I suppose if one is comfortable with folks who cheat, lie to their fans and the Grand Jury and commit fraud — denying folks who “play by the rules” their fairly won rewards, then is was a waste of time to go after Olympic or Professional athletes who cheat or lie to Grand Juries....

Standards have been lowered enough....
We needn't lower them any further.

While I understand that lying under oath is a serious crime, I believe that the circumstances surrounding the crime, i.e., Ms. Jones’ drug use, did not merit a grand jury investigation, a trial, or incarceration. She should have been punished by the governing body of her particular sport and that should have been the end of it.
