Opinion, please: should she return her gold medal?

Marion Jones, the Olympic champion, has admitted to doping and returned the five medals she won in the 2000 Olympics. Local track star, LaTasha Colander-Clark of Portsmouth, was a team member of Jones’ on the 4×400 relay which won the gold medal. The US Olympic Committee is calling for the return of the medals from Colander-Clark and other members of the team as well as the members of the 4×100 relay team in which Jones participated and which won a bronze medal. One member of that team, Passion Richardson, says she should be able to keep her medal.

So – should Colander-Clark and the other members of the relay teams be required to return their medals?

A former candidate, I've learned a lot about politics, both good and bad. I'd prefer more of the former and a lot less of the latter and I'm trying to do my part!

  1. I guess whomever came in fourth place should be getting a bronze then.
