Wang Junxia should be in jail
Wang Junxia should be in jail
bit harsh mate
No, the people that forced her to dope should be.
The Guardian:
"Wang, dressed fashionably in expensive heels, looks the picture of health but she was forced to retire in 1997 at the age of 23 after a doctor warned that she had pushed herself beyond the limits of physical endurance. "I still suffer from constant headaches because I trained so hard," she reveals.
Ma's torturous training regime included running a marathon a day at high altitude and he did not accept illness or injury as an excuse for failing to complete it. As punishment Ma would take a stick to the slackers."
I think a lot of athlete from countries not so sophisticated as the US or European countries are being taken advantage of and exploited. They are being doped thinking they are taking vitamins, or at least they are willingly believing the coach.
Look at what came about with The Cream and The Clear. Marion Jones couldn't inject herself, so they invented that. If you're an uneducated teen plucked out from some 3rd world village and this famous coach tells you to rub this on you 3x a day to recover, most anyone would do that.

Agree.
And many American dopers, sprinters and NBA players alike, should have gone to jail like Marion Jones.
The wars on drugs is a failure. I see no reason to extend the same demented logic to PEDs that has currently caused the disaster we have in drug policy.
Or at least she should be placed under house arrest.
I know just the place.

If so, then professional sports will cease to exist because most of them will be in jail. Even half of NCAA athletes will be gone. Enjoy watching steroid free high kids run and throw a ball in a hoop.
She hasn't competed in 20 years. You think she should be in jail _now_?
