Marion Jones has completed most of her term and has been released from a federal penitentiary:
‘Jones left a halfway house in San Antonio around 8 a.m.,’ said LaTanya Robinson, a community corrections manager for the federal Bureau of Prisons. Jones, who has a house in Austin, will remain on probation.
The sprinter admitted last October that she used a designer steroid known as “the clear” from September 2000 to July 2001. The drug was linked to the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, the lab that became the center of a steroids scandal that touched numerous professional athletes, including baseball star Barry Bonds.
In 2004, she sued the founder of BALCO for defamation after he said she used steroids. The lawsuit was settled the following year, long before she told the truth in a federal courtroom.”
So what’s next for Marion, you ask? Perhaps a position as a coach for a JV track and field team out in Podunk, USA. Poor thang.
