Quoted message said:L'Equipe is also publishing inflammatory articles that attempt to
implicate
Marion Jones in a doping scandal. These articles use similarly flimsy
evidence
as in the LA book. For example, one such article stated that she was
caught "red handed" (en flagrant delit) talking to Ben Johnson's old
coach.

Actually she was seeking help from Ben Johnson old coach. There are
actually pictures of her doing so. She actually continued training
with him for a little while after the photos were released last year
but buckled soon afterward as public outcry mounted. She later
apologized for "poor" judgement.
Her ex-husband, CJ Hunter was banned form atlanta for a positive
anabolic steriod test (nandrolone a believe).
Her current husband Tim Montgomery is one of the five athletes who
have recieved a letter stating that a formal investigation has been
started into their use of THG the designer steriod created by BALCO
labs
A check from Marion for 7,000 dollars was made out to BALCO
labratories was revcovered in a string the raided their Bay area
offices.
A calalender that appears to be a doping schedule has been found with
the initials MJ on it some of the info appears to be consistent with
events in Marion Jones' life however other parts appear to be
inconsitent.
She has no received an offical proceedings letter such as the one Tim
Montgomery has, but USADA has admitted that it is investigating her.
These are the facts as I know them. Whether she has actually done
anything wrong remains to be seen, but the case against her is far
less flimsy.And it seems to me that there is about a 50/50 chance
that she is going to be banned from Athens.
