Jones cleared
RALEIGH (North Carolina), Sept 7: Former triple Olympic champion Marion Jones was cleared of doping on Wednesday after her 'B' sample tested negative for the banned blood-boosting drug EPO. Jones's initial sample had tested positive for erythropoietin at the US championships in Indianapolis in June. Had the second sample tested positive, the 30-year-old would have faced a two-year ban from the sport. “I am absolutely ecstatic,” Jones said in a statement. —Reuters
