Jones for Drugs, HW18

One article that was my least favorite in the past seven days was an article on the Jezebels blog website titled Jones for Drugs. The link is http://jezebel.com/gossip/jones-for-drugs/-307514.php. The article talks about how Marion Jones has been on steroids for the past three years without knowing it. This article makes me sad because for an athlete who is as good and well known as her is having to be in drugs in order to get the body and look that she wanted to be in Maxim, I feel as if that is taking your whole life and flushing it down the toilet because you are ruining your body that is so capable for the best achievement you can have and soon you will be no longer to receive that. One person responded to the blog by saying, “Her story is that her trainer dosed her, telling her it was flaxseed oil,” that statement really hit me because if someone is going to do that to you they honestly don’t care enough about that person and the condition that you body may end up in.
