- ^ On October 5, 2007 Marion Jones of the United States admitted to having taken performance enhancing drugs prior to the 2000 Summer Olympics. On October 9 she relinquished her medals to the United States Olympic Committee and on December 12, the International Olympic Committee formally stripped her of her medals. However, the IOC did not decide on re-awarding the medals as it said it needed 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 has also formally contacted the U.S. Department of Justice to seek information about its investigation of BALCO. IOC president Jacques Rogge in December said that the medals would be redistributed only when the IOC is convinced that the investigation will not reveal any further issues.
