    Marion will forever irritate me.
    During these years sis never missed a single drug test.
    During her doping years she was even running slower than her debut.
    Like how do you start doping and lose speed

      likely injuries, sometimes you have micro fractures and small injuries you don't report. can't say that I know, but when I ran track in multiple events same day. Your quads take a big hit, shins especially when combining sprinting and jumping. My assumption is she needed it for recovery and injury prevention.

      See my earlier reply : MJ was likely doping from age 12. The way she denies ever consciously doping, when she has been convicted of doing just that, suggests she is covering up for somebody.
      Her high school coach was also associated with Evelyn Ashford. The coach covered for her, preventing a life time ban for doping. Her family was clearly involved, they had to find thousands of $ to employ Johnnie Cochran, of OJ Simpson fame, who got her off with a 4 year ban. The IAAF wanted a life time ban.
      As her injuries accumulated, she added extra doping to compensate. All the doping she did with BALCO is known as CONTE kept records of all the drug usage, receipts, payments, taxation, etc. Once BALCO was raided, MJ's goose was cooked.
      I forgot to mention : CLEAR, the BALCO PED, was a designer drug designed to pass any test available at the time. It means when you see her competing, she did so, fully drugged up.
      Despite being fully drugged up, her times were slow. 10.9 is slower than the 100m US High School record of 10.89.

      Haha you think she started doping AFTER joining BALCO? She took 2 seconds off her 200m time in 1 year 96’-97 this after not training or competing in track for 3 years?

      Why do you think she needed Johnnie Cochran, of OJ Simpson fame, to get her off a life time ban for doping at 17. She had to play basketball in college as she served out her IAAF ban.
      She met Hunter at 16, and CONTE of BALCO was not going to risk making clients of people who were not obvious dopers already. Her mediocre performance at cross-fit post doping suggests she was doping from age 12.

    What I always hated about her is she never went all out. I realize now that she was trying to pass under the radar. I think she believed if she didn’t run crazy times people wouldn’t suspect her.

    • @sir3958
      @sir3958 3 роки тому +3

      No what’s crazy is she didn’t even skip drug test during this time. This was all her.
      Which pisses me off even more because. During her doling years she was flat out running slower than her debut times

      She was fully drugged up. The BALCO PED, nicknamed CLEAR, by the founder CONTE, was designed to beat all tests available at the time. To this day, CONTE, has a poster of MARION JONES, on his office wall, and brags, despite serving jail time, he made MJ a champion.
      Her 10.9 Goodwill games record would be considered slow today. The record for 100m, for high school girls in the US is 10.89.

      In rowing 1 offence is an automatic life time ban. Given rowing is a very hard sport with minimal reward, it would unlikely to attract types who want to dope.
