The ex-husband of Marion Jones, Jerome Young, was yet another victim of steroid use and was given a life time ban from competing at track and field events.

Jerome Young (born: August 14, 1976) in Clarendon, Jamaica, attended high school in Hartford, Connecticut at Prince Technical, is a sprint athlete. His reputation as a sprinter has been tarnished as he was caught doping in 1999 casting suspicious shadows over his entire track & field career. Jerome was one of many athletes caught cheating via usage of performance enhancing drugs in what is now being considered the decade of steroids in sports (1993-2003). At the height of olympic committee steroid investigations, several other athletes (Michael Johnson, Maurice Greene, Donovan Bailey etc...) have conveniently retired from the track field stage leaving many drug abuse investigators forever apprehensive concerning the veracity and reliability of the marks they have all left in stadiums across the globe.
In 1995, as a senior in high school, Jerome set a Connecticut state record of 45.01 in the 400. Jerome was part of the world record breaking 4 x 400 metres relay team in 1998 along with Michael Johnson, Antonio Pettigrew, and Tyree Washington.

On June 29 2004 the IAAF announced the following:

The Court of Arbitration of Sport has decided that the Doping Appeal Board of USATF reached an erroneous decision when exonerating Jerome Young of a doping offence and that, accordingly,

Jerome Young did indeed commit a Doping Offence on 26 June 1999. Jerome Young currently resides in Raleigh, NC as a sprinting coach at Millbrook High School. Jerome also teaches special education at the high school.

Young ran in the opening heat and semifinal round of the relay in the 2000 Olympics. Michael Johnson anchored the team in the final to win the last of his 14 Olympic and world championship gold medals. Other members of the team were Antonio Pettigrew, Angelo Taylor, and twin brothers Alvin and Calvin Harrison.

Because of this dilemma, the team's gold medal from the Olympic Games were revoked.
