	Should anyone feel sorry for Marion Jones? - 10/11/2007 - MiamiHerald.com
		Jones, convincing in her denials that she was a drug cheat, was equally firm as she pleaded guilty to charges of lying to federal investigators about her ingestion of steroids and, in another case, her involvement in a bank fraud scheme.
		Jones also claims she thought the drops her coach Trevor Graham put under her tongue were flaxseed oil, as he told her.
		The difference between Jones and Bonds is that she admitted she made a mistake, panicked and lied.

		In 2002 the rumors were revived when Jones and her boyfriend, U.S. sprinter Tim Montgomery, began training with a coach who had previously worked with Ben Johnson, the Canadian track star who was stripped of his 1988 Olympic gold medal and eventually banned from the sport for using steroids.

	Marion Jones
		Ron Rapoport: I first became aware of Marion when she was only 14 years old and a freshman in high school in Oxnard, Calif. She won the first two of her nine state high school track championships that year and was also one of the best basketball players in the state.
		Marion is 5'10", quite tall for a world-champion sprinter, so sometimes it takes her longer to get out of the blocks than women with shorter legs.
		Marion has the four fastest times of the year in the 100, and by far the fastest time in the 200, so, barring something totally unforeseen, she has to be considered a huge favorite in both events.
