Stripped of Olympic track medals for steroid use, Marion Jones seeks to make amends in WNBA

Sprinter Marion Jones seeks to make amends in WNBA

TULSA, Okla. — Marion Jones made a mistake and paid the price for it. Now she is ready to move on.

Jones will return to sports on Saturday night when she makes her debut with the Tulsa Shock, the WNBA franchise that moved out of Detroit in the offseason.

The 34-year-old Jones is best known as the American track star who won three gold and two bronze medals at the Sydney Games, only to lose them after testing positive for a designer steroid. She also spent six months in prison for lying to federal prosecutors.

Jones is a former point guard who won a national championship at North Carolina back in 1994.
