Marion Jones has always vehemently denied being a drug cheat, daring anyone to prove otherwise. However, in a recent letter to family and close friends she admits using steroids before the Sydney Games. This admission may also see Jones stripped of the five medals she won in Sydney.

Jones says that she thought the substance given to her by her trainer was flaxseed oil and not a performance enhancing drug, despite allegedly being seen by BALCO founder, Victor Conte, injecting herself.

I don't think you can inject flaxseed oil but I do wonder if she could possibly inject a bit of honesty and humility.

The case continues.
