Yes. That's the routine now, either that or, if put in the slammer, you find Religion.
She knew what She was doing, the question is: what % of pro athletes in ALL sports are doing the same thing?

Maybe she'll end up with OJ?
Does anyone have a copy of "The Case of Marryin' Jonz"? I tried the wayback machine and still couldn't find it. A real classic.

Not really, though I do have access to it.

anyone could have called the newspaper and said this stuff, I am surprised at the Washington Post for publishing the story. I hope she denies the letter ever existed and it blows up in their faces. Why not just wait until she actually confesses, instead of going to print on an alleged confession? This story is weak, since when did the Washington Post become L' Equipe or whatever the hell that french drug rag is? These people will print anything.
Please. The AP has picked up the story and ESPN is running it. It's legit.
When football players go back and produce, they're helping the team and that gives something to cheer for. The fans might not like the athlete as much anymore, but it shouldn't hurt their liking of the entire team in which they root.
T&F athletes, swimmers, cyclists are a essentially a team of 1. They're not the Vikings, the Cowboys, or the Patriots, they're themselves. If the track athlete is busted, it'd be like finding out the entire team was doping.
I dont like Marion Jones.....but after reading the story I feel very sorry for her!
Maybe, just maybe, some good will come out of this!

Please share.
Just goes to show you that a Chapel Hill edupacation ain't all that its cracked up to be. This pathetic lady was a walking character flaw, consistently chose bad men to associate with, and will pay the price. Pathetic. Sad. She seemed to be a nice person, with a fatal flaw.
Track is slowly purging the toxins, and now the noose is clearly closing around Barry Bonds and his life of fraud and lies. That exposure will surely be more satisfying.
Wonder what that grand apologist, trackdaddy from Dyestat, has to say now?
What a charade this has been!
I hate writing this but this just reinforces in my head that gay is probably a cheat too. Think about sketchy character (cheating and not taking classes in college), coached by a guy in jail. I mean is there anyone who is more probable to be doping in the history of the sport than tyson gay. There is no way his coach is that good. Coaching a great COLLEGIATE RUNNER and turning him into one of the greatest sprinters of all=time from jail. I think he probably has drug connections that gay doesnt want to give up or he has threatened to rat gay out if he drops him as a coach.
gives a whole new meaning to the just do it campaign.
is it bad if i somewhat believe the statements as to why she did this unknowinly and out of panic?
The Case Against Marryin' Jonz (annotated version)
You pay for your wife's (Marryin' Jonz) cocaine habit with a check.[1] Later, she denies any relationship with the local coke dealer, Victor Vector [2], and denies knowing about the check.
Soon afterwards, she and her new boyfriend, Tiny Tim [3], are observed by DEA agents in Canada, then later in Hawaii, with Chuck Frank [4], who in 1988 was the kingpin in one of the most infamous cocaine busts in history, resulting in the forced retirement of Canadian porn star, Ben's Johnson [5]. At first, both she and her boyfriend repeatedly deny knowing Chuck Frank but when finally cornered with the truth, they admitted to knowing Frank and traveling to meet him.
She later admits to knowing Victor Vector[6], but now claims he was only a Herbalife rep. She then says that her fabulous wealth is the reason why a $7000 check to the local Herbalife rep would go unnoticed. "I'm rich," she arrogantly boasts, "$7000 may seem like a lot of money to you, but to me even $200,000 isn't very much."
Street-smart Marryin' would never pay $7000 to a street vendor for a "genuine" Rolex watch; she's yet to explain why she paid $7000 for Herbalife products?
No explanation why the need to lie about it either.
In the meantime, Victor Vector is indicted for developing, manufacturing and selling a previously undetectable isomer of methamphetamine he names "clear." [7] DEA agents find a ledger detailing the deliveries of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and "clear" to a dozen high-profile users and convinces a few of them to turn State's evidence against him--corroborating your wife's cocaine habit along the way.
Her "daddy", a notorious pimp named Fill Nite [8], desperately wants to see her case disappear. He has a huge investment in her, dressing her up in schoolgirl outfits for all of his regular johns [9]. She's been one of the most productive hoes in the stable despite her addiction to coke and crank. Mr. Nite claims that when Marryin' first turned tricks for him she wasn't on drugs, therefore there's no reason for her to be on drugs now--expecting us to believe that years of wallowing in the gutter with every sleazebag on the street didn't affect her at all.
Even though Marryin' claims to be powered by Girl Scout cookies and milk, she offers no logical reason why she takes practice urinalysis tests [10] and guzzles cranberry juice and Golden Seal?
Which do you expect us to believe: you fell off a turnip truck, or the rear door to a fishmonger's truck came ajar and red herrings are scattered all over town?
[1] Marion Jones paid Victor Conte of BALCO a $7350 check for vitamins.
[2] Victor Conte of BALCO
[3] Tim Montgomery, former world recorder holder at 100m, banned by the IAAF for doping.
[4] Charlie Francis, coach of Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson [5]
[6]
[7] "Clear" was the previously undetectable steroid THG.
[8] Phil Knight, founder of Nike.
[9] "Regular johns" = the adoring public.
[10] It was revealed that Marion Jones has her urine sent away to Quest Diagnostics for T:E ratio tests that had no known medical use, except to beat Olympic drug testing.
F I N A L L Y !!!!!
It should be noted that The Case Against Marryin' Jonz was my response on a Track & Field News thread in which a poster (MJD) claimed that the $7500 check to BALCO was a red herring. Kudos to Martin for the assist.
This is terrible. Especially to think that at one time I actually looked up to her. At least Santa Claus is real.
malmo, thanks for re-posting this, and the annotations. I had searched for it, but it seems the truth had been deleted from this board a while ago.
