Jones`s downfall may give Ottey ninth Olympic medal

Jamaican-born sprinter Merlene Ottey could add to her record tally of eight Olympic medals thanks to the fall from grace of U.S. rival Marion Jones.

Jones, who won the 100 metres gold at the 2000 Sydney Games ahead of fourth-placed Ottey, last week admitted to taking steroids and has returned her medals to the U.S. Olympic Committee.
