Marion Jones admitted using steroids before the 2000 Olympics in a recent letter to close family and friends, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

Jones, a triple gold medalist in Sydney, said she took "the clear" for two years, beginning in 1999, and that she got it from former coach Trevor Graham, the newspaper reported. Graham told her it was flaxseed oil.

"The clear" is a performance-enhancing drug linked to BALCO, the lab at the center of the steroids scandal in professional sports.

Until now, Jones had steadfastly denied she ever took any kind of performance-enhancing drugs.

My range of emotions:

:eek: Initially shocked at the news

:pissed:Pissed off for the bigger blacker eye this puts on track

:smash: What an idiot Marion is, especially after she adamantly denied doping

:roll1: After the initial shock cleared, it really doesn't surprise me

Steriods? Really? You'd never tell by her soft, feminine physique and huge titties...
Ya... like I said, it really doesn't surprise me. Especially since her at one time partner Tim Montgomery was banned for 2 years for doping (had his 100m world record stripped also).

In this day of revealing drug use... I am half tempted to assume that if you broke a record, won multiple medals or are head and shoulders above your competition, you are using something.

Todays training facilitie are pretty equal all over the world. There is no excuse for someone being so rediculously better than every other world class athlete.

College, I can buy that. Pros you are pushing it, Olympics- HELL NO!!!!

This is no surprise at all, because yes her husband was busted right arount Olympic time. Plus, her complexion looked like Mark McGwire's during those Olympics, so it wasn't all that hard to tell even then.
