Winner Marion Jones (USA) was disqualified by rule 40.8. Chryste Gaines (USA) is Rightful finalist in place of Jones.
Jones came to Sydney unbeaten all year, but with the pressure of attempting to win five gold medals and dealing with the recent drugs disqualification of her then husband CJ Hunter. Showing a chilling level of focus considering the circumstances, she erupted to a 10.83
clocking in the second round, finishing almost 2m clear of Thánou, one
of her most serious opponents. The following day, Jones won her semi-
final in 11.01 (-1.1) from Thánou (11.10), while Ottey, in her fifth
Olympic Games and aged 40, won the other heat in 11.22 (-0.5).
Jones took the lead at the 25m mark in the final and overwhelmed
the opposition, winning by 4m. Behind her, Thánou took silver, while
Lawrence edged out Ottey on the line by 0.01 for the bronze medal.
The apparent margin of victory of 0.37 was the second largest-ever
after Marjorie Jackson’s 0.38 in 1952. It was Jones’s most comprehen-
sive win of her 11 finals in 2000, and the first of three golds and five
medals won by her in Sydney.
In October 2007, Marion Jones confessed to doping violations dating
back to just before the 2000 Olympic Games. The following month, the
IAAF Council annulled all of her results since September 1, 2000. In
December 2007, the IOC Executive Board decided to disqualify Jones
from all events in which she had competed at the 2000 Games. No
appeal was filed by Jones against this decision, indeed she returned all
five of her Sydney medals. The IOC requested that the IAAF “postpone
any further adjustment of results until further notice”. IOC President
Jacques Rogge had in the meantime explained “This is not going to be
merely an automatic upgrade. Every potentially upgraded athlete will
be scrutinised on her merit. We want to upgrade athletes that we know
are absolutely clean.”
It was not until December 2009 that the IOC Executive Board real-
located Jones’s individual medals. Her 200m gold and long jump
bronze went to those women who finished directly behind her, but this
was not the case for the 100m where the runner-up was Thánou, who
by then had served a two-year doping suspension to 2006. The IOC
spokesman Mark Adams explained that Thánou “disgraced herself and
the Olympic movement by avoiding three doping tests ... she admitted
anti-doping violations when she accepted a two-year suspension from
the IAAF. The rankings in the actual race are a matter for the IAAF, and
they are changed, but the actual awarding of any medal is not a right.
Therefore, in this case, it will not happen. It is felt that with her con-
duct, she did not deserve to be honoured with this recognition.”
Therefore, though Thánou effectively won the race, her reward
remained the silver she originally won behind Jones. The Jamaicans
Lawrence and Ottey were however elevated to silver and bronze.
Which means that the title of 2000 Olympic 100m Champion is vacant,
there are two silver medallists, and Ottey’s total of Olympic medals
rises to a women’s record total of nine.
