Marion Jones' B sample negative

FWIW,

i) This is why the rash of A sample leaks needs to be stopped.
ii) This raises more questions about the reliability of the EPO test protocol.
iii) This is why we have such a thing as presumption of innocence. Given her history, it's hard to believe she's clean, but I do feel we have to give her the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.

Re: Marion Jones' B sample negative
I'll admit to being one of many who had the reaction of "It's about time" when her A sample results were leaked. Not sure what to think now. However, I agree that we have to operate on an innocent until proven guilty basis. If you could be convicted by circumstantial evidence though, she'd be in big trouble.
