Marion Jones Returns Five Medals from Sydney Games

(AP) Her reputation is gone and now so are Marion Jones' Olympic medals. Jones gave back the five medals she won at the Sydney Olympics on Monday and agreed to forfeit all other results dating back to Sept. 1, 2000, further punishment for her admission that she was a drug cheat.

The three gold medals and two bronzes were turned over by her attorneys in Austin, Texas. They are en route to U.S. Olympic Committee headquarters in Colorado Springs, and the USOC will return them to the International Olympic Committee.

"We've done what we can," said Jim Scherr, the USOC's chief executive officer. "We caught the person who was not clean. We've got the medals in our possession, and we will return them to IOC."

Fielding a clean team is a priority for a country trying to improve its image in the Olympic movement -- not to mention win the 2016 Games -- and USOC chairman Peter Ueberroth pledged Monday that the U.S. team at next summer's Beijing Olympics will be drug-free.

But when American stars like Jones or Athens gold medalist Justin Gatlin get busted, it doesn't help the cause. Gatlin is facing a ban of up to eight years after testing positive for testosterone and other steroids in April 2006 -- one month before tying the then 100-meter world record.

"Even though it is a negative going back, this will be viewed as positive in our commitment to fielding a clean team," Scherr said of Jones' punishment

I hate to see Marion have to go through this, but she'll be fine.

I guess she just wants to get it over with...no use in puttin off the inevitable.

She stepped up to the plate, better than the men I've seen!

File This Under: Where Can I Find That In The Bible, "Bishop"?!

It is ok to cuss in the boudoir?? Yes, according to "Bishop" Weaks

Well, Bishop Weaks has certainly put his mouth in it this time. He's pretty much confessed on the video below that he's a cusser (in the bedroom) and has granted permission to the couples in the "teach me how to love you" seminar, to implement cuss words in the bedroom. You know what? I don't think he had to tell most of the folks it was ok to curse (they're probably cursin' anyway), based on the audience's response it sounded more of a sigh of relief!

The body of Christ has no room for irresponsible ministering, and yet it seems the Church is bombarded with such, and the laymen are eating it up with a shovel. You better recognize, the only person who can make a fool out of you, is you.

Look at this trash. And look at JB. Does she look at times, uncomfortable, as in "honey that's TMI, that's TMI." Maybe it's me.
