Marion Jones Admits To Using Roids

The Washington Post received a letter Marion Jones had written to friends and family, admitting that she had taken steroids.Jones claims she took steroids for 2 years prior to the 2000 Olymipcs.
Marion says she thought she was taking diet supplements, and later found out , she had really been on the "Clear".

Marion Jones was one of the greatest women to ever grace the track.She made history in the 2000 Olympics winning a record 5 medals. She received 3 Gold medals for 100m , 200m and 4x400 relay; Bronze in 4x100 relay and the long jump.
Marion also made her mark in the World Championships wining Gold for 100m 97' , 4x100 relay 97' , 100m 00' , 200m 01', Silver for 100m 01', and Bronze for long lump 99'.
After being involved with the BALCO incident, it has been down hill for Marion.In 2006 she was involved in a multi million dollar check fraud scheme, with her then boyfriend and coach.
After winning 5 Gold medals, millions in endorsements, being named Athlete of the Year, and World Fastest Woman, in 2007 she was broke.After being forced to sell off all her multi million dollar homes and properties, Marion was left with less than 2, 000 bucks in the bank.
This is a great disappointment to all her fans who have stood by her for so long , for her to come out years later , and admit she had been lying the whole time.
What I'm saying iz...Looks like Marion can kiss those 5 medals good bye. That's a shame because, the 2000 Olympics was a big win for the United States, and now that will all be taking from us, not to mention her teammates.

I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN HER. THE FACT THAT SHE LIED AND TOOK SO LONG TO ADMIT IT, MADE THE DISGRACE EVEN WORSE.
