Marion Jones denies 'knowingly' taking steroids...

I agree with dickay. She COULD have maybe set herself up for something if she'd picked a consistent direction and stuck with it. Now she's confused the whole situation, and nobody is going to believe her...period, no matter which way she tries to slant things.

And I DON'T feel bad for her. She could have played it straight, as she was earlier...she chose not not. She chose to try and act like we're all idiots who will just forget. Screw her.

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.;

Ya think so? Sounds like she's playing the pity card - sure she made some mistakes in her life but she put her trust in others (her ex-husband? trainers?) which led to this. Now, she just wants to be a good mom and perhaps use this to help others. That was what she said on Good Morning America.

Help others? By denying the fact she did steroids? Cmon man. You can make mistakes in your life if you own up to it. She does not and by saying it was an accident is taking all of us for fools.

All I'm saying is what she said on television. She said that she made some mistakes at that time in her life and trusted the wrong people. She went on to say she hoped good would come out of this and open some eyes.

Now, whether or not SHE thinks she's making YOU look like a fool is beyond me. That I can't answer.

Personally, someone wants to inject me with something, I want to know what it is they are putting in my body and then I'm going to look for an alternative to the needle.

And with the amount of drug testing that is required, she has to also be masking it somehow since she's been passing drug tests for years, which means more substances injected into the body.

Not that it's really related to this (and, overall, I tend to agree with the reactions expressed here. Not that it really matters), but I still say that athletes should simply be allowed to use whatever. They should simply be required to be under a doctor's care and supervision at all times...

All of this steroids stuff has just reached the level of absurdity, to me.
