The Feds Nab a Track Star

Marion Jones, the American sports star who won five track-and-field medals at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, formally accepted a plea agreement from the government today at the United States District Court here, pleading guilty to making false statements to federal agents about her use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Why on Earth is the federal government imposing itself on track and field events? Don't they have better things to do?
