Marion Jones denies 'knowingly' taking steroids...

[dickay]

I suppose lying under oath and doing time taught her nothing. Now she's on TV denying that she ever 'knowingly' took roids. Really, anyone else see a pathological liar and get disgusted when hearing her talk??

I dont know what makes athletes think its ok to use this excuse. They think we are idiots. They would gather more sympathy if they were just honest.

Thats the thing! After she repeatedly lied publicly and under oath, she then came out and garnered sympathy by telling the truth and serving time. I and I'd bet many had sympathy for her and she could have greatly capitalized off of it. Her foolish pride however blinds her and she now goes back to lying again??? You're exactly right........she treats everyone as if they are an idiot. I know people like this however, who truly lie enough to where they start to believe their lies. Compulsive and pathological. It's scary.

this is always an amazing excuse ..

Like they said in Game of Shadows with Bonds .. he' a guy who won't east from the teams post game spread because he doesn't know the nutritional information, but he will go ahead and inject something into his body with out any worries or knowledge of what it is.


Im not entirely sure why athletes can't understand that most people want to forgive them and just want to hear them say they screwed up and did it and won't do it again.

Look at Giambi... he didnt even really admit it He just said I'm sorry... and NY forgave him

What do you expect her to do? She's lied about it the whole time, even under oath. She's not about to come clean about it.

Look what happened to Jose Canseco and Ken Caminiti when they came clean about steroids and in Ken's case, other drugs ... no one believed them.

Marion Jones is going to hold onto this lie as long as she can and mantain a viable career, either on television or writing books.

No one disbelieved Canseco or Caminati -- people thought they shouldn't have called out others - no fans held anything against Caminiti, Canseco had a host of other issues.

[KowboyKoop]

Nobody believed Canseco when he came clean about steroid?? I don't remember that.



Jose Canseco: "I used steroids during my playing days."

Non-believing fan: NO YOU DIDN'T! LIAR!

Jose Canseco: "No, seriously..look at my arms. Look at the veins. I used steroids. I admit it and am ashamed.

NBF: LIAR!!!! YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL AND AN EXAMPLE OF SOMEONE WHO TRULY DID IT THE RIGHT WAY!!

Except that when she WAS finally convicted, she did the whole 'teary heartfelt confessional' garbage to garner sympathy. Now she's out and apparently just expects everyone to have developed amnesia.

Luckily her sprinting career's over...enjoy being useless, Marion.

I believe he said no one disbelieved them.... as in everyone believed them

Read what JeepGuy said.

Read what JeepGuy said.

Ah... he should've quoted him for clarity... because I was reading Gryfyn's post.... sorry

[JeepGuy63]

No one believed Canseco or Caminiti about the widespread usage of steroids in baseball and those named. Caminiti went on to take about other drug use as well.

Like I said, what did you expect?

Now, she'll find herself doing the talkshow circuit, starting with Good Morning America this morning. Following that, it will be the book tour. If she came out and said she did it all knowingly, she wouldn't be getting this second career.

nah, she'd have found more money if she showed contrition. people will get tired of her act quick and she will be ridiculed and mocked. For someone who is so 'proud' of the name she once built, this is a very sorry way for her to go.;
