Marion Jones

I was a great admirer of Marion Jones, the former world champion track and field athlete, and a former professional basketball player for Tulsa Shock in the WNBA. She won five medals at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, but forfeited all medals and prizes dating back to September 2000 after her October 2007 admission that she took performance-enhancing drugs as far back as the 2000 Summer Olympics, and that she had lied about it to a grand jury investigating performance-enhancer creations. A brave interview by someone who could have made it big without the help of performance enhancing drugs. The lesson – cheating catches up.
