Men Track and road events - The United States was initially stripped of the relay gold medal on July 18, 2004, after Young was deemed ineligible to have competed in Sydney due to doping violations. The medals were returned to all athletes, except Young, on July 22, 2005 when the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that the IAAF and IOC rules in 2000 did not call for the disqualification of an entire team due to the doping offenses of one athlete. Later, the medals were stripped again on August 2, 2008, after Pettigrew admitted to also using performance enhancing drugs. Pettigrew's individual results were also nullified.

The athletes appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which restored medals to all teammembers, except Jones, on July 16, 2010 because the IAAF and IOC rules in 2000 did not call for the disqualification of an entire team due to the doping offenses of one athlete.

Baseball was open only to male amateurs in 1992 and 1996. As a result, the Americans and other nations where professional baseball is developed relied on collegiate players, while Cubans used their most experienced veterans, who technically were considered amateurs as they nominally held other jobs, but in fact trained full-time. In 2000, pros were admitted, but the MLB refused to release its players in 2000, 2004, and 2008, and the situation changed only a little: the Cubans still used their best players, while the Americans started using minor leaguers. The IOC cited the absence of the best players as the main reason for baseball being dropped from the Olympic program.
