The three formerly accused Duke lacrosse players, Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and Dave Evans, have brought a federal lawsuit against the city of Durham. They alledge a multitude of items and they are seeking punitive and compensatory damages.

How much will they get if they win? Unsure, but based on reports prior to the lawsuit being filed, the group was looking for $30 million dollars and changes in police procedures:

It didn't take a genius to predict it, but I've railed against her for so long I feel vindicated. Our long, national nightmare is over. Marion Jones is going to plead to using steroids.

FINALLY

I wrote two articles concerning this in the past. In the first article I discussed how Marion Jones quacked like a duck. In the second article I discussed her testing positive for drugs. Remember, in that article there was a blanket denial from her concerning usage.

Marion Jones tests positive for drugs - finally, her career is over

My disdain for Marion Jones has a long history, but finally, her career should be over.

Marion Jones failed a drug test from a June test at the United States track and field championships. Yes, none of this has been formalized. Yes, there is still a second blood sample to test. Yes, no one in an official capacity has made an official announcement.

But this should finish the bitch's career.

The odd thing is that Marion Jones tested positive for EPO , which is usually for long distance athletes. Â

Marion Jones continues to lose

There aren't many professional athletes I despise. They can make as much money as they want. They can act as childish as they want. The only time I'll come close to despising an professional athlete is when they cheat. Marion Jones is one of those athletes, and it burns me up the press is treating her comeback attempts with such open arms.Â

Yes, I know Marion Jones has technically never been found to have used enhancement products. Awesome for her. But what is that saying? If it smells like shit, it probably is shit?

The Balco incident is recent enough history that she should have found a way to retire and move out of the sport. Instead Marion Jones is attempting a comeback, and it's not going very well.
