taekowndo jin deserves to keep her gold

this piece is posted in support for national athlete esther marie "em-em" singson.

for those not in the know, she tested positive of diuretics NOT performance enhancing drugs. doctors in the sports world say diuretics can be used to mask up steriods in the body. em- em tested negative of steroids beofre the SEAG. now the reason she had diuretics in her system was because she used kankunis a brand of herbal slimming tea weeks before the sea games. she used that to loose weight to make it to her class in the games with no intention at all of cheating. it was an honest mistake and will not make her any less of a champion. she won the gold fair and square against the indonesian. i saw the game myself. she deserves to keep that gold.
