True Confession

Recently Marion Jones a former Olympic Gold medalist for the United States track and field team admitted to using performance enhancing drugs when she set the record for most metals won by a female athlete in one Olympics. She admitted to this after she repeatedly said that she has never in the past used performance enhancing drugs. During her confession ad apology she was very emotional and even cried because she really felt like she had betrayed everyone including her teammates, fans, and family. She said that she was very sorry for the events that happened. So, the question is should we forgive Marion Jones for lying to us and then confessing to everyone about using these illegal drugs or should we be very upset. Personally I think that there should be no forgiveness to Marion Jones for multiple reasons. One she cheated the game of sports and to me that is something that is just wrong. If you can’t win the game without cheating then there is no reason that you should be playing in the first place because no one likes a cheater. Another reason I don’t think that I would forgive her is because she lied to the American people multiple times about using these performance enhancing drugs, and again no one likes a cheater at least I hope not. I mean if you think about it is that what we want to teach the kids of America that you can go ahead and cheat and lie a couple of times and we will forgive you. No, because at college if you cheat your out. So I think that there should be no forgiveness given to Marion Jones at all. She cheated and she lied and last time I checked two wrings don’t make a right.
