IOC Disqualifies Jerome Young from Sydney Olympic 4x4

Jerome Young (USA) has been officially disqualified from the Men's 4x400m relay at the Sydney Olympic Games of 2000, and will be ordered to return his gold medal/diploma to the IOC.

The IOC's decision follows the findings of two separate CAS Panels (in 2004 and 2005) that upheld IAAF Rules in determining Mr. Young as ineligible for the Sydney event following his doping violation in June 1999. The IAAF Council had originally recommended to the IOC that the whole USA relay team be disqualified but CAS ruled against its recommendation in July of this year.
