If she hadn't cheated using the BALCO products, she wouldn't be going to jail for perjury. She still would for check fraud, but she is, at least in part, going to jail for cheating.

That may be semantics, but it makes sense to me. More sense than Strange Famous saying that mothers shouldn't have to serve time anyway.
