In the Olympics they are getting ready for the next contestants. There is some word out that some people are using steroids to win the Olympics. Marion Jones is being charged of using steroids in the Olympics. Friday she will be in White Plains N.Y. to plead guilty. Before the Olympics she wrote letters to all of her family and friends to tell them that she used steroids. In the letter she said that she was sorry for disappointing them in so many ways. Well because she was doing a relay race her team mates also have to give their medals back as well. So she didn’t only hurt herself but her family, friends, and team mates. She will face up six to nine years in prison. She was also separated from her two young children. She is now very ashamed and sorry for what she did and will be in jail for six years.
