Cox won a gold medal in the women's 4x400 m relay at the 2004 Athens Summer Olympics, which was later stripped in 2012 after she admitted to doping. In Athens she ran in the preliminary round but not in the final. DeeDee Trotter, Monique Henderson, Sanya Richards and Monique Hennagan ran in the final. In 2004, she was the American indoor 200 m champion.

On January 29, 2010, the Associated Press and ESPN.com reported that Cox admitted to using anabolic steroids from 2001 to 2004. As a result, she forfeited all of her results from that time period, and agreed to a four-year suspension that ended in January 2014. IAAF has recommended that the whole U.S. women's 2004 Olympic 4x400 metres relay team be stripped of their medals. In 2013, both the IAAF and the IOC announced that the American squad (except Cox) would be allowed to retain their gold medals.
