Notes

↑ On August 2 2008 the International Olympic Committee formally stripped the US team of their gold medals following the admission of Antonio Pettigrew that he had been using performance-enhancing drugs while competing in Sydney and subsequently returned his medal. A decision on reallocating the medals and diplomas of those affected by these decisions will be made at a future meeting of the IOC Executive Board.[1] If each finisher is moved up one position, the medals would be re-awarded as follows:
1. Nigeria
  Clement Chukwu
  Jude Monye
  Sunday Bada
  Enefiok Udo-Obong - 2:58.68
2. Jamaica
  Michael Blackwood
  Greg Haughton
  Christopher Williams
  Danny McFarlane - 2:58.78
3. Bahamas
  Avard Moncur
  Troy McIntosh
  Carl Oliver
  Chris Brown - 2:59.23
↑ ^2.0 ^2.1 ^2.2 On October 5 2007 Marion Jones of the United States admitted to having taken performance enhancing drugs prior to the 2000 Summer Olympics. On October 9 she relinquished her medals to the United States Olympic Committee and on December 12, the International Olympic Committee formally stripped her of her medals. However, the IOC did not decide on re-awarding the medals as it said it needed more time to consider the drug probe in which Jones was caught. The IOC said the upgrades following the disqualification of Jones would not be automatic as the scandal involving the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative may also involve other athletes. The IOC has also formally contacted the U.S. Department of Justice to seek information about its investigation of BALCO. IOC president Jacques Rogge in December said that the medals would be redistributed only when the IOC is convinced that the investigation will not reveal any further issues.
↑ ^3.0 ^3.1 On November 23, 2007, the IAAF recommended to the IOC Executive Board to disqualify the USA women's 4x100 m and 4x400 m relay teams after Marion Jones admitted to having taken performance enhancing drugs prior to the Games. On December 12, the IOC disqualified Jones and stripped her of her relay medals but it did not disqualify the U.S. relay teams. On April 10, 2008, the IOC disqualified both U.S. relay teams and asked for Jones' teammates' (Chryste Gaines, Torri Edwards and Nanceen Perry) medals to be returned.[2] France (Linda Ferga, Muriel Hurtis, Fabe Dia, Christine Arron) finished fourth in the 4×100 m relay in a time of 42.42. Nigeria (Olabisi Afolabi, Opara Charity, Rosemary Okafor, Falilat Ogunkoya-Osheku) finished fourth in the 4×400 m relay in a time of 3:23.80.
