doping

In this competition there were three doping-related disqualifications.

The two US-Americans Marion Jones , initially first, and Kelli White , initially third, as well as the Russian Yekaterina Leschtschowa were stripped of their placements due to doping offenses. The initially victorious US relay over 4 × 100 meters was later affected by the disqualification . Both Jones and Kelly were members of that team.

Several athletes were disadvantaged here:

• The medal winners received their precious metal a long time later.
  • Debbie Ferguson ( Bahamas ) - Gold
  • LaTasha Jenkins ( USA ) - silver. In addition, she was not able to take part in the award ceremony as she was initially fourth.
  • Cydonie Mothersill ( Cayman Islands ) - Bronze. She was also unable to take part in the award ceremony as she was initially fifth.
• Two runners were denied participation in the final, which was actually justified by their placements:
  • Damayanthi Dharsha ( Sri Lanka ) - Second place in the first semifinals
  • Mary Onyali ( Nigeria ) - Second in the third semifinals. She had already been denied the finals over 100 meters by two doping sinners.
• Two runners were denied participation in the semi-finals, which was actually justified by their placements:
  • LaDonna Antoine ( Canada ) - fourth place in the second heat
  • Lyubov Perepelova ( Uzbekistan ) - fourth place in the third heat
