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....

Purity in sports--Are you kidding. There has never been purity in sports. Atheletes and society demand it. The only reason the Olympics are "nonprofessional" s because the Great Britian Olympic movement had a lot of money and influence when the modern Olympics were developed. It has nothig to do with purity....
Craig, I honestly believe that purity does exist in sports. Look at the volumes of clean age group, college and Olympic swimmers. I know of one great USA Olympic Gold Medal Swimmer that I would bet my life on her being 100 % clean. The drug cheaters have made us all skepitics and that is a sad commentary unto itself.
