Marion jones doping doesn't add up

She was a smoker on dope. Don't forget the unprecedented five (5) gold medals at Sydney! There she ran the 100 within a few hundredths of a second within her PB, and the 200 was within a tenth of her PB. Also, a few months earlier she smoked her 400 PB which was 24th fastest in the world at that time.

High responder to the cocktail of drugs she was on - her response to dope and what she accomplished is equivalent to what Armstrong did in cycling.

What is funny about Jones is she didn't like anybody accusing her of doping and didn't think winning 5 golds in the Olympics should warrant suspicion. When the heat was on from USADA she made it clear that she was clean and would never, ever dope:

But then came the confession and everything we suspected her of was true!

like many others who got caught and fessed up, they only admit it as close to the date they got caught as possible to try to save their older 'achievements'.

Of course she doped throughout.

Marion jones said she was given steroids by her coach, Trevor Gramham, starting 1999 .she ran her PR in 1998, another Athlete supplied with drugs by Balco, Tim Montgomery ran his PR years before. Even If they did dope before this how come these athletes didn't see a massive PR. Victor conte is a P.E.D expert he gave them the EPO, HGH, testosterone and established efficient doping calenders to dodge tests. None of the Balco dopers (from the 2000 Olympics) saw a huge PR after being supplied new drugs and put on advanced programs. What is the explanation?

pretty sure she was on juice in HS, and again when she quit basketball and got back into running. she prob had to cut back on the winstrol etc as testing became more common during off season and all that....then she had to go to conte to get the "designer" drug aka the "clear" and the "cream"

those only became testable once graham sent in the syringe.

dont be so f*cking dumb people

"She was successfully defended by attorney Johnnie Cochran on charges of doping during her high school track career"

also in the wiki

"She was invited to participate in the 1992 Olympic trials, and, after her showing in the 200 meters finals, would have made the team as an alternate in the 4×100 meters relay, but she declined the invitation"

yeah wonder why that was? prob cause she was GLOWING

4 golds and a bronze.

Did you even think to look up the results before you went on this rant? She won the 100, 200 and was on the winning 4X400. But the 4X100 was third behind the Bahamas and Jamaica., and she was also third in the LJ . Still impressive, but no 5 golds.

As a postscript 2 non-Marion Jones medaling athletes in the 100, 1 athlete in the 200 and 2 athletes in the LJ all had drug issues of their own, but still hold their medals from Sydney.

Okay...3 doped golds & 2 doped bronze medals. Lol. And what do mean you by my rant? Sounds like you feel sorry for her and are defending her. Pathetic you would have any compassion for a career doper and the World's biggest phony right up there with Wonder Boy Armstrong!

I doubt Jones was doping in HS. She was a phenomenal athlete beforehand.

IMO, it is likely she began doping upon her very first return to track (I believe it was ‘97?) She had just spent years competing in basketball then blasted some of the fastest times in the world in track. Very suspicious.

There’s no doubt she was an incredible talent, and no doubt that every single woman in that 100m field at Sydney was also doping (I believe all but 1 were later convicted?) My guess is if that entire field had been clean, Jones still would have won, albeit in a much slower time. Jones likely was one of the most talented sprinters in the world, but there’s no chance she would have been competitive clean in such a drugged-up era of track.

She got her first ban in high school, but unfortunately her lawyer got her out of it.

As for her talent. Well, obviously we'll never know how fast she or her competition could have been without drugs.

Somewhere in a box in storage I still have the wedding invite from her marriage to CJ Hunter (also busted for PEDs). I didn’t attend. Wonder if the guests all received syringes as thank you gifts?

My bad, you are right, 3 gold, 2 bronze.

Troll.

obviously tool bag didnt read the wiki page. so again for the lazy a$$ sh*tbags

"In high school, Jones won the CIF California State Meet in the 100 m sprint four years in a row, representing Rio Mesa the first two years and Thousand Oaks high school the last two. She was successfully defended by attorney Johnnie Cochran on charges of doping during her high school track career"

"She was invited to participate in the 1992 Olympic trials, and, after her showing in the 200 meters finals, would have made the team as an alternate in the 4×100 meters relay, but she declined the invitation"

why wouldnt you go to the olympics UNLESS you were GLOWING.

Jones popped in high school and Gatlin popped in college. Both lawyered up and beat the charges.

Both went on to work with graham. Both eventually popped again. Both banned.

Do the rest of the 2012 US 4x400 ladies have their medals? Did they ever give them back as requested by the Olympics?

God bless their hubris.

She was already doping. The new drug just made it easy to pass a test. It was not necessarily any better.

Your post went wrong when you started with Jones said.

Yes, she dodged being tested in high school

As others have said, I think she fudged the date of her doping to preserve as much of her legacy as she could, including her PRs, coincidentally set before her admitted doping date. The shame is Jones was talented enough to have won without doping. Instead, she chose the dark path.

talented enough? she had to dope in hs to get to 11.1...as we have seen the juice gets you .3-.5 in a 100m

so that puts her at 11.4-11.6 natural in HS, and her best pro times 10.65 now becomes a 10.9-11.1
