    If you are going to lie after the fact, you should have lied straight up in the beginning. Drugs" What drugs? Deny everything.

    Anyone else here read "Game of Shadows"? A damn good read, and yeah, she likely knew what she was taking. And her hubs and trainer knew damn well, as is talked about in that book. Insane stuff, and things that make me fume, being a baseball purist (to the point that I hate AL play simply for inclusion of the DH and excluding the pitcher hitting and all batters fielding).

    You all should watch "Bigger Stronger Faster: A Side Effect of Being American." Its a documentary about the use of steroids in pro sports. Yeah, theres a lot about wrestling (hulk hogan or the iron sheik, anyone?) but its just heartbreaking to watch.

    lol...I think that's the reason why she got caught. She forgets what story to tell.

    Hmmm, it doesn't seem like she is consciously lying to me, i donno. More like she is/was in very active denial. So she is lying to herself more than to Oprah. But obviously this is just random speculation from the few things I've seen.


    It's not hard to imagine she took the pills and conveniently didn't question what her handlers were telling her. Self denial is really powerful. I mean, how do Bush and Palin live with themselves? (I'm not being facetious) Really, I don't think Bush and Palin are consciously evil people, I just think they employ very powerful denial in everyday life.

    Why does Oprah give an audience to convicted liars and frauds like Jones? She's the same one who shouted us all down over a year ago that she was clean. Oprah is showing her prejudices now, giving Black people who have been convicted of lying a chance to sell books, even when they are still lying. She is a disgrace for doing this. And why didnt she grilll this girl like she did when James Frey lied?

    Shameful display of continued deceit.

    to me, it's clear she is not being completely truthful.
    notice how she blinks excessively and looks away from oprah when answering questions about what she was told about the steroids.
    i wanted to yell, in my best judge judy voice:
    1. Don't look at the floor! Look at me!
    2. When you tell the truth, you don't have to have a very good memory.

    I was surprised by her comment that she lied about it "because she didn't love herself enough to tell the truth".


    I don't know but that sounds like a giant heap of BS to me.


    She lied because she thought she could get away with it.

    Watch the whole interview before making a judgment about how remorseful she is about this whole thing. I did. She took full responsibility for lying, and for not being more careful and cautious about what she put into her body. She showed intense, and, I think, sincere remorse and sorrow about what she did and how it affected everyone around her. To say she has no shame, or that she's "obviously lying" from watching just this one short clip is unfair.

    Jones's eyes often turned rightward down, which is usually a physical sign that a speaker is lying.
