Celebrity Justice
Juiced Jones Gets Six Months

A judge has just sentenced disgraced Olympic champion Marion Jones to six months in prison. Gimme that medal!

Jones, who recently returned her three gold and two bronze medals, had begged a judge to keep her out of the slammer. The 31-year-old former runner and long jumper was one of the most celebrated female athletes in the world -- until it was revealed she routinely used performance-enhancing drugs.

She recently admitted to lying to a federal investigator in 2003, and confessed that she took steroids "several times before the Sydney Olympics and continued using it after." What a role model.

1. It was her ex that was in all of this too. Not her husband. And she is serving her time. People should let it go at that. She didnt go to California, that much I can promise you. What she did was a federal crime because she lied to Federal Agents. And it wasnt just the steroids. Leave the woman alone! She is doing her time and paying the price.

3. Young athletes should really pay attention to this. Don't do steroids. It's straight up cheating and terrible for you. Aside from that, whatever you do DON'T LIE TO FEDERAL INVESTIGATOR!

5. Do Steroids If You Must But Just Don't Admit Doing It!

Steroids are bad for your body long term.

6. I feel bad for her and I think they were way to hard on her. This happened so long ago, and I don't even know why she said anything, I'm sure someone made her or something. I think there are so many real criminals out there and yes everyone deserves to be punished, but lets be real she has been punished enough. They know damn well she should not have served any jail time, whether it is 6 months or 6 days.

7. I think she paid a big enough price with her medals being taken away and the public humiliation. She should have been found guilty but had sentancing waived. Maybe Baby Bush will give her a pardon for the same crime as his buddy Scooter.

13. UGH, DON'T CRY NOW. IT'S A LITTLE TOO LATE FOR THAT. DO THE TIME, YOU DID THE CRIME. NOW SHE CAN TEACH HER KIDS NOT TO DO STEROIDS NOT UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE LIKE MOMMY A JAIL BIRD.

14. LYING TO FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS ISN'T SERIOUS?
IT WAS SO LONG AGO?

You people are crazy.
She got what she deserved.
Cheater, liar, fraud, embarassment to the US Olympic Team.
Pathetic human beings belong in prison, she'll fit right in there.

15. 6 months.... yet, celebritards with multiple DUI and/or drug convictions (or both), serve no more than 36 hours. Sickening.
