The Associated Press LONDON - The IOC opened an investigation Tuesday into doping allegations against Marion Jones, who could eventually be stripped of herfivemedalsfromthe 2000 Olympics. International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge set up a disciplinary commission to look into the claims made by Victor Conte, head of the California-based lab accused of illegally distributing steroids. Conte told ABC's "20/20" in a broadcast aired Friday that he gave Jones performanceenhancing drugs before and after the Sydney Olympics. He said he watched Jones injected herself with human growth hormone. "The allegations made by Mr. Conte are extremely serious and the IOC is fully committed to bringing to light any elements that will help the truth prevail," the IOC said in a statement Jones won three gold and two bronze track andfieldmedals in Sydney. She repeatedly has denied ever using banned drugs, and has threatened to sue Conte for defamation. Rogge advocates a "zero tolerance" policy on doping. World Anti-Doping Agency chief Dick Pound, a senior IOC member, has said Jones medals should be stripped if Conte is telling the truth. Any decision on the medals would be made by the IOC executive board. Last week, Rogge said it was too early to speculate about revoking the medals. "I hope the truth will emerge," he said. "We want the truth. We want to know what happened and the more we know, the better."
