i didn't say contrived. i said chastened. caught with her hand in the cookie jar so to speak. and yeah i can imagine she is concerned for her family. genuinely so, why wouldn't she be?
and when one is faced with irrefutable evidence, what the hell else can they do but bite the bullet and come clean?
I agree with everything Catefrances has said in her posts. We saw Marion Jones getting two of her gold medals at the Sydney Olympics. Australian's fell in love with her, she was portrayed as the new wonder woman. 2000 Sydney Olympics was known for her 'supreme dominance and taking home 5 gold medals'. The kids at school though she was so great and were sending her those 'hero faxes' 24 7 (other aussies will know what i mean).
Now it turns out she was just a fake and a cheat. So what if she has to hand back her medals, pity she doesn't have to pay back all the money she made as a result of sponsorship and appearances since she became so famous.

If anyone thinks Marion is confessing for any other reason other than she got caught is naive. They busted her, she needed to come clean, and the best way to do so is with a face full of tears. Americans love it when stars admit guilt, accept responsibility, and seek redemption (probably because it rarely happens). But she's only 'fessing up because she has no choice. And was it really a full confession? She blamed it on ignorance. Flaxseed oil? As someone else said, if it was a true confession, she should've also stated she's handing back ALL of her medals.
Anyways, I dont think there's any money left to be paid back. Shes flat broke, lost everything, nada....
I dont feel bad for her. I feel bad for her teammates in the relays who may also have to forfeit their medals. But what's sad is, how can you not be suspicious of them? Sports like track and field and cycling, it seems like its the norm to use where the motto is "cheaters always win."

This is how I feel...
She cheated... was busted... LIED TO INVESTIGATORS... got busted for LYING... faced CRIMINAL CHARGES that may lead to JAIL TIME...
...
THEN... she tearfully confesses.
...
That is NOT what a 'Hero' does... that is what a LIAR and a CHEAT does.
Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!
Hail, Hail!!!
...
No doubt... and she could probably pop your head like a loose grape with her buttocks.
...
The greatest shame in all of this... she probably didn't need to use the steroids. She had great natural abilities and might have been able to still achieve greatness without them... how badly did she beat her rivals?

There are no more cheaters in track/field and cycling than any other sport. It is just that the others don't get caught because there is not an aggressive enforcer. Heck, who in professional football wants the players to stop doping? How about baseball?
In cycling, the riders must notify their national cycling association of their whereabouts every day! Whether it is cycling season or not. The reason is the drug checkers (vampires as they are called), must be able to find them on any day at any time so they can draw blood and collect pee (without notification). That way the cyclists can't even train doped. No other sport in the world demands that of their players. That is why cycling takes so much heat. They are the only ones getting caught.
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way it treats its animals. Ghandi
so it seems quite certain shes going to prison? , its not like she's a persistent offender and quite a lot has been lost on her part already, give her a break.

she lied to the feds. you know they don't take that thing lightly. personally i dont give a toss about her either way. i just despise liars and hypocrites, and she was both. plus a cheater. she gets no breaks from me.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
and totally encapsulating what it is to be american, or other nationality, in the public eye. rumour rumour - public denial - histrionic outrage - admission and public disgrace - public redemption. throw oneself on the mercy of the country by making them think you actually give a shit what they think.
I feel like I just walked into a "Behind the Music" episode
... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

well I have no special agenda on her part, and I guess she need not worry about hassle inside. I just felt a little sorry for her outside that courtroom.
not that it has anything to do with it but she has a nice face, wouldnt say "hot" though. still.......
she could probably pop your head like a loose grape with her buttocks.
Yeah, hot in the scary 'looks like she could bench press me through the fucking ceiling' kind of way. . .
It doesn't matter if you're male, female, or confused; black, white, brown, red, green, yellow; gay, lesbian; redneck cop, stoned; ugly; military style, doggy style; fat, rich or poor; vegetarian or cannibal; bum, hippie, virgin; famous or drunk-you're either an asshole or you're not!
