The head of track and field's governing body branded Marion Jones as "one of the biggest frauds in sporting history."

IAAF president Lamine Diack said Saturday he was "deeply disappointed" with the news that Jones had admitted to taking banned drugs when she won three Olympic golds and two bronze medals in 2000.

How messed up for Jones, she could've told the truth about her illegal drug use in sports from the beginning.
 
I was actually really upset by this. I love watching the olympics and I really get into the who "go USA" thing. It's such a shame that she did this and had to wait so long to come clean.

I do look forward to seeing what happens from here with the medals.
 
I'm thinking she'll lose them since she admitted to taking the drugs before the olympics. I just wonder if that means the silver medalist will now get the golds...and so on. I don't even remember who the silver and broze medalists were.
