INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The former agent for disgraced sprinter Marion Jones has been suspended by USA Track & Field for two years.

The penalty dates to March 22, when Charles Wells pleaded guilty to bank fraud in a money laundering case that also ensnared Jones, her ex-boyfriend sprinter Tim Montgomery and her former coach Steve Riddick.

The suspension was ordered by the agents screening committee, USATF spokeswoman Jill Geer said Friday.
