D-Day For Disgraced Athlete Jones Drugs cheat athlete Marion Jones will be sentenced today for lying to FBI investigators. The disgraced star, who became the first woman to win five medals at an Olympics, admitted taking steroids. A tearful Jones outside courtJones has been stripped of the three gold and two bronze medals she won at the 2000 Sydney games. Now she is returning to court in New York to discover whether she will be sent to prison.

I almost feel sorry for her, but the way she so vehemently and strongly denounced the notion she took steriods is haunting her. She was such an icon in sports - it's too bad she had to fall this hard. Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and other stars should pay attention and confess now b4 its too late. |

Hmmm, is "lying to investigators" a criminal offense? |
Re: Marion Jones Might Go To Jail by JeSoul(f): 12:39am On Jan 12, 2008 |
Seun:lying to federal investigators is. Barry bonds is also in that hot water. toshmann:haba it's not like she killed someone! 20yrs ke? she took drugs and lied about it! She was sentenced to 6mths in jail and 800hrs community service and I think that is sufficient. She's returned the medals, had her records wiped off the books and will forever be subject to public disgrace and debacle, what more do you want? |
Re: Marion Jones Might Go To Jail by Mustay(m): 12:48am On Jan 12, 2008 |
She was ma fav. but I tried to cry when she tried to cry at the press conference after the sentence |
Re: Marion Jones Might Go To Jail by Nobody: 1:30am On Jan 12, 2008 |
Seun: it is a criminal offence in the US. |
Re: Marion Jones Might Go To Jail by Nobody: 4:10am On Jan 12, 2008 |
she has been sentenced to 6 months in federal prison, cos she lied to federal officials.but the judge was silent on the actual offence. |
Re: Marion Jones Might Go To Jail by cooljoe(m): 10:16am On Jan 12, 2008 |
olrotimi:Thats true, its hurts that Mario Jones will have to go away for 6 months. To me, she was and still is a very good sprinter, it's a pity. |

@ migines No one is saying, what she did was right, but you didn't have to be that raw, everyone has got a skeleton in their cupboard, it takes some doing to open up. |
