    Well, whaddya think? I'm guessing she eats porridge mostly for the fraud aspect (check fraud) of her crimes, and not the cheating at track.

    The second i layed eyes on that woman (and i use that term loosley) years back i was pretty certain she was on sorts of drugs that would put Michelle Smith to shame

    Delighted.

    Went in to it with her eyes wide open, took all the dosh and the glory, lied through her designer teeth and cried like a baby in the hope of a soft sentence when caught.

    This is a good day for sport and we need more of them.

    Well, thats an interesting statement, in one sence you're right, hopefully this will shock athletes who are considering taking drugs that there are serious consequences to it. But in the whole, its another setback of athletes, If you ask any non athletics person on the street to name a famous female sprinter, the odds are that the only one they'll know is Marion Jones. The tour de france is considered a complete joke, and with more storys as such from athletics the Olympics will be looked at similarly.

    to be honest this coming olympics is the one i've looked forward to least with so many cheats. wouldnt for a second paint all athletes with the one brush, but there are enough cheats to ruin their sport.
