Andreea Raducan has been stripped of her all round gold medal for testing positive for pseudo-ephedrine. The drug was in the cough medicine which was prescibed to her by the Romanian team doctor. Raducan will still be able to keep her other medals but the all round medal and title will be stripped from her. The Romanian team doctor now faces penalties.

Just several hours during AA finals, Romania won all three medals (gold, silver and bronze) With Andreea Raducan winning the AA title!
It has been a clean sweep for Romania and a disapointing day for Svetlana Khorkina who was leading during the first two rotations only to be knocked out on her third rotation on Vault.
Her prospective gold medal hopes shatted when she fell on her first vault. At the fourth rotation, Khorkina fell in her routine once again this time, on her bars. Aussie gymnast Lisa Skinner was in third place
after the third rotation and ended up finishing 9th AA.

The Sydeny 2000 Olympic Games has commenced and the Aussies bronze medal hopes disappeared during the prelims when several vaults were not stuck. Australians were shock to see that their National Champion Allana Slater had fallen on both her vaults as well as a simple full pivot on the beam. Nevertheless, both Lisa Skinner and Allana Slater qualified for the All-round Final
