IOC Strips Gold From 2000 US Relay Team (941 hits)


I feel extremely saddened by the news that, "The International Olympic Committee stripped gold medals Saturday from the U.S. men's 1,600-meter relay team that competed at the 2000 Olympics in the aftermath of Antonio Pettigrew's admission that he was doping at the time." Here is a link to the article: http://sports.iwon.com/news/08022008/v5674...
Any thoughts?

I wonder how the other team members are taking it.

How sad. What a slap in the face to the other members that worked so hard to receive the medal.

I blogged about this, too...and sadly, no one seemed to care. I think it's still a big deal because the legacy of greatness is being tainted for future generations.
