...years she angrily dismissed the rumors and even filed a defamation suit after an associate claimed to have supplied her with performance-enhancing drugs. But as a federal probe closed in on her, track great Marion Jones, 32, acknowledged lying to investigators and admitted to ingesting the steroid THG between 1999 and 2001. Jones, who faces prison time, returned the five medals she won at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and tearfully apologized to fans outside a New York City courthouse for having "betrayed your trust." U.S. Olympics chief Peter Ueberroth asked Australians for forgiveness. But the apologies fell short...

BALCO also makes a perfectly legal mineral supplement called ZMA (mostly zinc and magnesium), which it got famous athletes to mention in public a lot (Jones has touted it and still...
...weeks ago, the USADA got sprinter Kelli White to confess to using a series of banned drugs, accept a two-year suspension from the sport and agree to help with the investigation. Jones and Montgomery were among 27 athletes reportedly named by BALCO founder Victor Conte as having received THG, according to a federal investigator's memo. Conte denies making that admission. What the USADA showed Jones and her attorneys last week were BALCO notebooks that contain circumstantial evidence, such as a training calendar with the initials M.J. and letters whose meaning is not clear but that may be abbreviations...
