doping
After the withdrawal of the gold medal of the British relay - decision of the IAAF in 2006 - as a result of a positive doping test of the British final runner Dwain Chambers in 2003, the following relays moved up one rank. Four years after the competitions, the Ukrainian relay was awarded the gold medal, the Polish relay the silver and the German relay the bronze medal:
Two seasons in particular were disadvantaged as a result:
- Germany - The team only received its medal four years late,
- Finland - The team would have been eligible to start in the final.
Preliminary round
August 10, 2002
The preliminary round was held in two runs. The first three seasons per run - highlighted in light blue - as well as the two fastest teams - highlighted in light green - qualified for the final.
