SACRAMENTO, CALIF. ? A couple of sprinters who may be barred from the Athens Games because of positive drug tests sped into the men’s and women’s finals in the 200 meters Saturday at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials.

Torri Edwards, who faces a two-year ban if found guilty of using a banned stimulant, had the fastest time of 22.38 seconds in the semifinals of the women’s 200. She already has qualified for the Athens Games by placing second in the 100.

Mickey Grimes, who faces a lifetime ban if found guilty of a second drug violation, moved into the men’s 200 final by placing third in his semifinal.

If she gets to Athens, Edwards won’t be facing defending Olympic champion Marion Jones in the 200. Citing fatigue, Jones withdrew from the event Saturday.

Jones didn’t qualify in the 100, either, which means that as of now she won’t be defending either of her Olympic sprint titles at the Summer Games. She won the long jump at the Olympic trials, which also makes her eligible for the relays in Athens.

But a change in the 100 squad is possible because of Edwards’ drug case. If she loses her arbitration hearing set for Monday, Edwards could lose her place on the team.

That would move the fourth-place finisher at the trials, Gail Devers, onto the team. But Devers, who already has won two Olympic 100 titles, has always wanted to win a hurdles title and could skip the 100 to focus on the hurdles. In that case, the fifth-place finisher — Jones — would make the team.

U.S. Olympic women’s track coach Sue Humphrey said Devers will wait until after today’s hurdles final to decide whether to remain the alternate for the 100.

“If it happens that a lane opens up for whatever reason in Athens, you can be sure I will take advantage of it,” Jones said. “I will prepare for the next few weeks just in case that happens so I’m not surprised by the time I get to Athens.”

Marion Jones is escorted by security personnel after attending a press conference to announce she was pulling out of the women's 200-meter run at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials. Citing fatigue, Jones withdrew from the event Saturday in Sacramento, Calif.

Bryan Clay won the decathlon with 8,660 points, and world champion Tom Pappas was second with 8,517. Paul Terek won the third spot on the U.S. squad for Athens.

Monique Hennagan won the women’s 400, Melvin Lister captured the U.S. title in the men’s triple jump, and Breaux Greer won the men’s javelin. Tim Seaman won the men’s 20-kilometer race walk despite throwing up early in the race.
