Triple gold-medal sprinter Marion Jones is expected to plead guilty Friday to lying about taking banned substances, the International Olympic Committee announced today. Marion Jones wrote a letter admitting she took “the clear,” also called THG, in the lead-up to the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, where she won five medals, three of them gold, the Washington Post said. Although she admits to the taking banned substances, the Post reports, she also says she was unaware of what she was taking. She writes that her former coach Trevor Graham gave her the substance and told her it was flaxseed oil.

So sad! Marion Jones you are the weakest link!

  • Why do they always blame the trainer? Come on Marion.

  • I loved her and still do. At least she was adult enough to ‘fess up. I don’t agree with her taking performance enhancing drugs and she should probably loose her medals. But I do respect her, she is a real lady in my opinion. I still see her as an inspiration.

  • She is the BEST runner!!!! And she is a really strong person,because she said the true! So shut up, you idiots!!!!!

  • She’s the best runner cause she doped up. I don’t disrespect her talent, just her decisions.

  • Same goes for Britney.

  • I think there should be an all-drug-enhanced Olympics. Team Britney!
