    This is a major disappointment. Marion Jones admitted she used a performance-enhancing drug from BALCO.  :'(

    Well, most everybody had already concluded she'd used drugs supplied by BALCO, so you could look at it as an affirmation of the human spirit that she found the character to admit it.

    Hmmm…I always liked Marion Jones' physique.

    It was awesome, don't know what to say about her doping though.  It would have been nice to think she she never touched the stuff.

    I will say that her build was definitely impressive, that woman was definitely built.

    I feel the same way – I did suspect her, though, as her performances were so much better than everyone else's. :'(

    That is what I was thinking, more or less, the performance is what kind of brought it more to the back of my mind as well.  If I remember she was indeed getting those medals, and breaking records as well.

    She ought to voluntarily turn in her medals from the 2000 Olympics, ASAP.

    Agreed (good God, I'm agreeing with Lingster – what's wrong with me?! )

    yes she took ped, so what, I see nothing wrong with taking them, however the olympic rules state you can't use them so she should be stripped of her metals because she broke the rules

    Thou are in trouble now, its one of the earliest signs of the coming of the Tribulation.  😉
