Olympian Marion Jones admits steroid abuse

I feel sorry for her. I feel sorry for her. Having done nutritional programs for athletes I can tell you that many don't know what they are taking. Many of them have no interest in learning about nutrition, why would they if there's a nutrition professional advising them on their meals and feeding them supplements? I am glad to see the awareness of steroid abuse increase. I hope it leads to people being more aware of what substances of all kinds they are putting into them, including ones built into their food. There's really a lot to be said for simple, clean living. More on her here.

X your link is broken. Agreed people need to be more aware of what their food has in it.
It is sad to see the long term effects of steroid use on the human body.

Oops, sorry about that, here's the link to the story: Jones Admits to Steroid Use | Gloob.TV It also says on this site that she was the only woman to ever win three gold and two bronze, so I wonder who the best female is now?

The only question I would post to Ms. Jones is why deny that she took steroids in the first place? I agree that you have to watch what you eat and take, for whatever you are taking could contain steroids.

In the winter Olympics, when some athletes were taking Sudafed to fight an illness, there was a banned ingredient in that medication. To me, if all they wanted to do was to get well, and not take Sudafed thinking it would help them like the way steroids would, then that's tacky.

Now seeing the Ms. Jones admitting steroid use, why does not Barry Bonds get contrite and admit his use of steroids? And Victor Conte's BALCO lab should be gotten rid of, if it is has not already happened.

I feel sorry for Ms. Jones as she has to give up the medals, but fair is fair.

Now that she is stripped of her medals, I still wonder why she denied taking steroids?

I guess she never gave an answer for her denial yet.
