WAKE UP - SMELL the Coffee.

The charges against her were for LYING UNDER OATH to two grand juries, one impaneled to investigate the BALCO "designer steroid" ring, and the other impaneled to investigate a check fraud ring involving many of the same parties from the BALCO case...........NOT breaking the rules of the IOC.

In my court, the skank would remain in jail until her "admirers" could raise the several million dollars it would take to compensate the TRUE winners of the medals this skank cheated to win.

The skank is NOT entitled to a "Pardon", "Commutation" or ANY reduction of her already silly sentence..

Her name should ALWAYS be smeared by her crimes...
The record books should be purged of her name.
The other Athletes should be compensated for her fraud.

>The other Athletes should be compensated for her fraud.

How? She has no ability to repay them now, even if you could pin an equitable valuation on this.

Please don't suggest that I somehow compensate them.

The entire BALCO investigation was nothing more than a huge waste of taxpayer dollars. I don't see doped up athletes going and committing violent crimes en masse against innocent bystanders. If these athletes suffer ill effects as a result of doping, then oh well, Darwin is at work.

I still believe that law enforcement should go after real criminals who actually pose a threat to the general public.
