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....

If she is required to return her medals, what happens to her relay medals?
From the MSNBC story on www.msnbc.msn.com/.../:
"What would happen to the U.S. relay team medals won by Jones is also uncertain.
After a long legal case, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled in 2005 that only Jerome Young should be stripped of the gold medal won by the United States in the 1,600 relay in Sydney.
The IOC, IAAF and World Anti-Doping Agency had pushed for the entire team — including Michael Johnson — to be stripped of the victory. Young tested positive for steroids in 1999 but was cleared by a U.S. panel on appeal and allowed to compete in Sydney. He ran in the preliminaries but not the final."
