Its one thing to cheat and quite another to keep on lying about it under oath.
Personally I would be willing to forgive her (and the many others like her, Floyd Landis included - sorry Floyd but the evidence speaks against you) if they would simply admit they made a mistake. We all make mistakes in life, and they are only compounded by denying them.
Personally I would have more respect for her (and the many others like her) if they would voluntarily give up their medals and admit that it was wrong to cheat. Furthermore, I think that the athletes themselves would be better off; as winning at big competitions is nice but self-esteem is way more important.
Furthermore we're all partly to blame because we put so much emphasis on winning with stupid slogans like: 'if you're not cheating, you're not trying hard enough'. Aren't we?
Your thoughts?
