Marion Jones Olympic Cheater

 

Marion Jones was a gold medalist in the Olympics, and had done so on her own or so we thought. Ms. Jones had confessed to using performance-enhancing drugs and lying to federal agents because of the shame and possible guilt she was tormented with. She was then sent to a prison to serve for her crimes. But i would be angry with myself if I ever resorted to using steroids. I always want my hard work to be from my own blood, sweat, and tears. To cheat is to lie to everyone and I could not live with such a heavy burden on my shoulders. The secret shame must have been incredible to be able to confess and know what the outcome would be.
