Marion Jones admits to BEING druged, not TAKING drugs

According to Victor Conte's interview with ABC a few years ago, he watched Jones inject herself in the leg with steroids he had given her. Her admission to drug use just makes Conte's version of the story look that much more credible. Not only did Jones take drugs, she KNEW she was taking drugs.

If there is any justice in the world all five of her medals will be given to their rightful owners and she will be sued for lost endorsements by those she defeated. I hope she ends up an old, broken woman living in a homeless shelter. After she serves a prison sentence, of course.

it was actually growth hormone conte mentioned about injecting into her thigh, but whatever...

While you invent a cure for cancer and aids, find a peaceful solution for Iraq, and invent an endless energy source that is economically feasible.

We need more people who are kind and pure of heart.

Her letter is not so much a confession as a passing of blame. I'm unimpressed. It's really just more of the same from her.

Actually, the IOC clearly states that the athlete is solely responsible for eveything they put in their bodies. So she cannot pass the buck...

"If there is any justice in the world all five of her medals will be given to their rightful owners"

That's going to be difficult since 'they' weren't in the finals (maybe not even at the events).

This.....is just the tip of the iceberg.

Below the cool calm waters lyes a giant behemoth of names, scandal and backbiting. We are going to be in our late 70's someday, and young people will ask us questions about the "steroid era".

"I was there when... , and I saw him/her compete..."

Will start our long tales as people gather around to listen.

The sooner this whole thing goes away, the better off we will be in our sport. With what is sure to be and amazing Trials in NYC next month and Eugene next summer, we need to get this whole Marion Jones business cleaned up (no pun intended) so that we can focus on the good in our sport. And there is plenty of good regardless of what all you "everyone is on drugs anyway" people have to say. I still love track and field. Jones won't take that from me.

steroids and drugs are available to everyone. they are TOO EASY to get ahold of.

the only reason they are illegal in the sporting world is because they can be detrimental to your health in the distant future. if Marion jones or anyone else wants to use them, let them go ahead. their health is their perogative.

if youre a real athlete then you'll do whatever it takes to get an edge over your opponent. drugs or no drugs, Marion Jones still beat everyone else in the olympics and has ran the 2nd fastest 100meter time ever, right behind Flo-Jo.

theres no reason she should have to forfit anything or be punished. if there is a punishment, it will be to her health in the distant future.

Jones writes about how Graham gave her liquid suplements and told her to "place two drops under her tounge daily." She was then also told it was flaxseed oil but, to "not tell anyone about the suplements." What?! This is obviously just another signature move by someone in our society who refuses to truly take responsibility for their actions. Everything we do wrong is always someone elses fault and never our own. Her "admision" of guilt is nothing more than an attempt to shift the blame to someone else. "Awww, Boo Hoo! Someone held a gun to my head as I decieved the whole sporting world and made a joke out track and field in the eyes of the casual fan." -The Killer

"drugged"

"supplements"

"tongue"

"someone . . . who refuses to truly take responsibility for her actions."

"someone else's fault"

"admission"

"deceived"

This whole thing makes me much more sad than angry.
