Can I say I smell a rat?
Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but, as far as Marion Jones is concerned, something fishy is going on.
Flashback to the 1988 Olympics at Seoul. Ben Johnson tests positive for a steroid previously believed to be undetectable by cheating athletes and a panic runs through the entire competition; suddenly competitors are pulling out of events, or seemingly intentionally disqualifying at an alarming rate.
It seems like Marion Jones is intentionally botching her events. (I have run relays, and I’ve never seen someone go to so much work to botch a handoff) Marion Jones continues to play the martyr, but let’s be honest, only in our judicial system are you assumed innocent. In the real world, if it looks, walks, and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. Marion Jones ex-husband - albeit a slimey, sleazier guy never existed - said he injected her with steroids. BALCO said they sent her steroids. Her boyfriend and father of her child, Tim Montgomery, has been nailed for using steroids. How could Marion possibly be innocent?
Marion must already know that the jig is up with her involvement with the BALCO steroid scandal, and she wants to save herself the additional humiliation of having to send back medals. If this is at all true, we will have to come up with new words for selfish and self-absorbed to describe Marion Jones. How could a person intentionally ruin five other American’s chances for Olympic medals for the sake of protecting their pride?
Name that movie line:
“Her insides were a rocky place, where my seed could find no purchase.”
