Marion Jones’ Sentiments
Track star Marion Jones pleaded guilty for steroid use during the 2000 Sydney Olympics and the 2001 World Olympics. As a result, all her medals during that period will be forfeited and her winnings are to be returned amounting to $700,000. The runners up in all events participated by Jones would be upgraded to their proper positions.
She deserves this for tainting the reputation of the Olympics. What happened to clean and honest games? Why did you even bother becoming an athlete if you will use performance enhancing drugs? I hope this would serve as a lesson to all athletes.
