Ben Johnson + Marion Jones

Ben Johnson
- Condemn - He doesn't admit to the use of drugs, I find this very unsportsman like, He claims that his drink was spiked and tried to use drugs to cure his hamstring problem. This was clearly not the truth so I Believe he should have been penalized for
- Support - He wrote a book titled seoul to seoul about his early life with malaria. He also now coaches young sprinters.


Marion Jones
- Condemn - She didn't admit it early enough to stop youngsters following and looking up to her as a role model, this now could have caused many of the kids to give up their dream and they will be frustrated as to what went on behind their backs over the whole time they were supporting her. Also this is unfair for the other competitors, how would you feel coming second place to someone who has cheated you through drugs?

- Support - She admitted to being guilty of taking these P&H drugs, she has also apologized to friends, family and fans, who have supported her throughout. Who now are disappointed.
