Marion Jones: Cleared?

According to a breaking story on Fox Sports, sprinter Marion Jones, who tested positive for the banned endurance enhancer EPO on June 23, has been cleared after her "B" urine sample came back negative. In all of the rush to judgment of athletes for real and alleged drug transgressions, let's keep in mind the hoary old principle of innocence until guilt has been proven. Jones has for years been the object of rampant speculation. She has always denied all allegations. The sporting media thus seemed especially pleased to have captured her pelt after the test result was announced, which, many seasoned observers thought, sounded dubious. Now I hope they devote as much time to clearing her name as they have spent in recent years trying to smear it. Somehow I imagine my hope will go unfulfilled.
