| The winning team |
Nigeria's been officially awarded the men's 4x400m relay gold medal from the 2000 Olympics on Saturday following a meeting of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board.
The statement read:
"Pettigrew was disqualified in August 2008 but the EB delayed a decision on reallocation until it had received information stemming from investigations into the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO) sports-doping scandal."

The Nigerians took the gold originally won by the United States, who have since been disqualified because of the late Antonio Pettigrew confessing to having been doped at the time of the Games.
Nigeria's now the 4x400m relay title winners with Jamaica taking silver and the Bahamas the bronze.
