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....

Josh54 - not sure what your point is. I don't think any of us are naive about sports, especially in America these days. Sports is no different than any business where there is an epidemic of shady things being done to get ahead. While most of us aren't elite athletes, we are professionals and we know all sorts of things available to any professional to bend the rules or get ahead (insider trading, suspect accounting).
And, yes, there are tour riders who get through without doping, just as there are businesses that achieve without cheating.
