The world is filled with competetion and challenge. Many people betray their conscience for the purpose of gaining glory. In September 6, 2008, the famous sprinter of United State, Marion Jones, was released from the prison where she stayed as long as six months. Because she used some banned medicine such as steriod to improve her perfomance at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. She lied to the federal investigators about using steriods. She denying all the rumors about she using stimilant until last year. Afer that, the standings normally would be readjusted, with the second-place finisher moved up to gold, third to silver and fourth to bronze. Ans Jones had to give up five medals which she won at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Sometimes, people's judgement was warped by their self-interest. Many people live under their lies. The glory is very attractive, but we have to live with our certain standards...

I really liked this story. You included facts to let us readers judge for ourselves. But you also gave a strong argument that people like Marion Jones give up everything, including their conscience, to gain glory. I would only suggest you mention some more recent 'cheaters' in sports who have done a lot to ruin the reputation of the sport they are known for.
