 CARSON, Calif. (AP) - Marion Jones grabbed her warmup clothes and walked off the track moments before the start of the 100-meter preliminaries at the U.S. track and field championships on Friday, a stunning exit for the woman who once dominated the event.
Moments later, Olympic gold medalist Justin Gatlin was disqualified from the men's 100 for a false start. However, Gatlin protested and was reinstated into the semifinals on a referee's decision.
It was a strange evening on Day 2 of the four-day meet that will determine the U.S. team at the world championships in Helsinki on Aug. 6-14.
