History

Historical Context

In 2007 the IOC stripped Marion Jones of her five 2000 Sydney medals after USADA disqualified all results after September 1 2000. Her case mirrors a trend: since 2000 more than 150 Olympic medals have been revoked, and the 2008 Games saw 50 stripped. The 2022 Asian Games loss of Indian boxer Parveen Hooda for a WADA whereabouts breach led the Indian Olympic Association to tighten compliance.
