Marion Jones


Time after time as she denied using performance-enhancing drugs, Marion says she was fully aware of her actions. "I made the choice to at that time protect myself, to protect my family, and I have paid the consequences dearly," she says.

Marion says she has always been a believer in God but that she strayed. "Everybody strays at some point in their life, and I strayed and I made mistakes and I am no different than anybody else except for the fact that you see me on the front page of the paper," she says.
