With ever new allegation/admission "The Game of Shadows" appears to be that much more believable.

For those that don't know, in game of shadows they claim Jones used steroids, however she was adamately denying it.

IMO the journalistic investigation that ultimately formed that book was solid from the beginning.

The source that was dubious and now appears to have at least a shred of credibility is Mr. Jose Canseco.

At least she has admitted it. BUT it totally robs the 3/4th place guys who could have medaled of their own glory. THAT is what p!sses me off most in these cases. The cheating bast of a winner gets glory and the 2-4th place guys could have had more, now thats sickening.

Yeah, as if they weren't cheating as well.

Steroids at the professional level these days is like masturbation for 15-year-olds...every so often you run into the moon-eyed innocent, but for the most part they're either doing it, or lying about it.

they are going to get Barry with these same investigation methods. they'll either get him for lying to the feds or tax issues through the IRS

They all claim they had no idea they were using steroids. A big fat lie!!

Same thing with Shane Mosley, James Toney, Roy Jones Jr, Tommy Morrison and many others in Boxing circles who claim they took it unknowingly.

Yep. She thought it was Flaxseed Oil ... right.

Barry thought it was fancy body lotion.

These people are a disgrace.

She ONLY admitted it after she could no longer deny it and the case closed in on her imo. This isn't out of integrity, she swore slander was made against her for years and threatened litigation. However with the evidence/testimony of others, she's finally forced into a corner to come clean or take a risk of doing more time. She's a lying dirtbag like all the others who cheated and lied about it.

QFT. :thumbsup:

though, the fact that the french still haven't been able to pin anything on lance armstrong is amazing, considering they are now able to test for probably everything usable back then

Isn't Lance Armstrong's heart 35% bigger than normal?
