Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, August 27, 2004

No need to worry whether Marion Jones and the United States would be forced to return medals and be stripped of titles...Jones finished fifth in the long jump and was part of a botched baton exchange in the 4X100m relay final. No medals for Marion...and and no medals for the United States.

One has to wonder what would have happened had Marion not run the second leg of the relay final. Gail Devers lobbied for someone else to run instead...looks as if Gail was probably right.
