Marion Jones was released from prison on Friday morning in San Antonio after serving a six-month sentence for her little white lie to federal prosecutors about her use of steroids.
Jones took a banned substance, tetrahydrogestrinone (THG), known as “the clear,” before the 2000 Olympics in Sydney and later lied to federal prosecutors about her usage.
Thanks to athletes like Jones, who cheated by using performance enhancing drugs, the track & field community is left to question any athlete that has great success in the sport.
Jones, 32, now faces the challenge of trying to rebuild her life after she was stripped of her Olympic medals and wiped from the record books.
Good luck with that, Marion.
