I think just (Choice) being a young player and we felt like Marion was the guy that could get through it and do it (without Jones) ... Marion is an exceptional guy. I think we all see that.
Did you, Marion Jones, knowing you are under oath, use drugs according to the information which we have been provided?
I think she [Marion Jones] made her decision and she's going to have to be accountable to the consequences of her decision... If she said she didn't use drugs, then she lied.
It would be a devastating signal to our kids that it's OK to do something like this if Marion Jones was pardoned or if others don't go to jail. It would say that there are effectively no consequences for this behavior.
We feel sorry for the drug-free athletes who raced against Marion Jones. They raced in the true Olympic spirit and she has deceived them. She's the new Ben Johnson.
Marion Jones deserves no sympathy ... The paper trail led back to her and she has been systematically lying for years. She is responsible for the suspicion now on every other athlete.
