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?

Well, lets remember that there are two practical questions here. The first is more legalistic, I think, and turns on whether the teammates ought to be forced to return medals earned with the help of a doping teammate. For me, the (rather unsatisfying) answer is no.
The second, and tougher, question is whether these teammates should – as a matter of personal decency – return the medals. That question I can’t really answer. As someone who didn’t put in the blood, sweat, and tears required to earn that medal (dope or not), I say she probably should. But I wouldn’t even begin to presume to substitute my own judgment for that of an Olympic athlete. It’s up to each one of these three other women to decide what they need to do. And I won’t (and I don’t think anyone else should) second guess that decision.
I guess whomever came in fourth place should be getting a bronze then.
They all use drugs!
