BRUSSELS, Belgium -- Kelli White made a winning return to the track Friday, capturing the 100 meters a week after she became embroiled in a drug scandal at the World Championships.

The world champion led a 1-2-3 American finish at the Van Damme Memorial meet, followed by Chryste Gaines and Tori Edwards.

"It was my first time on the track for eight days," said White, who won in 10.87 seconds. "It was my first normal day."

Maria Mutola of Mozambique won a $1 million jackpot, taking the 800 meters to make it 6-for-6 in Golden League races. She earned her biggest payday and one of the biggest in track and field.

She finished 1 minute 57.78 seconds, easily holding off Natalya Khrushchelyova of Russia by 0.75 seconds.

"As the race came closer I was nervous," Mutola said. "Anything can happen in a race. "I just hung on."

The sellout crowd of 47,500 at King Baudouin Stadium gave her a standing ovation as the public-address system blared the "West Side Story" song "Maria." IAAF president Lamine Diack handed her the check after the race.

White was slow out of the blocks and despite a slight headwind won in 10.87 seconds, just 0.02 seconds off her personal best she set in France last week.

Gaines, who missed out on the 100 at the worlds, ran a personal record of 10.88. Edwards, the silver medalist behind White last week, also beat the 11-second mark in 10.98.

After her 100 victory at the worlds, White tested positive for a stimulant. She escaped a suspension that would have kept her from the Athens Olympics, but she could still lose her 100 and 200 gold medals. She skipped the 400-meter relay at the worlds because of the scandal.

"It's been tough," she said.

In the men's 100, Asafa Powell, who was disqualified at the worlds for a false start, set a personal best of 10.02 to upset the favorites in the 100 meters. The Jamaican beat U.S. runner Justin Gatlin by 0.07 seconds. American Bernard Williams finished third in 10.10. John Capel, the 200 world champion, was fourth in 10.13.

In France, Powell was a victim of the new false start rule that immediately disqualifies any sprinter following a first false start in the race.

"This is kind of revenge for what happened to me," he said.

Hicham El Guerrouj, again dominated the 1,500, never letting France's Mehdi Baala threaten him in an identical 1-2 finish as in the worlds.

Despite complaints about fatigue, the Moroccan finished in a season's top time of 3 minutes, 28.40 seconds, improving his own mark. Baala set a French record of 3:28.98.

In the women's race, Sureyya Ayhan, runner-up at the worlds, won the 1,500 in a world-leading time this year, 3:55.33.

Haile Gebrselassie ran the third-fastest 10,000 in history, finishing in 26:29.22, just seven outside the record he still owns.

Nicolas Kemboi, a 19-year-old Kenyan, finished second in a world junior record of 26:30.03. Adullah Ahmad Hassan, formerly known as Albert Chipkurui of Kenya, set an Asian record for his new nation, Qatar, of 26:38.78.

Qatar's Saif Saeed Shaheen set an Asian record in the steeplechase, finishing in 8:00.07, improving on the mark he set last month by 2.42 seconds. It also was the world best time this season.

Kenya's Wilfred Bungei, who missed the worlds because of malaria, improved on the season's best time in the 800, finishing in 1:42.52, edging Mbulaeni Mulaudzi of South Africa by 0.37 seconds.

In the 400 hurdles, world record holder Yuliya Pechonkina of Russia bounced back from her surprising defeat at the worlds to win in 53.49 seconds. Sandra Glover of the United States was second, 0.38 seconds behind.

After she pulled out of the world championships because of illness, double Olympic champion Derartu Tulu of Ethiopia won the 5,000 ahead of Kenya's Isabella Ochichi and prerace favorite Edith Masai.

In the javelin, Tatyana Shikolenko won with a throw of 201 feet, 4 inches.
