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....

What am I missing here? I've read a couple of today's news articles, but I haven't seen anything that explained why she decided to confess today.
Also, she claims that she didn't know she was taking anything illegal until after the fact:
Jones now admits she took “the clear” — the steroid THG — for two years, beginning in 1999, and that she got it from former coach Trevor Graham, who told her it was flaxseed oil, the Post reported. In her letter, Jones said she didn’t realize she’d used performance-enhancing drugs until she stopped training with Graham at the end of 2002, the newspaper reported.
If this is true, then how did she manage to avoid any positive drug tests during that time?
