What about all the American athlets having used stereoids and whatever throughout the years - and who did'nt lye - simply because they were never asked?!
She is disgraced - like all others caught- but being prisoned for lying about it is tough. If you could ever go after all the very many gold medals won for "Stars and Stripes" I am convinced
there would be ten-folds that had to be returned.
Let Marion Jones in peace now - she has paid her price, contrary to the majority of stereoid American athlets who were never caught red-handed. I refuse to look at her as a bad person. She acted stupidly, yes - but most of us have acted stupidly in life, perhaps many times too...
but lucky having got away with it....

Marion Jones

You have what so few of your fellow athletes have done. You have come forward and told the truth even though it cost you dearly.

I am one of those dinosaurs that believes there are things more important than money and in my opinion you have them all.

Honesty, self respect, pride and honor. You have earned the right to hold your head up high and you have earned all my respect forever.

You do deserve the gold!

She deserves a gold metal for being a great lier. I believed her like millions of other people. I just hope that she did not to bend over in the shower to pick up the soap bar when it got loose and fell on the floor when she was in jail. But I also think that Bill O'reily should spend some time in Jail for lying and being a general all around jackass.

Marion has the rest of her life to make something of herself. This is America, the land of opportunity. Marion has the advantages of fame and friends and has more basic advantages of an American education and speaking the English language.
My co-worker came from Kenya with $5 in his pocket. He has a good job, a house, a car, and has learned job skills in only the last 5 years.
Marion can rebuild her life and become an example for others to follow.

Interesting perspective..except for one thing. What might be "straight" for you is not "straight" for me. Your morality might not be my morality.

I don't understand why the stupid runner didn't plead the fifth.

In my opinion it was a waste of tax payer dollar and WHEN THE HELL on earth did the govt dictate what you can and cannot place into your own damn body. Oh..alcohol, caffiene, tobacco, asprin is OK..but performance enhancing products are not???

For all you naysayers next time you brush your teeth turn the toothpaste carton around and read. "In case of accidental ingestion contact the poison control center" then come back to me regarding ending the drug war.
