I'm worried about the positive drug tests. I'm worried about the integrity of the events we're watching. I'm worried about the way it all looks on television back home, that with the inclusion of the NBA and WNBA and tennis pros it's beginning to look like just another sporting event.
I'm worried that Marion Jones is tainted. I'm worried that officials can't set the vault at the proper height, and then don't have the guts to rerun the competition. I'm worried that because of rampant drug rumors, I can't trust the results of foot races I'm watching at Stadium Australia, or swimming events I saw last week at the Sydney International Aquatic Centre.
This leads us to C.J. Hunter, otherwise known as Mr. Marion Jones. He says that he didn't do it, and we want to believe him, too, because this is the Olympics and we hate to have the husbands of our superstars tossed out into the street. But Hunter tested positive four times this summer, ladies and gentlemen. Not once, not twice, but four times.
