PASSING THE BATON: TRACK SUPERSTAR MARION JONES' DUTY AND LIABILITY TO HER OLYMPIC RELAY TEAMMATES I. INTRODUCTION In October of 2007, millions of avid sports fanatics, track and field aficionados, and Marion Jones enthusiasts felt the pain of their hearts breaking as the gold medal track star admitted to taking performance enhancing drugs.' The Olympian confessed to ingesting the steroid tetrahydrogestrinone (THG or "the clear") before the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. 2 After seven years of denial, Marion Jones pled guilty to lying to federal investigators about using the ster- oids and was subsequently punished by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and the International Olympic Com- mittee (IOC).3 The question then remains:

  • For Release, December 16, 1998 Contact
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Kelsey Rhoney (312-729-3685) GATORADE® NATIONAL GIRLS TRACK & FIELD ATHLETE OF THE YEAR: KATELYN TUOHY 2016-2017 National Girls Track & Field Winner and Female Athlete of the Year Sydney McLaughlin Surprises Winner with Honor Thiells, NY. (June 26, 2018) – In its 33rd year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company today announced Katelyn Tuohy of North Rockland High School (Thiells, NY) as its 2017-18 Gatorade National Girls Track & Field Athlete of the Year. Tuohy was surprised with the news by 2016-2017 National Girls Track & Field Winner and Female Athlete of the Year Sydney McLaughlin. Tuohy is the first athlete in history to win the Gatorade Player of the Year national title for two different sports, cross country and track & field. Check out the surprise video here. “With national records from the mile to the 5,000 meters, Katelyn Tuohy has reached a level in high school distance running that we’ve seen only once before, with Mary Cain a few years ago,” said Doug Binder, Editor-in-Chief for Dyestat.com. “But to do this as a sophomore, Katelyn’s even beyond Mary’s level of accomplishment. No one in modern times has ever held the outdoor high school records in both the mile and the 2-mile [converted from her national record in the 3200], and Tuohy got both records in high school-only races where she had to do all of the work. Her record-breaking mile in 90-degree heat in North Carolina this June is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen.” The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Tuohy as the nation’s best female high school track & field athlete.

    Volume 12, Number 2 {coverage from July 1 Æ December 31, 2010} AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION DECISIONS United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) v. LaShawn Merritt, AAA No. 771900029310 (Oct., 2010). Merritt tested positive for the prohibited substance DHEA and pregnenolone three separate times. Merritt claims that he ingested the substance by accident, but he does admit that he tested positive as a result of ingesting ExtenZe, a product used for enhanced sexual performance. USADA agreed that the positive results were caused by ExtenZe, and as such represent an accidental ingestion. The panel found that Merritt was not significantly negligent and reduced the required two-year ineligibility status to twenty-one months, starting October 28, 2009 and ending July 27, 2011. He is also prohibited from participating in and accessing the U.S. Olympic Training Facilities during this period. United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) v. Kirk O’Bee, AAA No. 771900051509JENF (Oct., 2010). Cyclist O’Bee committed his second anti-doping violation when he tested positive for recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO), eight years after testing positive for testosterone. USADA was also able to prove that O’Bee either used or possessed HGH as early as September 2005, and used testosterone after his first suspension. The panel imposed a lifetime suspension and disqualified his cycling results from October 3, 2005 through July 29, 2009, the date of his suspension from the sport.

