Marion Jones

She retired from the sport she loves, enough to cheat, because of her actions. I wonder which actions. Was it using? Was it lying about using? Was it representing herself as good because she's gifted so she could be a role model, and now a huge let down, to young girls the world over? (Why look up to anyone anyway?) Or was it getting caught in her lie? Well that can't be it, that's not really her action.

It reminds me of a little kid who goes through meticulous effort to repeatedly do bad unnoticed but eventually gets caught. That kids apology, and this one, only mean sorry you found out.
