United States sprinter, Sanya Richards, says the prospect of losing the first of her two Olympic gold medals, because of a teammate\'s doping, is heartbreaking.
The Jamaican-born Richards says the United States team\'s 4 by 400-metre relay victory at the 2004 Athens Games was special, because it was her Olympic debut.
Now the individual 400m world champion, Richards, says she\'s praying that the five Athens teammates of Crystal Cox, whose doping offenses came to light in January, can eventually keep their title and medals.
