IOC withholds Jones' 100m gold from Thanou

LAUSANNE, Switzerland: It's time to rewrite the Olympic record books: There was no gold medal winner in the women's 100m at the 2000 Sydney Games.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Wednesday reallocated two individual medals stripped from Marion Jones for doping but, in an unprecedented move, withheld her 100m prize from Greek sprinter Katerina Thanou because of her "disgraceful" behavior in evading drug tests at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

The decision means the first two runners across the line in Sydney have been denied the winner's medal for doping violations and the gold in sprinting's marquee event will remain without an owner - believed to be a first in the 113-year history of the modern Olympics.
