Irina Privalova said she would not be happy to receive the Sydney Games 4x400 silver medal the Russians will get after Marion Jones confessed to using steroids.

Jones returned her medals last week after admitting she had used performance-enhancing drugs. Privalova was a member of the Russian team who finished third in the relay.

"No, I'm not happy at all to get that silver," Privalova, who is now retired, said.

"Marion's admission to drug use is a real tragedy for our sport."
