Marion Jones's Sydney medals to be reallocated

Marion Jones's Sydney Olympic individual sprint and long jump medals will be reallocated this week but her 100m gold will not be given to Greece's Katerina Thanou due to her own involvement in doping. A senior IOC source told Reuters on Tuesday that its Executive Board, meeting on Wednesday and Thursday, would upgrade athletes in the 100m and 200m sprints as well as the long jump, in which Jones won bronze, but would not reallocate her 100m gold medal.
