it happens only in america man ,what a shitty country ,she is such a cheater man .she lied to the whole world .i wonder how she coul she sleep all these days . she is real disgrace to america
Can the sports authorities of the US and the US Govt do what the Canadian Govt did to Ben Johnson soon after the discovery of the use of drugs?
What if the sponsors and the manufacturing companies of the products endorsed by Marion Jones decide to sue her for the damage caused to them subsequent this discovery?
Me thinks that anyone who represents the country in any capacity and CHEATS like the sample above, should be treated as TRAITORS and public enemy....these are the role models whom youngsters imitate so they should not be spared...imagine if the soldiers on the front boozed themselves and drugged themselves how would we face the enemy at war...if the US does not take any serious action then their federation should be seen as one who supports drug abuse...
Question to be asked here is on all American Athletes...all of them with their overall "superiority" seem to have been on the forefront of drug abuse...only when Ben Johnson ,a canadian, won they started pointing fingers...even then there were strong rumours on Carl Lewis so called "Legend"...i think we should disregard US athletics and their so called heroes for what they are..."CHEATS"...imagine what PT Usha would have won with these drugs...atleast she was not a cheat!!

Guyz, it is a multi-billion $$ industry. The companies do research to find drugs that cannot be tested by "currently" known means. The THG Jones used was known in BALCO (the company which invented it and administered to numerous atheletes including baseball stars) as "The CLEAN" bcos it cud not be detected! Recently BALCO got busted and so all athletes under its umbrella came under suspicion. That is the only reason Jones involvment was found out. Watever said and done, the drug companies are alwaz a step ahead of anti-doping agencies. As simple as that. Poor indian athletes :)

She said that it didn't show up at that time. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/athletics/7034841.stm.
God only knows how it didn't show up in the tests.
Its such a shame, when she was fit, she denied and when her retirement age come she agreed for using steriods...... Such people should be punished, becasue of her 5 other people would have baskened the glory of gold and the honor, why she took awy.......
