LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Tim Montgomery was suspended Tuesday for two years for doping, and the 100-meter world record he once held was wiped from the books.

Another U.S. sprinter implicated in the BALCO scandal, two-time Olympic relay medalist Chrystye Gaines, also received a two-year ban from the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Neither runner tested positive for drugs. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency sought the bans based on evidence gathered in the criminal investigation of Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative .

The bans began retroactively on June 6, 2005. In addition, all Montgomery's results and prize money since March 31, 2001, and Gaines' performances since Nov. 30, 2003, were nullified.
