ss74k. Marion jones was my fovourite player when she played and I don't
know if i would have supported her now. So i find hard to comment on
her. She cheated the game. I am not denying the fact. And she was
rightly disqualified. My point was not all players are good role
models. But when i said her ability cannot be questioned because she
have won world championship not once , not twice but thrice that too
without steroids.
Evilgod, when people fails to make their point they come up with personal attack. Anyway i wont call any of you moron. If you scroll the page you will see quite a few are with what i have wrote. If you dont agree you are feel to do so. But please act little nicer. And don't surmise where the people are. If you are guessing by clicking on the nick, lol then you are intelligent by guessing my two year old nick.
I saw on ESPN sportsline ( an american
media) that put china on top because of gold. Telegraph itself accused
CNN for medal table spin.
China's domination of the medals table at these Games cannot be denied... or
can it? The US press have found a way that suggests America still is best.

The home nation is top of the International Olympic Committee’s medal table
and is widely viewed as the highest performing nation of these Games – but
not in the United States.
In the USA, newspapers have been reporting the table in terms of totals medal
won, rather than by the number of golds as the IOC does. This method moves
the States to the top.
Critics accuse the US media of cynically manipulating the figures to keep the
USA team at the top of the table.
The debate has been fuelled by this USA
Today medal table from the 2004 Olympics, which shows the countries
ranked by gold medals instead.
