Marion Jones Admits to Taking Steroids

heisman;953634; said:
I'm not aware of any performance enhancers being illegal. Crack, Heroin, Ice, etc., are illegal. I'm aware that some performance enhancers require a prescription, and then there are other banned performance enhancing substances that are available OTC. Am I misinformed about this?

I might have the class wrong, but I believe it's a Class 3 controlled substance as defined by the FDA.

That makes it illegal to obtain it without a valid prescription.

Bush asked not to commute Jones' sentence

WASHINGTON (AP) - The new leader at USA Track and Field sent a letter to President Bush asking him to deny Marion Jones' request to commute her six-month prison sentence for lying to federal agents about her use of performance-enhancing drugs and a check-fraud scam.
"As the new CEO of USA Track & Field, I have a moral and practical duty to make the case against her request," Doug Logan wrote in an open letter to the president, delivered Tuesday.
Jones was sentenced in January to six months in prison and 400 hours of community service in each of the two years following her release.
After repeatedly denying that she used performance-enhancing drugs, Jones admitted last October she had lied to federal investigators in November 2003. Jones also admitted lying about her knowledge of the involvement of Tim Montgomery, the father of her older son and a former 100-meter world-record holder, in a scheme to cash millions of dollars worth of stolen or forged checks. She was sentenced to six months on the steroids case and two months on the check-fraud case, but is serving those sentences concurrently.
