Marion Jones Sentenced to 6 Months for Steroid Use

marionjones.jpgDisgraced Olympic runner Marion Jones has been sentenced to six months in prison for lying about her steroid use and for check-writing fraud.

In October, she was stripped of the three gold medals and two bronze that she won for sprints at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.

She long decried use of the drugs, at one point saying:

“Nobody has ever said anything about Marion Jones ever using performance-enhancing drugs and they never will,” Jones said. “I’m for a drug-free sport and always will be.”

But after realizing she could go to jail for lying about it, she changed her tune to ask for a lighter sentence, pleading that her two young children needed her. The judge didn’t have any of it. Her sentence begins in March.
