She’s not going to jail because she used steroids, she’s going to jail because she perjured herself.
News? Activism?
I want to know why there are federal investigations into steroid use in baseball and no such review of steroid use/abuse in law enforcement.
Why did you put your vanity in news?
Is it okay if I imagine you howling this post title with mascara running down your face? Thanks.
All the games have become is a cat and mouse. What they should do is just open it up to all sorts of enhancement and then let those who dare juice up and compete. That would be entertaining.
That woman shamed our country for her own selfish gain. She didn’t confess anything until she got caught. In fact, she even continued the denials after she got caught. Let’s see if she does some sincere activism after she gets out of the pokey.
Sorry, but she is famous, and publicity for prosecutors comes before justice.
Marion Jones Is Sentenced to 6 Months
"..But in October, Jones told the judge that she lied to a federal investigator in November 2003 when she denied using performance-enhancing drugs. She said she took steroids "several times before the Sydney Olympics and continued using it after."
She also admitted lying about her knowledge of the involvement of Tim Montgomery, the father of her son Monty, in a scheme to cash millions of dollars worth of stolen or forged checks. Montgomery and several others have been convicted in that scam. .."
I don’t honestly care about steroids in baseball.
How about we randomly do urine and breath tests on our politicians, just like I have to do as a bus driver?
It might be the only way to get rid of Ted Kennedy—what I think of as being a sober character and Samuel Adams thought was a sober character are probably two different things!
Are you serious?????
The people she really harmed are those with whom she competed. The second, third and fourth placers, who really would have won the medals legitimately AND would have garnered all the millions in endorsements she received!
Their lives were altered dramatically by her dishonesty. They worked hard for their sport and did not reap the rewards they deserved.
Six months is NOTHING for what she cheated them out of.
My second and more accurate reaction was that she lied to Federal agents, and she deserved what we give the Martha Stewarts and all the rest.
Perhaps it is the only logical way to get people to tell the truth......At least I would hope so.
Let’s make a deal - Marion Jones can avoid jail time if the MSM - particularly rightsholder NBC - serve her sentence for her for their star-******* approach and incessantly shoving American “heroes” (read: cheaters with hypodermics) down our throats.
Ok...then let's just let all sinners...who confess go free.
