Medal table
The ranking in this table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee.[1]
The ranking sorts by the number of gold medals earned by a country—in this context, an entity represented by a National Olympic Committee. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically.

| 26 September 2000 | Gymnastics Individual all-around |
| −1 | −1 | During the Games, Romanian gymnast Andreea Răducan won the gold in women's artistic individual all-around, so she stripped her gold medal after she tested a banned positive substance. As so, her teammates Simona Amânar and Maria Olaru, originally won silver and bronze, upgraded to gold and silver, respectively. While Chinese gymnast Liu Xuan moved up to bronze.[2] | |||

| 5 October 2007 | Athletics Women's 100 metres |
| −1 | −1 | American Marion Jones was stripped of her 3 gold and 2 bronze medals by the International Olympic Committee, after confessing that she had taken the anabolic steroid tetrahydrogestrinone before competing in Sydney.[4][5] The women's 100 metres gold medal has not been reallocated, because the presumed recipient, Ekaterini Thanou of Greece, was given a two-year ban for doping just before the 2004 Summer Olympics. After years of deliberations the IOC decided to upgrade 3rd and 4th placed athletes to silver and bronze, while not upgrading Thanou. Jones' teammates on the relay teams had their medals reinstated due to the fact that, according to the rules at the time, a team should not be stripped of a medal because of a doping offense by one athlete.[6] | |||
