American Marion Jones's 200 gold medal and long jump bronze from the 2000 Sydney Olympics were reallocated by the International Olympic Committee on Wednesday.

Jones was stripped in 2007 of her 100, 200 and 4x400 gold medals and her long jump and 4x100 bronzes after admitting using banned drugs. She served a six-month jail sentence for lying to federal prosecutors about her steroid use.
