Marion Jones Is Out!

Do you all remember Marion Jones, our top U.S. sprinter in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney? I sure do, she was the fastest woman in the world. Do you all remember when she went to jail for lying about her steroid use? Well she just finished her six-month sentence in a federal prison. She was sent home today, but not out of the woods. She still will be placed on probation. And here’s what you get when you cheat. She had to give back the three gold medals and two bronze medals she won at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. And her name was wiped away from the record books, as it never happened. I guess the lesson here is don’t bother cheating, it will come out sooner or later. And in the end, you will lose everything, as she did.
