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.
