Despite her use of steroids, she should not be stripped of her medals. However, she should be banned from competition. Afterall, steroids or not, it took her hardwork to win the medal. You can go watch her races. Steroids or not, the amount of training put in is still phenomenal and she should keep the medal.

Despite her hard work in trainning, she is a lier and a fraud. How about the hard work and trainning that her Olympic competetors went through only to be robbed by this fraud… what a disgrace… I guess winning was everything to her, even if it meant cheating.. those medals are worthless now.
