Marion Jones admitting drug use on the 5th October 2007 (youtube video)

(eurweb.com) The five medals won by Marion Jones in Sydney may be in jeopardy after the track sprinter sent a letter to close family and friends admitting that she used steroids before the 2000 Olympics.

Jones said she took “the clear” for two years, beginning in 1999, and that she received it from former coach Trevor Graham, who told her it was flaxseed oil, reports the Washington Post.

“The clear” is a performance-enhancing drug linked to BALCO, the lab at the center of a federal steroids investigation. Until now, Jones had repeatedly denied she ever took any form of performance-enhancing drugs.

Jones said she will plead guilty today in New York to two counts of lying to federal agents about her drug use and an unrelated financial matter, the Post reported. (more…)

What is really going to be messed up is if all the medals she won during her “unknowing” drug use are taken away from her. That is when it is going to hit her like a ton of bricks.

“The Marion Jones reality show” I say will pop up in about a couple of years.
