Nor have I.  The article didn't even say what her sport is/was - though it looks like something track and field oriented.  Oh well. :P

Yes, track and field. She was one of the big stories at the 2000 Olympics. At the time, her husband was also in the Olympics (can't remember what he did), and I think he also had some steroid issues.

It's about time!  Simply stripping these athletes of their medals isn't enough.

She had her chance to come clean during the investigation in 2003, when she chose to continue lying and hang on to her medals.  The day the proof against her was revealed she plead guilty?

She claims to feel remorse but it seems like she wasn't sorry she did it.  She was sorry she got caught.  And she's sorry that her children are going to suffer for it.

She's a runner and her husband at the time was a discus thrower or shotputter.  he was (is) an enormous hulking guy.   

Until now, there always seemed to be a different set of rules for Americans over the rest of the world - she had several medals and we had to put up with her arrogance all these years.  It is fantastic that the US justice system is finally calling these dirty athletes what they are.  Cheaters and liars. 

Do you think Lance will be next?  It would so warm my heart to see him nailed!