  • Coordinating Investigations and Sharing Anti-Doping Information and Evidence
    Coordinating Investigations and Sharing Anti-Doping Information and Evidence May 2011 1. Introduction 1.1 Based on experience gained, evidence gathered, and lessons learned in the first ten years of its existence, it is WADA’s firm view that, to succeed in the fight against doping in sport, and so to protect the rights of clean athletes everywhere, Anti-Doping Organizations need to move beyond drug-testing alone to develop additional ways of gathering, sharing and exploiting information and evidence about the supply to and use of prohibited substances and methods by athletes under their jurisdiction. 1.2 While drug-testing will always remain an important part of the anti- doping effort, it is not capable on its own of uncovering and establishing most of the anti-doping rule violations in the World Anti- Doping Code that Anti-Doping Organizations must investigate and pursue. In particular, while the violations of presence and use of prohibited substances and methods can be uncovered by laboratory analysis of urine and blood samples collected from athletes, other anti- doping rule violations such as possession or administration of or trafficking in prohibited substances or methods can only be effectively identified and pursued through the collection of ‘non-analytical’ anti- doping information and evidence. 1.3 This means new investigative methods and techniques have to be deployed, and new partnerships have to be forged, particularly between the sports movement and public authorities engaged in the broader fight against doping in society. These new partnerships will allow Anti-Doping Organizations to take advantage of the investigative powers of those public authorities, including search and seizure, surveillance, and compulsion of witness testimony under penalties of perjury.

Consequently, IOC Executive Board’s decision has been set aside, and on the basis of the IOC and IAAF Rules in force and applicable at the time of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, the CAS Panel has ruled that the United States’ teams that competed in the women’s 4x100m and 4x400m athletics relay events at the Sydney Games shall not be disqualified and the medals and diplomas awarded to the Athletes shall not be returned to the IOC. The Athletes, together with Nanceen Perry and Marion Jones, competed in the 4x100m and/or 4x400m relay events at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. In October 2007, following the so- called ‘BALCO’ case, Marion Jones signed an ‘Acceptance of Sanction’ form in front of the United States Anti-Doping Agency admitting that she had used a prohibited substance during the Sydney Olympic Games and accepted various sanctions including the return of all medals won by her at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Furthermore, the IOC Executive Board decided to disqualify Marion Jones from all track and field events in which she had competed at the Sydney Games, including the 4x100m and 4x400m relay races.

  • Sprinters Falsify the Deliberate Practice Model of Expertise
    You can’t teach speed: sprinters falsify the deliberate practice model of expertise Michael P. Lombardo1 and Robert O. Deaner2 1 Department of Biology, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI, USA 2 Department of Psychology, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI, USA ABSTRACT Many scientists agree that expertise requires both innate talent and proper training. Nevertheless, the highly influential deliberate practice model (DPM) of expertise holds that talent does not exist or makes a negligible contribution to performance. It predicts that initial performance will be unrelated to achieving expertise and that 10 years of deliberate practice is necessary. We tested these predictions in the domain of sprinting. In Studies 1 and 2 we reviewed biographies of 15 Olympic champions and the 20 fastest American men in U.S. history. In all documented cases, sprinters were exceptional prior to initiating training, and most reached world class status rapidly (Study 1 median D 3 years; Study 2 D 7.5). In Study 3 we surveyed U.S. national collegiate championships qualifiers in sprintersn ( D 20) and throwers (n D 44). Sprinters recalled being faster as youths than did throwers, whereas throwers recalled greater strength and throwing ability. Sprinters’ best performances in their first season of high school, generally the onset of formal training, were consistently faster than 95–99% of their peers. Collectively, these results falsify the DPM for sprinting. Because speed is foundational for many sports, they challenge the DPM generally.

GARCIA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and JOSEPH P. RUSSONIELLO, the United States Attorney for the Northern District of California, announced that MARION JONES-THOMPSON, 32, of Austin, Texas, was sentenced today to six months in prison for making false statements in connection with two separate federal investigations. The sentence was imposed by United States District Judge KENNETH M. KARAS in federal court in White Plains, New York. On October 5, 2007, JONES-THOMPSON pleaded guilty before Judge KARAS to a two-count Superseding Information.

A content analysis of newspaper articles concerning the 2009 NCAA basketball championship was conducted using articles published by the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Houston Chronicle, and Chicago Tribune. The results indicate little evidence that men and women athletes are portrayed in a stereotypical manner consistent with their respective genders. These findings contrast with prior research and suggest possible progress towards more gender equality in the representation of women athletes within print media.
