Marion Jones will admit in court today that she cheated during the 2000 Olympics in Sydney by taking illegal performance enhancing drugs.
I hope they strip her of her medals and give her a life time ban from competition. For years and years she lied and gave interviews boldly stating that the accusations against her were racially driven and all the while she was immersed in a very complex cheating program.
Another pathetic example of winning at any cost....

"I still believe athletes should be able to take whatever they want to be better and faster."
George, I respect your right to think this and to post this thought. I however, believe and feel 180 degs opposite. I believe taking performance enhancing drugs tarnishes competition and degrades the purity of sports. I believe anyone caught red handed taking illegal performance enhancing drugs should be seriously punished.
I have a son who swims for one of the service academies and he has never taken any illegal drug. I know a gold medal winning swimmer from Athens very well. In fact, I watched her grow up into a fine, beautiful, strong, fast and dope free young lady. I would hate to see her robbed of her hard work, dedication, clean & honest performances by some drug taking cheater. Their is no room for this in sports, none.
