However, since Edwards was a teammate of Marion Jones in the 2000 Olympic 4×100 meters relay, she was stripped of her medal following Jones’s admission to using steroids during the games, though she and 6 other members of the 2000 team would successfully appeal this decision in July 2010.

She was banned for two years effective from July 18, 2004, missing the 2004 Summer Olympics. In August 2004, Edwards appealed the ban, and an arbitration panel acknowledged that Edwards “conducted herself with honesty, integrity and character … she has not sought to gain any improper advantage or to ‘cheat’ in any way.” In November 2005, her two-year ban was shortened to 15 months when the World Anti-Doping Agency downgraded nikethamide infractions to maximum one-year suspensions. The drug had come from pills she had taken at a meet in Martinique to combat a minor illness. Though arbitrators decided Edwards had taken the drug inadvertently, saying in their ruling that she had conducted herself with “honesty, integrity and character,” they did not overturn the suspension, because the glucose tablets given to her by her doctor contained a warning for athletes advising that the pills could cause a positive doping test. Therefore, Edwards did not take performance enhancement drugs to improve her performance.

Torri Edwards brings a wealth of experience, both as a coach and as a former world-class sprinter to the University of Kentucky track and field teams (2014 and 2015). She worked 2 seasons with the UK track and field programs.
