After admitting to steroid use, Marion Jones returned all five medals she won in the Sydney Olympics in 2000 "She has returned the medals," attorney Henry DePippo said Monday. "She's not going to comment on the matter while it's pending in court but the medals were returned today." The track star admitted in federal court Friday that she took a steroid known as "the clear" before, during and after the Sydney games. She also pleaded guilty to two counts of obstruction of justice.
"I want you to know that I have been dishonest and you have the right to be angry with me. I have let (my family) down, I have let my country down and I have let myself down," a tearful Jones said after the court session. The admission came after years of angry denials she had used steroids.
At least she had the shriveled up balls to come forward and admit she did wrong. If only we could get all of those pros in football, baseball, wrestling, etc. to admit their use of steroids. Takes a woman to do a man's job sometimes.

What happend here? I heard about this when I was in Cali and I have no idea how or why she got caught! I am happy she fessed up but I think it so sad for her. She should have played in the WNBA. No one would have thought anything.
