I found this news article about Marion Jones. She was the one who won the three gold medals and two bronze in the 2000 Summer Olympics. Now if you remember back in 2004 she denies that she took any steroids. But now this is 2007...she finally admits that she cheated and she did took them. Three years of hiding the truth...for shame.

So what do you guys think? Should her medals be taken away and face jail time? Well for me, her medals should be taken away. What she did was wrong.

Well here is the article.

Athletes today...they will do anything to get a deal or medal. It is a shame.

Lying to all those officials is a crime you know. I think she should get 3months. Nothing bad, but it is a decent punishment. And yes, take away the medals. this is a shame...I believed her, dont think I'll believe any athlete again. It's just sad people go to this extreme to win.

So I guess her medals will be gone then. And to think I looked up to her. She was one of the best athletes of all time! Now she did this...oh man. Well she is gone in my eyes. Yeah she did lie to those officials, so she might get some jail time. But she have to go to court first.

I agree with you Beret and Anti-Pop Culture Warrior 13.

And I heard about this when I watched Bill O'Reilly(Fox News) this past Thursday. And I just came across this article.

She wont get jail time because she famous, and if she does it wont be for very long. But she should be stripped of her medals.

Hmm...I guess you guys could be right. She might not go to jail, but it will be the judge decision. And if she does get her medals taken away, the medals will go to the ones who place below her. She has to pay the consequences. She shouldn't have took them and lie...that is so wrong!

The max sentence is 10 years jail time you know...of course, that is highly unlikely since MArion is cooperating with officials now, I think she is expecting 6 months with probation. So yeah, the medals being gone is the real punishment.

Here's an interesting sidenote: the person who got the silver medals in the races Marion got the gold, also got busted for steroids. I guess the bronze medalist gets the medals then...

Oh okay. So six months with probation, that is interesting. Yeah of course she is cooperating with them. But still her medals are gone, and she back to square one. And besides she said she is retiring.

See I just wish athletes will do their sports not because of getting a medal, fame, fortune, but because they enjoy doing their sport. She should have done it by the natural way. Who cares if she didn't win gold?! As long you have fun, that is all that matters. But nope, she look at it that she will be famous and have a lot of money. So she did whatever it takes to win big! So she had to take steroids...tsk. Her career is finished.

Okay the one who won the silver got busted from taking steroids too?! What is the world coming to?! Omg, the sports industy is starting to mess up.

Should, should, should. Thats all I'm seeing. She WILL be stripped of all metals. And there is a decent amount of press on this issue. It was a breaking news story. She disgraced America with that stunt.

Hmmm, it's sad that so many people abuse drugs to avoid losing.
She'll most likely go to jail for cheating, but I don't know if she'll keep all the medals.

I don`t get it, why would she come out of no where & admit that she used steroids? Dx I guess she thought that she wouldn`t get into too much trouble. xD; Well, I think that they should take away her medals definately & go to jail for a short period, because what she did wasn`t fair at all. >=[

I think that her medals should be stripped since she did not win them honestly. Jail time is a bit much for me though. I think simply stripping her of her medals and banning her from the Olympics is justice enough, let alone the shame that she'll have to carry with her for the rest of her life.

I don't think steroid really do much, but since their banned from use in the Olympics, they should remove her medals.

As for jail time, it doesn't really sound like a crime. I suppose you could say she commited a misdemeanor, but I don't think she deserves to be jailed for it. She could be fined, though.

Yeah I just heard now, that she did return her medals. Well that is it, but I think she still needs to go to court. But her medals are gone. She is banned of sports forever. Well she did say that she is retiring. But I bet she said that because it will soften her blow of defeat. She is going to be like us. She won't have fame or fortune, she had to carry that problem for the rest of her life.
