The Nigerian team finished second behind theUS team. The US team has since been formally disqualified from the 4 × 400 meters relay event at the 2000 Olympics by theInternational Olympic Committee, due to team memberAntonio Pettigrew's use of illegal performance-enhancing drugs while competing in Sydney.[2]
On 21 July 2012, the 2000 Olympics 4 × 400 m relay medals were reallocated after the USA team was stripped of the gold medal, meaning Awazie and Nigeria are the gold medalists.
