Marion Jones was an outstanding American athlete who won 5 gold medals at the Olympics in Sydney (Autralia) in 2000. Now, seven years later she admitted taking steroids to run faster and be stronger than her oponents. She has now been judged because she lied about taking steroids. Apart from that, her personal life is a complete disaster. She also admitted she earned a lot of money during her career but now she only has 2000 dollars in her bank account.
