Re: Does USA need to be shamed some more by having Jones on the roster?
The amount of circumstantial evidence against Marion Jones is overwhelming. However, it's just that, circumstantial evidence. Until she actually fails a test (B sample included), we have to let her compete. If you went on rumors and circumstantial evidence alone, a whole bunch of the athletes on the World Cup teams would be off. If I was forced to place a bet, I would bet that Marion has used PED's and therefore she doesn't deserve a spot on the team. However, I don't know for sure if she has or hasn't, and until she is actually caught doing so, we have to let her run. I'll also agree that there are probably other countries who look down on us for doing so, but again, what grounds does USATF use to keep her off the team? Suspicion? Just won't cut it.
