Former American sprinter Antonio Pettigrew will return the Olympic relay gold medal he won in 2000 after admitting to doping during the Sydney Games.
Pettigrew came clean about using EPO and human growth hormone during last month’s trial involving former athletics coach Trevor Graham.
Graham was found guilty of lying to federal investigators about his relationship to a steroids dealer.
Pettigrew’s decision yesterday to give up the gold for the 4 x 400 relay was expected.
