Well, clearly we disagree over the severity of CHEATING in an OLYMPIC sport ...

I honestly could not care less about people who cheat at privately-sanctioned sporting events, at least in the sense that the government should be the supreme governing body for any major sport. There is already a private governing body for Ms. Jones' sport, and Ms. Jones should have been punished for cheating by that authority alone without the government getting involved.

THEN — how about the Check Scam to which this skank also pleaded guilty?

Since that's a real crime with actual victims, then by all means she should be punished by the government for this crime. But cheating at sports? Sure it is dishonorable, but the government, in my opinion, has more important things to deal with than that.

Let me remind you:

The OIC punished Jones - by demanding the return of Medals and “prize money”...

The Feds slapped her ass — but NOT for cheating.
The Feds sentenced her for LYING to a Federal Grand Jury investigating illegal activity: Drugged “sports heroes”.... and the Check Scam.

This skank is owed NOTHING in the way of compassion....
