Lausanne, Switzerland ? Marion Jones’ relay teammates will get a chance to argue their case for keeping their Olympic medals. Greek sprinter Katerina Thanou will have to wait a few more months to learn whether she gets Jones’ 100-meter gold.

The IOC executive board is expected to strip Jones formally of her medals Wednesday, wiping her name from the record books.

However, the IOC needs more time to study the legal and ethical issues of reshuffling the medals – a process that could affect the medal status of 43 other athletes from eight nations.
