Marion Jones recounts her experience in prison

Marion Jones recounts her experience in prison with CNN's Piers Morgan.

[@jetstream9480]

I was 14 years old when I saw her run the 200m final in Sydney Olympic. She was an inspiration. Was really heartbroken when I heard about her doping case .

[@0Shane13]

she's still so cute

[@FreshPrinceofcolombo]

She payed for what she did, fully. I feel sorry for her because she was remorseful. and I believe that everone deserves a second, sometimes even third chance to start over. I just wish her well.

[@ebonyrushharrington4980]

It just all what depends

[@dgfox474]

Class act. Humour, Candour, Humility in the face of tremendously trying circumstances. How many people can say they faced their demons so nakedly , and rehabilitated so fully. Reminds of the quote about preferring to be whole over being good.

[@calam8286]

Always had the hots for Marion. Even more so after seeing this charming, sweet, pretty, vulnerable woman.

[@notundermywatch3163]

Yes she was hot even back then with bulging muscles. Her smile was so special and still is.

[@riverman8891]

Oh God. I still love this woman!! I'm happy watching her lips while she's talking ♥️

[@notundermywatch3163]

I loved her and still do. She was the best and gorgeous and she's still gorgeous. Her smile illuminated my teenage years.

@@mimad4923 Does that mean George W Bush and his administration should go to prison for lying about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and sending the US to war which thousands of lives were unnecessarily lost?

[@nielsdorhout058]

She took other athletes once in a lifetime moments away of getting a gold medal on the biggest podium. Imagine how it is having a silver medal an then getting a gold medal in the mail because of a cheat.

[@sngs9565]

Yup...give more air time for all the drug cheats! You should be interviewing those been robbed great moment in their life because of this drug cheeeeaaatttt! You cheated!

[@kittyrocoa714]

True enough and on top of that celebrities and people in general have committed worse crimes and not gone to prison. I think the fact her career was ruined, the amount of money she lost, the fact her crime would and was broad cast to the world and getting a community service order was more than enough.

[@AntisocialSka1]

We all make mistakes. Unless others are irrevocably hurt, any mistake can be forgiven. So all the best to Marion, relax and look to the future

[@ebonyrushharrington4980]

Not always

[@WD-xy4bl]

Stop trying to find excuses, she's a liar and cheater and she should be ashamed of herself

[@higherlearning2660]

She's living her best life and doesn't give a 💩 about two creeps talking about her in the comment section all these years later. Prisoners of your own minds. 😅

Such as sweet and humble woman. sadly many athletes were able to fly under the radar with PEDs. Sad the course that it took on her life. I hope she's well today.

[@Clyde177]

I'm glad she's doing well now.

[@hbb7528]

💯💯

[@Jackiechan007]

Greed is bad! And she didn’t need to be greedy because she was a natural and could’ve won them all without the stupid steroids!!! But she was brave enough to own her mistakes and in my book she is still one of the greatest athletes!!!

[@rankobarensic]

She did it in an era 99% was on the juice...same with Lance Armstrong...she is a gem and so glad she is doing well now❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sportsglobally146]

I will always show my respect for Jones she admitted her took drug so humble in the face of accusations

[@mooncloudplayz1633]

...the Texas athlete and now Tokyo Olympian, Tara Hunter that is a hurdler and long jumper looks like Marion Jones could be her mother or at the least older sibling it is uncanny

[@PunkExMachina]

What's she doing now?

[@reprovoa2408]

Olympic athletes are a spectacle where people want , demand , to see extraordinary physical achievements. The pressure they must feel Is Immense and so most of them take performance enhancing drugs. Why Is she not protected by her circumstances to some extent at least ?

[@chubbytworabbits470]

She is very strong to come into a programme after knowing that whole world knows she took drugs to win gold medal in 200 m Olympic in 2000. She is still laughing front of world . These all happens to her because of bad advices from her husband. Still I like her.

[@peeerlyb.7762]

[@Zululima-pl3lw]

Well.. at least we get to see how persons react to her vs Justin Gatlin.

[@commonsense369]

Wow, who are you to judge her? You can't even spell perjury correctly. Maybe you're right, maybe she hasn't learned her lesson, but you haven't either. The lesson you need to learn is rudimentary spelling, go back to elementary school and when you can spell as well as a fifth grader, then get back online and judge everyone else because by then you'll be perfect.

[@roter13]

they always put on the tears

[@sngs9565]

Exactly!

[@niceguy9184]

Has she apologized to fellow competitors for taking away their chance to be standing on the podium instead of her? Especially the 4th place finishers who never got a chance to see their country’s flag raised at the Olympics?

[@manman3792]

She did more than apologize stupid

[@Monbrax]

I remember looking at how masculine her face was at the time that she was still doing track and field and even though that should have been enough to hint or prove that she was suing steroids, I was in DENIAL because I thought that she was so awesome. Such a shame because her talent was evident even before she got into the olympics. I don't think that she needed the drugs, but I guess we'll never know.

[@Wordalways]

You sound stupid as fu@k....masculine face? You can't be black

She must the stupidest human I know. Now only does she get into trouble for doping, but continues to get into trouble with events ranging from check fraud, pergery, money laundering and more illegal substances. She really was destined to be in prison. I don't think shes learned her lesson, and a person like this can look you staright in the face, tell a lie and believe it whole hearditly.

[@matthewsdicksons5110]

We are really living in a crazy world. I mean think about it. You take substances in your body and doping yourself and you go prison for something like this. it's just a global competition nothing more serious. I don't understand why there is a need to be punished for such a completely insignificant thing, when in reality it has no meaning.
