silver medalist Ekaterini Thanou had herself been subsequently involved in a doping scandal in the run-up to the 2004 Summer Olympus. After two years of deliberation, in late 2009 the IOC decided to upgrade Lawrence and Ottey to silver and bronze respectively, and leave Thanou as a silver medallist, with the gold medal withheld.
2. ^ a b On 12 December 2007, due to her admittance of drug taking, the IOC disqualified Marion Jones and stripped her of her women's 4×100m and 4×400m relay medals, but it did not disqualify the U.S. relay teams. On 10 April 2008, the IOC decided to disqualify both U.S. relay teams and asked for Jones' teammates' medals to be returned. The IOC said it would offer her teammates a hearing to make their case for keeping their medals. On 16 July 2010, the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld the athletes' appeal and overturned the IOC's decision.
3. ^ On 22 May 2008, American Antonio Pettigrew admitted that he used banned performance enhancers between 1997 and 2001, He returned his 4×400 metre relay gold medal the following month, On 2 August 2008 the IOC formally stripped the entire U.S. Men's 4×400 metre relay team of their gold medals. The IOC stated that a decision on reallocating the medals of those affected by these decisions will be made at a later date, but the eight-year statute of limitations has since expired, and the medal positions remained vacant. Medals reawarded in 2012.
4. ^ The IOC Report states that Oana Pantelimon of Romania finished fourth in the women's high jump, even though she was actually awarded a bronze medal.
5. ^ After originally being awarded the gold medal in the Women's flyweight class of weightlifting, Bulgarian Izabela Dragneva was later disqualified after she tested positive for furosemide.
6. ^ Bantamweight weightlifter Ivan Ivanov of Bulgaria originally won the silver medal but was disqualified after he tested positive for furosemide.
