IAAF to decide on Jones case

The IAAF will meet today to discuss Marion Jones’s doping case, including whether to officially erase her Olympic and world championship results. Jones’ relay teammates could also lose their medals.

Jones retired in October after admitting that she took the designer steroid “the clear” from September 2000 to July 2001. She won gold medals in the 100, 200 and 1,600-meter relay in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, as well as bronzes in the 400 relay and long jump.

Jones has returned her five Olympic medals and agreed to forfeit all results dating to Sept. 1, 2000.

But the International Association of Athletics Federation and International Olympic Committee must still change the record books and revise the medals.

Be careful how you treat your friends

Barry Bonds’ penchant for turning longtime friends into bitter enemies might come back to hurt him in at least two significant ways at trial.

First, there’s Steve Hoskins. He was once Bonds’ closest friend and served as best man at the slugger’s first wedding.

Then, there’s Kimberly Bell, the home run king’s girlfriend of 10 years, who dated him even after his first wedding. In fact, Hoskins’ sister introduced Bell to Bonds after a San Francisco Giants game in 1994.

Each had a nasty falling out with the notoriously prickly slugger, and each is now expected to be a key witness for the prosecution if Bonds goes to trial for perjury and obstruction of justice.

Hoskins and Bell each claim to have firsthand knowledge of Bonds’ steroid use, making them extremely valuable
