saw it, wow heavy stuff, 2 sides to it
1. she was caught taking illegal drugs and rightly served the sentence.
2. Her coach was in the wrong for giving them to her

Kinda surprised she didn't feel more remorse towards her team mates who were stripped of medals also.

What annoys me about cheats like her is that they dont seem to be stripped of all the prize money that effectively they stole off clean athletes. Drug cheats who have been suspended become tainted yes, but they still remain quite wealthy from money earned when cheating (endorsements, prize money, appearance money etc). To be perfectly honest that bothers me to the core, especially when you see people like Derval on just 20K for the last year.

How do you know who is clean?

Regarding Marion, I don't think she ever received a doping ban from the IAAF. She got prison for lying under oath.

On a related note, her ex-husband, Tim Montgomery is currently serving time for cheque fraud and dealing H.

The All-American couple, wouldn't you say?

Edited to clarify: Jones only received a ban from Track after she admitted lying under oath.

You obviously cant be 100% certain who is clean, but thats not the point i'm making. The fact is the Marion WAS a cheat. It doesnt matter than she didnt get banned, she admitted to cheating. But despite all this she still remains a very wealthy women. She shouldnt be. Thats my problem.
