San Jose (USA), May 27: Sprint star Marion Jones has continued her counterattack against anti-doping officials by going public with what her camp claims is flawed evidence against her.
"This reminds me of someone trying to take away your license for drunk driving, and they didn't do a sobriety test, but a bartender kept a ledger with your name and the amount of alcohol supposedly given," Joseph Burton, a lawyer for Jones, told the New York Times yesterday.
Jones' representatives showed the Times and the San Jose Mercury News some of the documents they were given on Monday in a meeting with representatives of the US anti-doping agency.
According to the newspapers, the documents included in part negative steroid test results, calendars and a ledger.

Burton cited what he called flaws in the evidence - which included drug test sample collection on dates when Jones was en route to Sydney, Australia, for the 2000 Olympics.
In another instance, two tests apparently conducted on the same day with consecutive identification numbers showed different results.



And one item showing apparent track times on calendar pages that appear to outline a drug schedule said to be for Jones, reflect elite men's times in the 100 metres - 9.84sec, 9.86 and 9.97 - rather than women's times.
