In brief: Track officials have more in store for Jones

Even though she’s handed back her Olympic medals, the shaming of Marion Jones isn’t over.

International Olympic and track and field officials are prepared to wipe her name from the record books, strip her of her world championship medals, pursue her for prize money and appearance fees and possibly ban her from future Olympics in any capacity.

After long denying she had used performance-enhancing drugs, Jones admitted Friday that she’d taken the designer steroid “the clear” from September 2000 to July 2001. On Monday, she returned her five Sydney Olympic medals.

“Former Olympic biathlon champion Myriam Bedard received two years’ probation in Quebec for violating a child custody order involving her daughter.

Bedard, 37, took her 12-year-old daughter to the U.S. last October without the consent of the father and stayed there nearly three months.

Bedard won two gold medals at the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics.
