Default Marion Jones gave a wonderful apology today.

She owes Ekaterini Thanou (100m) and Pauline Davis-Thompson(200m) more than an apology. What will become of the gold medals from the relay? Will her 3 teammates have to give theirs up too? I don't see how they can keep them. All the silver winners have to get their gold medals, though I'm sure they won't get the glory or the endorsements.

She not only stole from the other track and field athletes, she stole from herself. She'll never know if she could have won without those drugs. She lived with undeserved fame and money from endorsements that belonged to someone else. Think of the thousands of little girls who made her their role model.
