GENEVA — American sprinters who were stripped of their 2000 Olympic relay medals because teammate Marion Jones was doping won an appeal Friday to have them restored.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled in favor of the women.
Jearl Miles-Clark, Monique Hennagan, LaTasha Colander Clark and Andrea Anderson were part of the squad that won gold in the 1,600-meter relay. Chryste Gaines, Torri Edwards, Nanceen Perry and Passion Richardson were on the 400 bronze medal squad.
BP gets OK as sponsor
NEW YORK — IOC president Jacques Rogge said the IOC and London organizers are OK with BP’s sponsorship of the 2012 Summer Games despite the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico created by the oil giant.
“If a company would have been negligent, that’s another issue,” Rogge said.
