doping

There were three doping cases in this competition,

The two Americans Marion Jones, initially second, and Kelli White, initially seventh, as well as the Canadian Venolyn Clarke , eliminated in the quarter-finals, 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.

Also Zhanna Block , Ekaterini Thanou , and Chryste Gaines were banned later in their careers because of doping offenses. However, this did not affect the results of these world championships.

• One runner received her bronze medal after a long time and was unable to attend the award ceremony:
  • Chandra Sturrup ( Bahamas )
• Two runners, both from Nigeria , were not allowed to participate in the final:
  • Endurance Ojokolo - qualified fourth in the first semifinals by placing them
  • Mary Onyali - had qualified over her second semifinal time of 11.29 seconds
