Damn, say it aint so Marion.

Regards.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Well then..she has admitted to being a liar and a cheat, so she now needs to accept responsibility, give up her medals, and accept her punishment.

[colorado tanker]

"The Clear."

Isn't that the stuff Barry Bonds used?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Is “Marion Jones” someone I am supposed to know about?

[Jewels1091]

oh crap...that makes me sick!

[originalbuckeye]

Very sad to learn this. Athletes used to be icons that kids could look up to for excelling in a sport. Maybe we should instead compile a list of those who haven’t taken performance enhancing drugs.

[SmoothTalker]

Sports is filled with cheaters. I hate all of ‘em. Good to see another go down. I hope all are smoked out of their holes.

[abercrombie_guy_38]

She should give back her medals only after she’s beaten with them.

[river rat]

"Jones also said in the letter that she lied about a $25,000 check given to her by track athlete Tim Montgomery, the father of her young son. Montgomery pleaded guilty in New York this year for his part in a multimillion-dollar bank fraud and money-laundering scheme."

Is there no end to the cheating, thuggery or debauchery in SPORTS?

What the hell hope can there be for black kids, when they see so many of their heroes from Sports, Theater, Politics and "Religion" -- like Jesse, Al and Calypso Louie, all involved in cheating, lying, crime or irresponsible sex leading to >70% of all blacks born as bastards to unwed mothers?

Well - at least this lady - once confronted with irrefutable evidence, did admit her crime..

Next - she should not wait for the medals to be asked for, she should voluntarily return them..

[zipper]

Well - at least this lady - once confronted with irrefutable evidence, did admit her crime..

You're kidding, right? How long did she lie? How many times did she lie? That's like praising Bill Clinton for admitting to his affair with Monica after being confronted with the blue dress!

For that matter, she even sued someone for 25 million as part of her cover-up! SHE'S NO LADY

"Until now, Jones had denied doping, even suing BALCO founder Victor Conte in 2004 for $25 million. Conte repeatedly accused Jones of using performance-enhancing drugs and said he watched her inject herself."

And even sadder is that a genuine role model, such as Clarence Thomas, is lambasted as a traitor and an "Uncle Tom".

Hell, there are plenty of righteous black men..

Trouble is -- they aren't part of the Leftist's new "DNC Plantation"....home to the self imprisoned ignorant and dependent blacks who rely upon the Leftists to keep that Federal teat in their lazy ass mouth...

[river rat]

I stand corrected!
I guess in comparison to Barry Bonds — anyone would look good, admitting the irrefutable...

Thanks for the correction and link....

[zipper]

True — and both made tons of money off of their cheating ways.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Hmmmm...BALCO's Victor Conte repeatedly stated that Marion Jones took steroids, and she (falsely, as it now turns out) sued him for saying it. Conte has also repeatedly stated that he never gave Barry Bonds anything.

[river rat]

"Conte has also repeatedly stated that he never gave Barry Bonds anything."

That could be true -- if Conte never gave Bonds anything directly - but to Bonds through someone else?

Has Conte ever denied give illegal steroids to anyone on Bonds's behalf?

[Perdogg]

Being a member of the UNC family, It saddens me more than anything else.

I hope the judge doesn’t give her jail time. If he does, I hope she can live a normal life after all is said and done.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

oH PLEASE...the Beeetch made a LOT of money and ruined a lot of lives.

what a selfish pig she is!!Now the tears..the melodrama..AFTER she has been caught big time after 7 years!!!!

[Vinnie]

gave her the substance, telling her it was the nutritional supplement flaxseed oil and saying she should take it by putting two drops under her tongue.

"Wow, this flaxseed oil is going straight to my deltoids!".
