Summary
Olympic Track and Field star Marion Jones prestigiously
won 5 medals (3 gold and 2 bronze) during the 2000 Sydney, Australia Olympics.
Her reputation was abolished when she appeared outside of a federal court after
being found guilty of using sport enhancing substances during the 2000 Olympics
which led to her triumphant performance in Track and Field. Marion was
sentenced to 6 months in prison and was stripped of her medals and her freedom.
Reflection
Marion Jones will now and always feel ashamed of her
pathetic actions. Why did she use the enhancing supplements? I believe that she
used the supplements because she felt inadequate something that is not uncommon
in athletics. Marion jones disgraced the both herself and the athletics department.
Some believe that Marion either was influenced to use the supplements or began
to use the supplements because she felt pressured during or before the
Olympics. Marion harbored her guilt over the course of all those years when she
could have avoided all of these disastrous results. Marion Jones’s reputation
and career is now disgraced which is what she harshly deserves.
