Maria took full responsibility ... unlike most in this situation, she didn't hide behind some obvious lie, nor duck the issue.
Personally, I wish more athlete's were this accountable ...
And let's not suddenly ignore her PLENTY charitable endeavors/donations, proving one of the more giving athlete's.
Maria deserves better than above.
Maria deserves no more than she has earned.
I prefer athletes who have nothing for which to be acountable. If she is telling the truth then file for the retroactive certification.
That would get her suspension lifted and sponsorships reinstated.
