Track Star Marion Jones Admits Steroid

10/5/07
Quote:
After years of denials, Marion Jones is ready to admit she doped.
The three-time Olympic gold medalist is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in White Plains, N.Y., on Friday to plead guilty to charges in connection with steroid use, a federal law enforcement source told The Associated Press.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, and would not provide details about the plea.
Jones sent family and friends a letter in which she said she used steroids before the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, The Washington Post reported Thursday. The Post was the first to report that Jones would come clean on doping.

This is really sad. She was such a great athlete. Are there any athletes left to look up to?

I have a different perspective....

MOST athletes (except for the extremely gifted among the extremely gifted) use performance-enhancing drugs. The general public is beginning to realize that they are not just for bodybuilders and powerlifters, but also ice skaters and tennis players as well!

I can say that at the college level, MOST players use something (usually GH + Testosterone) and at the elite levels, NEARLY ALL DO. While these are drugs and not something to be taken lightly, with the proper monitoring and competent medical guidance, they are not the evil they're made out to be either.

I personally don't care what the players are on. When I DO watch, it's for entertainment purposes. The only reason these great athletes are not "looked up to" as readily as they once were, is because the media has totally blown this issue out of proportion. The bottom line is: These are tremendous athletes. Injecting yourself w/ GH or testosterone or anything else will not magically make you gifted. But it WILL improve performance in an arena where there is .08 seconds difference between 1st and last place.

Yes this is very sad thats why I never had a problem letting my kids watch NASCAR. thoses athletes are family men who are responsible and are good role models.
