birdwatcherBBC -- Mother-of-two Jones, 32, had asked US District Judge Kenneth Karas to be "as merciful as a human being can be".
But the judge imposed the maximum under her plea deal "because of the need for general deterrence and the need to promote respect for the law".
Judge Karas said he believed a message needed to be sent to athletes who have abused drugs and as a result, have overlooked the values of "hard work, dedication, teamwork and sportsmanship".
"Athletes in society have an elevated status, they entertain, they inspire, and perhaps, most important, they serve as role models." Про судей такого не скажешь!!!

Date: 2008-01-13 12:11 am (UTC)M.J. was a wittness. She lied about her business relations with
BALCO. Lying to federal authority is a serious crime in US.
That is why she went to jail.
Had he admitted that she used BALCO's drug, she would be
in lot of trouble with sport authorities, but would
remain free.
