Marion Jones is set to be stripped of her five Olympic gold medals she won in Sydney in 2000 after admitting that she took steroids. She could also serve three to six months in prison. tinyurl.com/yuko9dWonder if that means any WWE wrestler who's taken steroids will have their title wins either taken from them or asterixed? |

Congressman 1: Does this mean we should nullify this wrestler's title wins?
Congressman 2: Wrestling's fake, remember?
Congressman 1: Oh yeah...nevermind.

everyone who has won a metal in the Olympics has used drugs, all should be striped.

Maybe there's hope yet that Bond's abomination (And McGwire's as well) will be stricken from the record books.

For the betterment of all of your lives. If someone gives you a cream and tells you it is "Flaxseed Oil," they're f***ing liars.

The Olympic comittee will probably just keep them or something, I don't know.
I'm for the stripping of the medals, but I think steroids is about where this should end. I still think MLB needs to "MAN UP" and freaking induct Shoeless Joe. They inducted his SMURFING SHOES. Have some freaking dignity, and let it go.
Pete Rose, sort of, too, but I don't care as much in his case.

When the IOC basically took his medals away because he played pro ball*, the silver medalists got his golds, the bronze then got those guys' silver medals, and so forth. When Thorpe's golds were finally restored, those promoted medals stayed, and Thorpe simply was given a rare feat, if I remember right. His golds are restored, so for those events he won the gold for, there are technically two gold medalists for each! *=Which is hypocritical, since many others were pro athletes before/during their Olympic days. Doesn't pay to be an American Indian I guess. |

Whats the point of punishing Jackson further? Considering how thugs & drug-users win records & titles, to say that Jackson's punishment must stay as a deterent is absolutely stupid. |

Marion Jones has announced that she is pregnant.....is this the new way for women to avoid prison time? Have someone knock you up so you can't serve the time you normally would?
It worked for Nicole Ritchie.....maybe it'll work for Jones.

Doesn't pay to be an American Indian I guess. The reason Thorpe was stripped of his golds at first was because he said that he was an amateur athlete. The fact that he played pro ball means he wasn't an amateur like he said he was. |
