Marion Jones

Though to the International Olympic Council she gave her Olympic medals back I feel she should have kept them since she won them on the track I am not a sin free person so I will not cast verbal stones And I will not try to add taint to the tainted Marion Jones Though without performance enhancing drugs she could have run quite fast She is not the first to take them and she will not be the last It was noble of her to admit her guilt and to give her medals back Those medals she sweated for to win on Sydney's Olympic Track. Off of the pinnacle of fame she slipped and toppled down And now she has to live her life with her tainted ill renown Women sprinting in the Athletic World to a new height she did raise Though the sports writers and sports historians no longer sing her praise. Once feted as a true champion the World's best female athlete But now she lives in disgrace and is dismissed as a drug cheat Her actions did seem silly and none her now do condone But I am not without sin so I won't cast the stone.
