I think its sad when people work so hard to make something for themselves then do something stupid. Marion Jones who was a five time Olympic gold medal winner just started her 6 month federal prison sentence in Texas today.
She is in prison for lying to federal investigators about using steroids and for a check fraud scheme. Why would she have done that? I don’t know why people do what they do.
After her 6 months in jail she will be on 2 years probation and must do 800 hours of community service. DANG, thats it???
She told Oprah in January that, “I have no regrets for doing what I did on Oct. 5th and pleading guilty and admitting to the world that I lied, that I’ve made mistakes.” I do have to give her credit for that.
She has returned all of her medals that she won in 2000, and is the first professional sports figure to receive prison time.
