Marion Jones Admits Steroid Use

Marion Jones will plead guilty to two counts of lying to a federal agent about her steroid use, according to law enforcement sources. The maximum penalty for that offense is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, although Jones is expected to do only a few months of jail time, if any at all.

Jones is believed to have used two designer steroids, "the cream," a lotion loaded with testosterone, and "the clear," a steroid that like the cream is designed to avoid detection - beginning in 1999.
