conviction

[edit ]

The article seems to be confused as to exactly what she was convicted for. The article needs to state the exact, legal, name of the crime for which she pled guilty to and was subsequently convicted of. "guilty plea to steroid use" and "convicted of lying" are not good enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.78.68.235 (talk) 11:52, 6 October 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

This is a STRANGE article. On the bottom, you confirm that she pleaded guilty to LYING to Federal investigators. Yet, on the top, you state she "Pleaded guilty" to "steroid use". Am I missing something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.132.25.45 (talk) 20:44, 23 November 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

She was convicted for perjury, and I have noted this in the article. EdChem (talk) 10:39, 12 January 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

  • Technically she pleaded guilty to two counts of obstruction of justice - charge one pertained to false statements made in a federal grand jury investigation in the BALCO case; charge two pertained to false statements made in a federal grand jury investigation in a bank-fraud case involving her ex-husband and a former coach. A third obstruction charge was dropped in exchange for her guilty plea on the first two charges. Cbs527 (talk) 10:39, 10 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

discussion of other balco scandal athletes

[edit ]

the final paragraph of the lede is thus:

At the time of her admission and subsequent guilty plea, Marion Jones was one of the most famous people to be linked to the BALCO scandal.[3] Forty-one days later, Major League Baseball player Barry Bonds was indicted on one count of obstruction of justice and four counts of perjury linked to his own testimony before the BALCO grand jury in December 2003.[4] The case against BALCO covered more than 20 top level athletes including Jones' ex-husband shot putter C.J. Hunter and the father of Jones' first child, world record setting sprinter Tim Montgomery.


This article is entitled "Marion Jones". The topic of the article is Marion Jones. The article is about Marion Jones. Is Barry Bonds Marion Jones, or related to her? no, the only relation is via the balco scandal - said article being where discussion of both marion jones and barry bonds is appropriate. There *is* a relationship between jones and her ex-husband, and the father of her first child, thus that connection is legitimately made. i see no apparent reason for barry bonds in particular to be named. why doesn't it call out benito santiago? or bill romanowski?

i tried removing the discussion of bonds, on the grounds that it's not directly related to jones (again, it's related *indirectly* via balco, and the balco article is precisely where that connection is valid). however, it was reverted on the claim that 'it's relevant'. what's the relevance? again, it's relevant in the balco article. it's not relevant to marion jones.
