Marion Jones appears at Austin clinic, tells kids: Think first

Texas TV station KVUE covered Marion Jones’ appearance at a youth clinic organized last weekend by masters track majordomo Seth Brower in Austin. The station reported her message to the kids: “When you’re facing a situation in your life that’s critical — that the consequences could be life-changing – stop, take a break. Step back. Think. Consult your advisors, your friends, the people whom you trust to help you make the best decision.” KVUE also interviewed Marion separately for the 3 1/2-minute clip shown a day or two ago. Biggest revelation of the TV report: “She has written several books and hints that another one about her recent experience may be in the works.”

Marion ate up the attention of a friendly crowd of fawning youngsters.

    Anything she has to say or write will be a lie, so tell her to save the ink, unless she wants to come clean and finally tell the truth.

    Hmmm, did I miss something? I thought that she DID tell the truth. Jerry

    No, she still says she knew nothing about the drugs she was taking.
