Why would anyone want to give such a great accomplishment up. No one would. But Marian was faced with a awful choice she made during the games that would change her life forever. She was pressured to take a drug that effects the way you perform. She was performing better than she ever did. Everyone questioned how she was doing this? How was this possible to do? Soon after she was taking the drug people and sources were questioning if a drug was coming into play to make her the best. She was talked if she ever took drugs before. She denied it and said that she would never take drugs and is not going to start. 2007 came along and the facts and rumors were going around that she was going drugs to become the best. She finally made a statement outside the courthouse saying that she did take drugs and she was guilty of lying to FBI agency  and lying to her fans about taking the drugs. She was sentenced to jail for about 6 and a half months for this. How being at the top one minute and going to jail for making a bad choice because you wanted to win. She was breaking the rules and no one knew for  so long because they didn't believe it and they never thought for a minute she would.The person who gave  this to her forced and put it upon her to do it. Pressuring her was a big role that she couldn't control during the whole case against her for taking drugs.The regret she had after she told everyone outside that courthouse that she lied as the tears were running down her face.Struggling in prison to get by day by day waiting for the day she would be released. Coming back from her struggle she was able to recover. To get from the experience to have a new outlook on life. To learn from the mistake she made.
