The Great Britain Men's 4 x 400m Relay team are to be awarded gold medals 13 years after they ran the race.

Roger Black, Jamie Baulch, Iwan Thomas and Mark Richardson were given silver medals at the 1997 World Championships, but when Antonio Pettigrew admitted taking drugs, the US team were stripped of their gold medals.

Apparently, they tried getting the original gold medals back, but haven't been able to, so the IAAF are to make a new set.
