US Olympic champion sprinter Marion Jones has retired from athletics in disgrace after pleading guilty to lying about steroid use. For years Jones steadfastly denied using steroids and did so despite reports that linked her to the notorious Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative (BALCO).
Marion Jones is now tainted as a cheat. And other elite athletes will be supected of drug taking. Ultimately track-and-field athletics will suffer. All very sad.
