Doping
United States sprinter Crystal Cox, who initially was listed as winner of the women's 200m in 23.02s, was tested positive for ephedrine in the competition, a prohibited substance under the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) rules. Therefore, she was issued a public warning by the United States Anti-Doping Agency and was disqualified from her first-place finish in the 200 meters.[7] The incident is also reported on the USA Track & Field website[8] and considered in their published results list.[5]
In connection with investigations in the BALCO doping conspiracy, Crystal Cox has accepted a four-year suspension and disqualification of her athletic results, beginning on November 3, 2001, for using anabolic agents and hormones over a period from 2001 through 2004 in violation of the International Association of Athletics Federations Anti-Doping Rules.[9][10] However, in a separate statement, she felt to be forced to sign the sanctions although being innocent.[11]
In consequence, her silver medal in the 400 metres (51.63s) and the gold medal in the 4 × 400 metres relay (in 3:30.60 together with Marie Woodward, Chantee Earl, and Sasha Spencer) should have been forfeited.
