LONDON (AP) — The IOC is ready to move quickly to strip Marion Jones of her five Olympic medals following her reported doping confession — although her most prized gold could wind up going to a runner involved in a major drug scandal herself.

The International Olympic Committee said Friday it will step up its investigation into the Jones case and the possible removal of her three gold and two bronze medals from the 2000 Sydney Games.

"We welcome that there is now some light to be shed on the whole affair," IOC vice president Thomas Bach told The Associated Press. "Now, with this admission, we can accelerate and speed up the procedures."
