Johnson not surprised by Jones’ confession

LONDON -- Disgraced sprinter Ben Johnson wasn’t surprised by Marion Jones’ confession, and he’s waiting for more athletes to admit they took banned drugs.

“I believe that everyone on the international level is using performance-enhancing drugs,” Johnson said in a radio interview with Al-Jazeera. “And, you know, it’s widespread and it’s going to continue on. A lot more people [are] going to be also coming forward.”

Jones admitted last week she was using banned substances when she won five Olympic medals at the 2000 Sydney Games. “I expected it,” Johnson said.
