The photo above show Kelli White crossing the finishing line to take the 200m Gold at the 2003
World Athletics Championships in Paris. In May 2004 White admitted using performance enhancing
substances and was banned for two years. She was also stripped of her two Gold medals from the
championships as well as the two medals she won at the 2001 World Champs.
The results were therefore amended to just seven finalists with Anastasiya Kapachinskaya,
Torri Edwards & Muriel Hurtis taking the medals.
